- Ernie shows off The Sunbum, all 40-feet of it, from front to back. It's a customized Prevost Bus with every comfort of home, including a marble staircase at the entryway. The banks of lights, gauges and video monitor resemble the captain's deck on Star Trek. Customized in southwest style, The Sunbum has leather couches, a full-sized refrigerator, and a Tiffany-like lamp. The bathroom shower has frosted glass with the initials "T, E, and you know the rest!" Hint: Tova is Ernie's wife.
This was published about 6 months before his death. Ernie was a great guy and a great character actor. They just don't make them like Ernie any more. RIP Old Friend!
You can tell that Ernie loved his bus.And he does like to travel. He was such a nice man.R.I.P Ernest Borgnine you are missed.
"And around the back here is where I store the extra 50 pounds of badass that I'm a bit too old to carry round these days." Navy vet, Oscar winner, beloved movie legend. RIP EB
He's definitely one of my favorite actors.
I remember meeting Mr. Borgnine back around 1976 when I was a kid. He was in Playa del Rey, CA filming Future Cop. There were a bunch of kids wanting his autograph. I came up and asked, "May I please have your autograph?" Mr. Borgnine looked at me with a big smile and said, "That's the way to do it!" He right away signed an autograph for me. I've never forgotten how kind he was.
Well, he is on heaven now.
I grew up in Playa Del Rey in the 60's and 70's. My God father looked so much like Earnest and every time I saw him on tv he reminded me of him.
Xxx,
He was the real deal
That's the kind of human you want to know
Nice guy. Down to earth. Definitely not the Hollywood type. He stopped by our campground in Pennsylvania years ago. Just a regular guy enjoying life. RIP.
You done him wrong in Jubal though.
Ernest borgnine one of life's true gentlemen.
Sad when our old favorites pass away. It's like family or an Era passing by.
Most "Hollywood" people aren't "the Hollywood type" in actuality. They're regular people.
@🌴ViceGuy Guess.
Wow, what a genuinely kind and wonderful human being. The greatest generation!
The greatest generation spokesman. Just as cool as my gramps, loved his RV too 🇺🇸
Absolutely!!! 💜👍🏼
GW you are correct Sir, he is from the greatest generation. Much respect!
Lliiuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyttt ñu lott y
What a great guy. I knew he was a great actor, but it’s lovely to see he was such a regular good guy. I’m glad he seemed to be a happy and fulfilled chap, with a good family life.
R.I.P. Ernie. the world is not the same without you a great patriot 🇺🇸one of the best actor's to live. thanks for sharing 👍
There will never be another Earnest Borgnine. Arrivederci Ernesto
Yep
10-4 good buddy
Bloody Oath
Ernie looked great for 95. He was certainly proud of his vehicle, i am glad he enjoyed it to the very end. He was a wonderful actor and was in many classic motion pictures.
95?
@ronnie doorzon Yes he lived to be 95, but this documentary wasnt made in 2012, look at the clothing and the trucks, what an amazing guy, in 2012 the year he died he voiced a character in the Lion of Judah
At the end of the full doc. it says 1997, so he was 80 here:)
@@MrTruth111 This video is part of the documentary "Ernest Borgnine on the Bus" which was recorded in 1996. He was 79 years old.
If anyone would just bother to read the "About" page you'd know this was filmed in 1995 -- not 1996 or 1997.
Awesome. My grandfather told me stories about hanging out with ernest in the 40,s when he was in the service and would get leave, he said ernest was one of the most down home people he ever met and that he never got angry about being approached by fans. Truly a lost breed , if everyone was like ernest the world would be a much better place, r.i.p.sir, salute 🇱🇷👨✈️
I agree with this 500% I wish there was more people in this world like
Mr Borgnine was he was truly a great guy & may he RIP now & at least
now he's up in Heaven with String & the Lady flying around in Heaven,
I hope when my time comes to leave this world, I hope I can get to meet
Mr Ernest Borgnine & Jan M. Micheal & most of all I would especially love
to meet the Lady Airwolf. RIP the Lady Airwolf.
Always liked him, he reminds me a lot of my father both physical and mentally..
I worked for the company that made his coach and had the pleasure of meeting him! What a nice gentleman he was!
I loved Ernie since I was a kid. I was devastated when he passed. Actors today aren’t made like this anymore. RIP.
This was filmed in 1995!
Actors today like George looney couldnot hold a candle to a class act like Ernest,
Wind on cameras?

