Damn! People will interrupt anything! Comedian Eddie Griffin was working it out at a comedy club in Agoura Hills, Calif. last night, when a process server dumped a little present for him on the stage.
The Undercover Brother handled his business, though, despite being served with legal docs. He even incorporated the new "material" into his act. No joke!
As TMZ first reported, a production manager on one of Griffin's shows sued after an alleged racially-charged ass-whoopin'.

That pinhead just doesn't handle his alcohol and cocaine very well.

I know NOTHING about this guy, he could be a real jerk, but it seems to me they could've waited until he got off the stage rather than humiliating him in front of an audience.

I'm knida surprised that some cable network like TruTV or some TV producer has hatched the idea on doing a TV series about process servers. Kinda interesting, don't you think?

They didnt wait to serve him until the show ended because it wouldnt be on camera! Now with the way he did it, there is no doubt this man was served legal docs.
The court officer probably wouldnt be able to get near him after the show anyway, especially if EG is expecting to be served...

What if the person does not accept the papers?
In most cases they do not have to accept service in order for it to be considered effective. If the defendant comes to the door but refuses the papers, the process server may just have to leave them at their feet and walk away. In some states proper service has been perfected if the person admits to being the defendant and/or they actually touch or are touched with the papers. Please refer to the service of process laws in your state.

whoever TMZ recently hired to censor the
submitted comments NEEDS to be released.

Since the article states that he was served in California, it's NOT necessary to touch the papers to be legally served. He's just a dummy.

I think the papers do not necessarily have to be touched. They just need to be acknowledged in some way. EG referenced the legal case, so he knows what it was. He has no excuse now, especially since its on camera.
Plus, the guy who served the papers probably gets paid per summons. So why should he wait and hour for the show to be over when he could just get it done quicker? Im sure this dude didn't want to sit through anymore of that garbage! I could just imagine who opened for him...

Aguora Hills? Where is that?
Maybe near Agoura Hills? Again ... do you TMZ staffers even have a spellcheck function on your computers? I already know you don't have any professional editors, but at least you could add a list of place names to your spellcheck's dictionary so you could spell them right. Ya think?
