Jon Stewarts interview with Pedro Pascal lookalike winner has an unexpected twist

Jon Stewart‘s interview with the winner of the recent Pedro Pascal lookalike contest in NYC isn’t like any regular interview, because it turns out the two already know each other — the contest winner, George Gountas, actually works on The Daily Show as a lighting designer.

In the clip above, Gountas describes how he came to be in the contest — someone at work told him about it, and then his wife encouraged him — before addressing Materialists star Pascal himself directly through the camera lens with a special request.

“Hey Pedro. This is Pedro #5 from New York. It would be a great, great, great gift if you could meet my wife Jenny. It would mean the world to her. We need to make this happen.”

Stewart’s response? “I don’t see how Pedro #1 could turn down Pedro #5.”
