George Gountas, a New York City father and lighting designer for 'The Daily Show', participated in a Pedro Pascal look-alike contest after encouragement from his wife, ultimately winning the title and a prize of $50 plus a year's supply of burritos. Initially hesitant, Gountas showcased his resemblance to Pascal and received support from neighbors. He now embraces the attention, despite mixed reactions from his family about his new look, which he plans to keep for a while. Gountas also enjoyed treating his family with the prize money.
Gountas said he initially learned about the contest through a group text from Tyler, a stage manager at 'The Daily Show,' but didn't immediately commit to participating.
The father of two daughters said he plans to maintain his Pascal-inspired look for now, despite some family resistance.
