The incident saw Gountas awarded $50 and a year’s worth of free burritos from the eatery and was reportedly promoted on the restaurant’s social media page. Gountas, a father of two, lives in Brooklyn and explained that seeing the event flyer made his family and co-workers push him to join the fun.
Support Of Friends And Family
A man named Tyler, who was a stage manager, told Gountas about the contest, he shared. His wife immediately signed him up, and even their neighbor, a stylist and art director, offered him some finishing touches. Gountas brought his wife and kids with him to the event, which he deemed “unbelievable” with so many people around and a good vibe.
His fellow correspondents on “The Daily Show” were ecstatic about his win. “Everyone’s super supportive,” he said, and the whole experience is “pretty insane.”
Celebrity Doppelganger ContestsSoars to the head.

Some of these doppelgängers have even scored brand partnerships and media hits. As of Monday afternoon, Pedro Pascal had not publicly weighed in on the Brooklyn contest — but the Internet’s favorite “daddy” does tend to be a bit elusive, and post-Father’s Day, the beloved “daddy” of the web might be taking some deserved time off.
