how will we know when to make the donuts anymore?

Yep, the donut man, Michael Vale, died at 83. Now, I'm guessing, but I'm guessing Vale probably made over a couple million on those "time to make the donuts" spots. Vale joins the ranks of the where's the beef Wendy's lady and the Verizon and Sprint guys in the pantheon of advertizing gazillionaire actors. In Vale's defense, he did so without being totally irritating.
