Pedro Pascal look-alike's wife demands to meet the real actor after he wins contest
The Pedro Pascal look-alike winner has a plea for the real Pedro Pascal.
Brooklyn dad George Gountas appeared on Tuesday's episode of 'The Daily Show,' where he works as a lighting designer, and spoke to host Jon Stewart about his big victory at the look-alike contest — including his wife Jenny Gania's reaction.
'Her position is, 'I'm cool with you getting all this attention, if I can meet Pedro Pascal,'' Gountas, 42, said.

Gountas then looked directly at the camera and delivered a message to the 'Last Of Us' actor.
'Hey Pedro, this is Pedro #5 from New York,' Gountas said. '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.'
As the audience cheered, Stewart told Gountas, 'I don't see how Pedro #1 could turn down Pedro #5.'

Gountas' wife told The Post that he was first told about his resemblance to Pascal when 'Game of Thrones' came out. Pascal portrayed Oberyn Martell in the hit HBO series.
'Then some kids started noting it, too, so I was like, when we saw this [contest], I was like, 'It's Father's Day. You have to go. It's going to be your Father's Day treat,'' Gania recalled to The Post.
'It's funny,' she added, 'because he's not on social media at all. But now he's going to be everywhere.'

On 'The Daily Show,' Gountas said he didn't expect to win the contest when he arrived without even having reserved a spot.
'I rolled up and I'm like, 'Yo, I'm here,'' he told Stewart. 'And they were like, 'You're going to win.''

The Greenpoint resident also said that the attention he's gotten from winning the contest has been 'f—ing insane.'
'So, none of this bothers me,' Gountas added. 'I've been in the industry for many years. I've been around famous people.'
'But the thing that I was most, not scared of, the most uneasy about, was coming here today,' he admitted to Stewart, who said the staff of the Comedy Central show have been 'going bananas' about the contest.

How influencer marketing lost its edge
Scroll through a TikTok feed, and you'll eventually come across someone—usually incredibly photogenic, with perfect teeth and flawless skin—extolling the virtues of some product or another, or a restaurant, or a destination. And then another. And another. Influencer marketing is an unintended consequence of the social media revolution. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok allowed ordinary people to build followings—and, in a way, become celebrities. Brands and businesses soon latched onto these influencers, leveraging the trust they had with their audiences to advertise products. Mia Maples and Linus Sebastian are the Serena Williams and George Foreman of the digital age: celebrities who can raise a company's profile with a single post, lending credibility to products with a young, energetic audience. Crucially, they allow marketers to reach consumers increasingly cynical toward traditional advertising, and even taking steps to shield themselves from it, whether by paying for ad-free subscriptions on YouTube and Spotify or using ad-blocking browser extensions. That is, at least, the argument on paper. In practice, things are murkier. Reasonable questions remain about whether influencer marketing is as effective as once thought, or whether it still works at all. What Even Is an Advertisement? To understand the challenges facing influencer marketing, we first need to define what constitutes an advert. An advert is, in essence, any material—written, spoken, or audiovisual—that attempts to sell a product or service to a third party. For brands, influencer marketing offers a way to connect with an elusive demographic. Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha don't read newspapers —and neither do many millennials—or consume much broadcast television or radio. They're tech-savvy, know how to block ads, and often pay to remove them from their services. These consumers, skeptical of legacy media, likely feel differently about their favorite creators. When those creators tout a product, it can convey a level of credibility. These influencer-brand tie-ins may not feel like ads, but they are, and that's the intent behind them. That is, at least, the theory. In practice, things work a little differently. Waning Influence Let me be clear: Influencer marketing still holds power, and value for brands. But its influence is often overstated, and we're now seeing diminishing returns. First, there's ' influencer fatigue.' Brand deals are so common that almost everyone knows when their favorite creator posts a new video, a good portion will promote a VPN provider, budget headphones, or some other product. These in-content ads are so ubiquitous (and often grating) that browser plug-ins now skip past them. SponsorBlock, for example, is the largest, with over two million Chrome users. Just as people might leave the room during TV commercials, they're now doing the same for online content. Similarly, on apps like TikTok and Instagram, the '#ad' hashtag (the telltale sign of an influencer deal) often prompts users to immediately scroll. This almost reflexive, negative response is called 'influencer fatigue,' fueled by the overwhelming wave of promotional content on social media—and a growing annoyance with influencers themselves. That's the thing: Influencers were once seen as a way to deliver advertising without it feeling like advertising. But over time—thanks to saturation—that's no longer true. A Matter of Trust There's also a growing trust gap between consumers and brands that lean heavily on influencers. Take PayPal-owned Honey, once promoted by some of YouTube's biggest creators. It was pitched as a free browser plug-in that scoured the web for discount codes. In reality, Honey—later described as a 'scam' —siphoned affiliate revenue from those it was otherwise owed to—including, ironically, the very creators who promoted it. It also manipulated which codes were shown, hiding the most valuable ones. Honey isn't alone. Other companies, like BetterHelp, also leaned on influencers, only to later land in controversy. These scandals chip away at the credibility of influencer marketing. They make consumers wary of creators promoting new products—especially when those creators, often small one-person teams, lack the resources to vet what they're endorsing. The result: a decline in trust for both influencers and brands. Evidence suggests this decline is real. A 2023 study from EnTribe found that just 12% of people are likely to buy products promoted by influencers—and 42% of those who did regretted it. Then there's the issue of attribution. If a million people watch a video, how many truly saw the promotion—and didn't skip it, either manually or via a plug-in? How do you measure impact, beyond simple conversions tied to affiliate codes—which fail to capture brand awareness or perception? Is Influencer Marketing Still the Future? That's the $33 billion question, isn't it? I still believe the influencer economy holds value. Without it, we'd still face the same challenge: reaching an audience increasingly elusive to traditional advertising. But as an industry, we need to recalibrate expectations and find more creative ways to reach younger consumers. Though younger audiences live much of their lives online, they don't exist entirely behind screens. They leave the house—and outdoor advertising should be part of the strategy. Podcasts. Streaming video. In-game advertising. And yes, even legacy media—when supported by the data—all have a role to play. There's room for influencer marketing, too. But it alone isn't enough. And likely never was.