*Many Different Things:* He wasn't 95 in this video, according to *RealFarknMcCoy,* above - he was only 78!
Rest in peace Ernest Borgnine. You are truly missed.
Ernest Borgnine was a tremendously talented actor who is sadly missed after his passing. I loved him in everything he was in, whether television or film. Today’s actors have nothing on him. Ernest outclassed and out acted them all.
If you ever want to give someone an example of the epitome of a grounded, feet on floor performer, look no further. He was great and this vid just shows the true warmth of the guy. RIP Fella.
I cherish my memories of knowing Ernie and of traveling with him. Such a fun, upbeat guy. He was always so kind to me and to everyone
You should recount some of your memories here for all of us to enjoy. I know I would enjoy reading them.
Who the hell are you and what memories are those?
I remember seeing a show where he was being pranked and he arrived home to find his house wrapped in a huge fumigation tent. He enquired politely what was going on and was told his house was infested with an insect that had to be eradicated before it spread in the US. He then asked how long before he could get back inside his home and was told a few days. Instead of going into" the don't you know who I am" or having a tantrum he simply said I suppose we can go and stay in a hotel for a few days. It was a show that preyed on people acting badly in a stressful situation, it flopped with Ernie as he was so polite, and understanding and remained calm and reasonable the whole time.
Y
Yes I have seen Ernie in so may movies ,acting the bad guy it would be strange to me to see him calm. I would be disappointed not seeing him turn that character of the wild guy . ( Like his part in " Bad Day at Black Rock")
Ernest
Thank You
This is the best piece of information which I can use in my feature talks in the church about being a nice human being and a gentleman. Thanks brother. Salisbury Park ,Pune.
I saw that, too.
I believe it was "Celebrity Bloopers and Practical Jokes" with Dick Clark and Ed McMahon.
I could be wrong, though.
That mans laugh was his career. You always knew when he was on TV or in a movie. What a great fellow he was.
He played so many memorable roles. A treasure.
Ernie's always been one of my favorite actors... in his best role of all time: a truly friendly, 'next-door-neighbor' type of guy!
exactly he was one of mine favorite actors too for the very reasons you eluciatted
i remember way back watching an art movie about 911- it was film made from segments about people experiencing 911 when his episode came on i remember being suprised that he was still alive-that was around 2005 or so- then i cried because his performance was so touching
Just a regular guy that made a few bucks in the entertainment industry. No fakeness or BS. It's wonderful to see how welcoming and down to earth he was. God Bless.
Genuine human being!!! We could all learn from him. The best actor in Hollywood! Thank you Ernest B.!!!
I was obsessed with The Poseidon Adventure when I was a kid in the 70's. Saw it in the theater a few times.
It was so sad when Shelley Winters died.
Me too
You ought to see his movie with Kirk Douglas where he played a Sheriff.
@@justinthyme7275 9
It's called a speedometer.
Great guy. I miss him. One of the few actors who could play funny or dark characters and both convincingly.
How many famous people would be so open and friendly...? Not many I bet. Nice guy.
Ernest has always appeared to me as a good guy. In the few interviews he's done and one the silver screen. Not the typical Hollywood snob. Like Tom Selleck. They should happen to be actors and in show biz. :) Plus Ernest and his wife have to mix with "regular folk" driving across the country. Wouldn't be doing this if they weren't comfortable or Hollywood snobs.
as i said in another reply here, another celeb. my gordon lightfoot, i met three times after concerts here in knox tn. hje remembgered me asked about how my father was doing, etc, one im surprised he rememebred me, and 2 remembered the conversation we had after the first time i met him after a show almost 7 years previously. people like this were cut from a differnet cloth than many others were
So sincere. A true gentleman. R I P Ernie.
Really a big star but so humble and normal . I’ll bet he was so much fun to travel with . R.I.P. Mermaid Man . We love you.
He seemed to be such a nice man. Really a class act.
a down to earth guy & first class actor.
He is also a veteran of the US Navy-a Tin Can Sailor. As am I.
BWAHAHAHAHA. Down to earth guys dont own a custom built bus. They own a car or pickup.
He was a nice guy, yes down to earth. Who cares if his RV had marble & leather. God bless him, he could afford it. I met him at the Harvey Awards in Indiana Pa about 15 years ago.
