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.”
