Today we visit an ol' buddy from my childhood. The world knew him as Ernest P. Worrell, but there is so much more the world did not know about Jim Varney. I believe we only got to see only a little bit of his talent, since he was taken way too soon from us.

I do recommend picking up a copy of The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Jim Varney by Justin Lloyd if you want to know more about the man behind Ernest.
