Ever get that one colleague who suddenly morphs into your favorite celebrity doppelgänger overnight? No? Well, strap in—because under today’s curious Gemini moon, which just so happens to spark a twist of witty duality and surprise, Daily Show’s Gountas unintentionally tapped into some cosmic celebrity mimicry. It all kicks off when Stewart casually drops, “I’ve never noticed he looks like Pedro Pascal,” sparking a delightful revelation that even the office look-alike isn’t quite the full Pascal effect—more like “Pascal-esc,” if you will. Amid laughter and eyebrow raises, Gountas unfolds the strange saga of his journey from “Pedro No. 5” to reigning champion in a burrito-fueled contest at a Lower East Side Mexican spot, snagging $50 and a year’s free burritos. Who knew the stars aligned just right for this perfectly timed Pascal parody? Talk about luck and lunar influence mixing with a side of salsa… LEARN MORE

“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.