Today in History: Father's Day celebrated in US for the first time
Today is Thursday, June 19, the 170th day of 2025. There are 195 days left in the year. This is Juneteenth. Today in history: On June 19, 1910, the first-ever Father's Day in the United States was celebrated in Spokane, Washington. (President Richard Nixon would make Father's Day a federally recognized annual observation through a proclamation in 1972.) Also on this date: In 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War was over and that all remaining enslaved people in Texas were free — an event now celebrated nationwide as Juneteenth. In 1953, Julius Rosenberg, 35, and his wife, Ethel, 37, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, were executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York; they were the first American civilians to be executed for espionage. In 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova completed her historic flight as the first woman in space, landing safely by parachute to conclude the Vostok 6 mission. In 1964, the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved by the U.S. Senate, 73-27, after surviving a lengthy filibuster. In 1986, University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias, the first draft pick of the Boston Celtics two days earlier, suffered a fatal cocaine-induced seizure. In 1975, former Chicago organized crime boss Sam Giancana was shot to death in the basement of his home in Oak Park, Illinois; the killing has never been solved. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Edwards v. Aguillard, struck down a Louisiana law requiring any public school teaching the theory of evolution to teach creation science as well. Today's Birthdays: Hall of Fame auto racer Shirley Muldowney is 85. Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is 80. Author Tobias Wolff is 80. Author Salman Rushdie is 78. Actor Phylicia Rashad is 77. Rock singer Ann Wilson (Heart) is 75. Actor Kathleen Turner is 71. Singer-choreographer-TV personality Paula Abdul is 63. TV host Lara Spencer is 56.

Bride Feels 'Disrespected' After Family Members Brought Fast Food to Her 'Elegant' Catered Wedding
A bride shared on Reddit that she and the groom planned an "elegant brunch reception" at a venue owned by a "renowned" chef to celebrate their wedding reception She said her uncle's family, seemingly not enticed by the catered spread, snuck in fried chicken from a fast food restaurant and ate it "openly" at one of the reception tables "I'm struggling with feeling like I was disrespected on a day that we put so much time, money, energy and thought into planning," the bride wroteA bride says she and the groom booked a venue owned by a "renowned" chef to host an "elegant brunch reception" to celebrate their wedding — only to have some of her family members sneak in their own fast food to eat. She shared her story in a post on Reddit's "Wedding Planning" forum, beginning by detailing how the couple "meticulously" planned "every single aspect" of their big day, including curating a brunch spread. "We hand-selected our menu items months in advance, including shrimp and grits, quiche, a biscuit bar with assorted jellies, sausage, and bacon, chicken and waffles, and much, much more," the bride wrote, noting that it cost "about $98 per person." While the couple was excited to treat their guests to an unforgettable meal, the bride's uncle and his family had other ideas. The family stopped at a fast-food restaurant on the way to the reception to get fried chicken to eat in the car. While she had no issue with this, it was what happened next that left her fuming. When the family arrived at the reception, her uncle's wife "took a look at all the food we had meticulously chosen to serve, and exited to the parking lot to retrieve the leftover fast food." According to the bride, the family then proceeded to eat the fried chicken "openly at one of our decorated round tables." "What makes it worse is they not only took pictures of themselves eating the fast food at the table (with the brand packaging all out in the open), but they have now posted those pictures on Facebook on two separate occasions," she noted. "The latest post was a Father's Day post, and one of our other family members made a comment, something to the effect of 'nothing classier than bringing (fast food) to a catered wedding!' And they LAUGHED at it!!!! Like it's a big joke," she continued. The bride said she and her mom were "hurt" by their family members' behavior — and she can't seem to get past it. "I'm struggling with feeling like I was disrespected on a day that we put so much time, money, energy and thought into planning, and every time they post about it just digs the knife in deeper," she explained. She concluded her post by asking fellow Reddit users whether she is overreacting or justified in being upset. In the comments section, many readers agreed with the bride that her family members were "rude" to bring fast food into the reception. But they also encouraged her to let it go and not allow the incident spoil the memories of her special day. "I wouldn't waste energy on it anymore. They were embarrassing themselves, and that menu sounds very agreeable so everyone else probably loved it," one person wrote.

Don't let their lack of decency linger in your mind longer than it deserves to." Some commenters even suggested that this will be something the couple will be able to laugh about one day and treat as a funny wedding anecdote. "Someday you and hubby will laugh about this together... and that day might come sooner than you think," one person wrote, adding, "Your wedding sounded absolutely gorgeous. Try to focus on the other 99% that was perfect, to help you move past this small blip." Read the original article on People
