One of the funniest moments from Sunday night’s 86th Academy Awards was when Ellen DeGeneres and a Los Angeles pizza delivery man walked through the crowd of the star-studded Dolby Theatre to hand out pizza to hungry A-list actors.
Later during the show Ellen walked through the crowd again, with Pharrell’s famed “Smokey The Bear” hat, to collect money and tips for the driver. Harvey Weinstein pitched in $200 while the rest of the crowd is said to have donated an additional $100.
Here’s the kicker, the delivery guy never saw a penny, according to TMZ. The LA-based gossip site caught up with Edgar, the world’s most famous pizza delivery man, at Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizza to ask him about his experience at the Oscars. When Edgar learned that he missed out on a fat tap, the disappointed pizza man just shrugged off the photog and walked into the pizza store.
Let this be a lesson to all of you delivery drivers out there. If you have the chance to deliver food to an “Oscar-worthy” event, be sure to not leave until you get paid!
Now comes the question….who has all the tip money? Hopefully, Ellen will hand it to Edgar on her show!
