JoBe Cerny, Voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy, Passes Away at 78

JoBe Cerny passed away on October 30 in Illinois at the age of 78, according to his son Tim Cerny and reports by TMZ. Cerny had suffered from a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, leading him to step away from his role as the Pillsbury Doughboy around 2020 as his health declined. Throughout a career spanning more than five decades, Cerny worked in film, television, commercials, and voice acting, including roles in My Best Friend's Wedding and Legally Blonde 2. However, he became widely recognized by generations of viewers for bringing the cheerful baking mascot Poppin' Fresh to life with his signature giggle.
