“I’ve never noticed he looks like Pedro Pascal,” Stewart admitted, before showing a photo of what Gountas typically looks like in the office, which looks less like Pascal, but still very Pascal-esque.
“How did you do this?” Stewart asked Gountas.
Gountas then launched into a very funny explanation as to how he went from “Pedro No. 5” during a silly contest on Sunday to its ultimate winner.
Gountas explained that a fellow Daily Show staffer noticed fliers for the contest last week. The contest was held at Son Del North, a Mexican restaurant in the lower east side, and the prize for the winner was $50 and a year’s supply of free burritos, according to local news station FOX 5 New York.
