BuzzFeed confirmed Chuck's middle name with CEC Entertainment, Inc. in an email.

No wonder he shortens it. That's quite the mouthful.

This also means that the company that owns Chuck E. Cheese, CEC Entertainment, Inc., literally stands for Charles Entertainment Cheese Entertainment, Inc.

So next time you see Chuck, be polite and call him by the name his sweet and probably very confused parents gave him: Charles Entertainment.

'Cause that's just good entertainment.
