    It's good to be Ellen DeGeneres's pizza delivery guy.

    The comedian, who soared even further into our hearts when she actually ordered pizza at the Oscars, invited the delivery guy on her Monday daytime talk show to figure out one remaining detail: his tip. During the Academy Awards broadcast, Ellen passed around Pharrell's park ranger hat to collect funds from the happy actors who indulged in some cheesy goodness, and called out Brad Pitt for only putting in $20.

    On Monday, DeGeneres presented Edgar with they money, plus some, resulting in a four-figure tip for delivering three large pizzas to Hollywood's most famous stars on the industry's most important night. Can we deliver pizza next year?