@Josh - I see no reason why he might not have been a nice guy. I worked in the audio and video recording industry. Ive worked with many more famous musicians and actors than most people. Many of them are nice. None of them were down to earth. They have no idea what life is like for the little guy. They only know they would pay any price to have to avoid returning to living an ordinary middle class life.
John Parker he was a veteran meaning he probably worked pretty hard in his old days. With that I think it’s safe to assume that he knows what it’s like to put hard work in and understands both worlds. In general I’d say he’s probably the one of the most down to earth guys I’ve ever seen.
I've liked this guy ever since McHales navy first came out.
from here to eternity was a good one too
and airwolf too
Me too. Watched that show 6:00 am in the morning, before I go to school.
You must see Marty. Beautiful movie.
I looked forward to watch6that show!
Mr. Borgnine was 80 years old when he filmed this.
He was pretty robust for an 80 year old. Good genes, lived to 95.
He also road horses like he was doing the wild bunch movie again. Icon.
He passed away on July 8th, 2012 at age 95. Not sure when this video was shot but it says January 21, 2012. Like to think he was driving his rig at 95! RIP
@@jeffg8482 no way this video was shot in 2012. This is for sure the early to mid 90's going by the vehicles.
@@gradyeilers7533 Good point and I did say I was "not sure when this video was shot",just what it stated. Thank you and excellent observation!
One of the most talented actors, ever, and a truly remarkable human being. Rest in God’s eternal peace, Mr. Borgnine.
Met him mid 90s, talked for quite a bit. He was exactly the nice guy you think he was.
My wife & I met him in the General Jackson Showboat in Nashville, TN. He was with George Lindsey(Goober), they both were very kind & down to earth. I know it must be hard to be famous like that & go out somewhere always knowing that people will notice you & want an autograph or a picture with you. I just told them both thanks & shook their hands. Really enjoyed this video. Just nice to see them both doing well back then. Nowadays so many stars seem to be out of touch with the world around them.
I had the pleasure of meeting him several times in North Hollywood, Calif. at a little screen shop where I worked for 5 yrs with window screens..we did screens for his home off mullholland Drive, and yes he was a great friendly Guy I really enjoyed seeing him each time,he would sit on the work table and talk while waiting for the boss lady to return from the market or from the library so he could chat with her about his screen project..Great guy, treated you like he had known you all his life, he will be missed, I met him in 1981-1984
Seems like a nice guy. Great way to spend your senior years traveling around the country.
Ernest Borgnine lived to be 95! Amazing!
Yep
Rip
God bless him!
and he was acting, albeit occassionally, almost to the very end
he was boozin at 91 in Manhattan
Sweet guy. Really like his style for the bus. No pretense or guile just plain Earnestness and hospitality. RIP I think he would've been a good replacement for Charles Kuralt's On the Road.
He really had wonderful genes and probably lived pretty clean to be in his 90s there...Hardy Northern/Central Italian Toscano pedigree.
R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine, Yesterday Sept 6th, 2018 another favorite actor of mine passed Mr. Burt Reynolds. Thanks for posting this video a thousand THUMBS up!!.
I met him once for a minute about 30years ago. I was a medical courrier and was picking up samples from a med office building in Tarzana and he was walking down the hall holding his arm like he just had blood taken, fake boxing. So I said jokingly, hey bud, ya wanna go a few rounds? He Growled sure, and when he looked up I, immediately recognized him. I just said ohhh Ernest borgnine! He said how ya doing.... Lasted 20 seconds......I was always a fan, since the 1960s. he lived a good long life, was a great actor. wasn't he 95? Some of his great roles, poseidon adventure, Willard, dirty dozen and this rare gem, emporor of the north pole
I grew up watching this guy...i miss this generation...as a boy they made me feel safe and strong
Earnest was always a Class Act and Real.
Dang , I wish I would have met him.
Yep
10-4 good buddy remember keep on trucking and keep the rubber side truck driver 10-4
One of my all time favorite actors, and all around awesome man.R.I.P. Ernie, the likes of you will never pass this way again.👏👏👏👏
This is a great video. What a classy guy. Ernest was a part of my childhood back in the 1960s. My dad, being a WWII vet, was a big McHale's Navy fan.
What a handsome man...RIP Ernie....love all your movies and your genuine smile
Truly one of the greats, he brought joy and real entertainment to so many. Rest in Peace, now your travels will take you anywhere your heart desires.
Just remember, " Ah, here comes Binghamton, act normal and don't say anything. I'll do the talking".
