The Dancing "Joey Bag O Donuts" WLUP Commercial

Who remembers "Joey Bag O Donuts?" He became famous around Chicagoland for being the chubby guy dancing in a series of WLUP-FM TV commercials. (He also became well known in other cities, as the advertising agency & production company who made this commercial, syndicated it out to over 80 other markets in the US & Canada, with different radio station logos coming on at the end.) I recall being at a bar on the south side of Chicago in the early 90's where this local "celebrity" was doing an appearance and handing out Xeroxed autographed caricatures of himself, trying to capitalize on his 15 minutes of fame. "Joey's" real name is Eustachio Robert Marena, an actor who never achieved any fame higher than being that "dancing fat guy" on those commercials. Here is one of the original commercials that featured "Joey Bag O Donuts" entitled "Cuz."
