I thought it was interesting how Jim did anti-smoking ads and he smoked himself
Thank you for this video
speaking for myself and other 41 year olds: he was part of my childhood and will never be forgotten.
I won't forget his zany Saturday morning show!
Jim Varney might be dead, but Ernest P. Worrell lives forever!

Jim Varney's unique comedic style brought laughs across all age groups. Very sad fate...Thanks Steve.

[@thunderousapplause]

I wondered about him over the years, but never googled. I thought he was hilarious. And I loved it that he was a Shakespearean actor. Comedy is hard. Studying the classics makes you better.

I never heard a bad word about Jim Varney. It's a shame that we lost him so young.

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Jeff clampett said Weee doggies. I have Ernest scared stupid on DVD and my Uncles turned me onto Hey Vern, its Ernest on Saturday morning cartoons. Man, I miss him and I didn't know that he passed away until 7 YEARS AGO and wondered what happened to him all these YEARS. I can tell that he was a really good guy especially how I would hear stories about his skits at the Atlanta braves games 35 YEARS AGO. Rest in Peace, Jim Varney.....🙏🕊️

[@sallykohorst8803]

Very nice telling of his life. I remember his commercials alot and his movies as Ernest T.

[@frschoonover1]

He also was in a short lived Saturday morning children's TV series called "Hey Vern, it's Ernest" that was shown on the CBS TV network in the Fall of 1988, and later rerun on The Family Channel during the early 1990's. He also appeared in a syndicated TV special "Hey Vern, it's My Family Album" during the time he did the commercials. He was very versatile.
By the way, Jed Clampett said "Whew (pronounced woo) Doggies!" on The Beverly Hillbillies during it's nine season run on CBS. The film version of the TV series was pretty good. The film featured a Buddy Ebsen cameo as his later CBS TV show character "Barnaby Jones".

[@timepoet77]

His Shakespeare performances are truly amazing.

[@chrisfitzgerald3734]

We just loved this gifted actor. When he passed we were so sad. Rest in peace. Sir you brought such joy to our hearts!

[@laurafloyd6554]

I loved him! Thank you for sharing!

[@erikcox8749]

Man i remember seeing him in the commercials yelling at "Vern" as a kid 😂 so hilarious.

[@dantrejo3513]

I loved that “ Hey Vern “ …

Rod Serling also died at age 50 in 1975. Not from cancer, but as a result of years of heavy smoking.

Hi Steve . Thanks for creating and sharing this great Video . I hope you're doing well and staying safe . 😃

[@TIGSHAD]

I think it's "Weeeeeeell doggie" ? He never quite rolls the L out.

[@stevengabbard930]

Jim also did a couple of seasons of theater at The Pioneer Playhouse in Danville KY. Colonel Henson said he was one of the most talented actors he ever worked with. It's a shame he got stereotyped as a country rube. He could do just about anything. But didn't get nationally recognized for it.

Thanks Steve.

[@brigcastle]

"Weeeee'yel doggie!"

[@itowmyhome797]

[@marlenepearson3936]

I really enjoyed Jim Varney. Very funny 😁 Died at only 50 😢Too young.
I always thought Jed said Well doggies. Only he drug out the well. 🤔

[@user-nf7zn5xf1h]

Love Jim really made me laugh

[@jedidrummerjake]

Jim sure was funny. The Saturday morning kids show he did had adult innuendos in it.

[@deepcow]

Wow, I knew he passed, but I didn’t know he was only 50 years old.

[@thunderousapplause]

Jed said, "hooo, doggies"..,oh my, no he didnt!

[@SMtWalkerS]

My family and I watch "Scared Stupid" around Halloween each year. Ernest- Jim was very funny. Who was Vern, I wonder? I'd say Jed Clampett said "Weeeeeeellll - doggies!"

[@jolenehendrickson8915]

He was funny

[@BBJohnny52]

Remember "hey Vern"?😂😂

[@Cindy-xk5vm]

oh man, only 50

[@twistoffate4791]

I know. I didn't realize he was that young when he passed. He seemed ancient to me during his last couple movies, and now I know how young he really was.
