This Pedro Pascal lookalike winner was already good but the back story of how he did it is just brilliant
We don’t want to stick our neck out too far or anything but this might just be today’s loveliest thing.
It’s the tale of a Pedro Pascal lookalike winner which was already good, but the back story of how (and why) he did it is a proper belter.
Take 5 minutes out to watch it because you want to be disappointed, from Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show for reasons which will rapidly become apparent.
The winner of the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest is also The Daily Show's lighting designer, George Gountas! #AfterTheCut pic.twitter.com/PTrVURVnLS

Absolutely cannot wait for the follow-up now. No way Pedro Pascal’s not gonna make that happen, right?
In the meantime, here are just a few of the many comments it prompted.

He’s got the mannerisms down! If that’s not him trying to do that, it’s even more eerie

Unironically I also love how this is highlighting the “behind the scenes” work of people who work in this industry
