 | | Comedian Avery Schreiber dead of heart attack LOS ANGELES, California (AP) --Comedian Avery Schreiber, who with his partner Jack Burns was a fixture on television in the 1960s and '70s, died Monday of a heart attack. |
 | | Among Burns and Schreiber's works was the album "The Watergate Comedy Hour." After the duo went their separate ways, Schreiber became a popular fixture in Doritos commercials, appearing as a chef, sultan, judge, pilot or other character who would be distracted by people crunching on the chips. |
 | | Schreiber also appeared on stage in productions of "Hamlet," "Showboat," "Fiddler on the Roof," and "Ovid's Metamorphoses." His last stage appearance was on Broadway in "Welcome to the Club," a 1989 Cy Coleman musical about divorced men who refuse to pay alimony. |