Breathing hard but lived another 17 years - RIP
Over the years I have had a growing appreciation of Ernest Borgnine. I loved his small role in R.E.D. Great guy!
I recall when he was on TCM being interviewed by Robert Osbourne. He was so open,engaging,with a great memory and told some really interesting stories. One of a kind for sure. He never retired and seemed to be always busy. RiP
Damn, Ernie. Just happened upon this video and it was bittersweet. It's good to see you again but reminds me of all our friends who are gone now. I wish I'd known the last time we saw each other was going to be the last time we saw each other. You are missed.
Ernie was one of the very very few Hollywood actors I'd of loved to have met. Great guy. May he rest in peace.
IKR??He had the look of a man who had a great love of life.
I met him and his wife. He really was a great guy. I'm not just saying that. He would talk to me as long as I wanted to.
@Ilich Ramirez Sanchez You mean "I'm a douche" don't you?

@@HughJass1971 yeah I hear he really had a thing for Hugh Jass'.
Every time I hear that theme song to McHale's Navy it reminds me of being in bed as a kid. We were sent to bed at 8 pm back in the day and my dad would have that show on as I listened to that tune in the darkness of my room coming out of the living room down the hall. Dad lived to be 85 and died in 2014
I sure do miss him. We don't have many Hollywood types like him anymore.
RIP Ernie.
A true gentleman.
Regards.

Great man great father, great friend and most of all great actor watched his shows and movies, a real American Hero. Rest in peace sir you are missed always. It would have been an honor to meet you. SJ
I liked Ernie since in the 50's when I was a young man. The movies that I saw, impressed me as his personality came through and he was indeed of good personality and character. Memories of a great actor and a friendly nice fellow.
I love that Mr. Borgnine takes such pride in his RV.......Safe Travels Ernie. Thanks for all the years you provided our entertainment.
Biggest star in the world, and he is out there on his own, on the road, just doing it by himself. No driver, no retinue, just him. He had to be competent to drive that thing, and the little touches - like putting the mats down on the marble so as not to wear them down - are classic practical stuff. Very cool video.
Pretty sure the marble was in NO danger of being "worn down".
RealFark: Not that you know anything about marble, since you lost whatever you had years ago.
The loose carpet pieces were like mats to catch the dirt before taking it in on the good carpets.
Regardless of how many marbles I have, stepping on marble steps takes CENTURIES to wear them down.
He probably can't afford a driver anymore. Sad.
Absolutely loved this man. Great actor. So down to earth and kind. They don't make them like him anymore. Ernie you are missed by me and my family so very much. RIP. Thanks for posting this.
A real joy to watch.
Best Actor for Borgnine and Best Picture 'Marty' in 1955. An American masterpiece and a treasured jewel of a film. Not to be missed.
My sister served him many yrs ago in an LA restaurant...She said he was such a nice guy and easy going...I still miss him a lot
Hahahaha, Michael Rod. you really suck.
nothing like seeing his toilet now in the video too...lol
How could you possibly "miss him a lot" when you never even met the man?
She meant missed him a lot while passing by in the sunbum...duhhh
@Heidi Yodel .lol..
I was on cape cod when I saw this big guy getting gas on rt 6A/rt134 I went over and said hi he was very nice
Ernie was such a beautiful soul, and wonderful man. The world was a better place with him in it. Rest in peace.
One of the last truly real Hollywood legends, I'm happy I grew up watching many of his movies, and knew about him.
Great actor in the movie, Martie! In which he earned an Oscar for best actor , great movie!
Sure was great in the poseidon adventure too..mr rogo...awesome performance
I remember that movie ❤️he was such a genuine guy, evan when acting 🎭 I love this guy
Marti 🎭🎭🎭
Loved Ernie too!! You could hear the labored breathing
Always loved him 😊
Rest In Peace , dear man ♥️♥️♥️
God Bless Ernie.
Thank you ernest for all the great movies.
i met him in alaska when he was on vacation at the bird cage or bird nest bar the bar was slanted from the earthquake yrs ago we took a picture together what a great guy
Oh my god . Lucky you .. It's impossible for me now ..I always wanna meet him
Me and 2 of my friends stopped at that bar back in '78-79 when we were stationed at Elmendorf after a day of fishing. There was a French horn kind of looking thing by a window and friends told me that if you blew it, quail would come out for a free handout. I blew the horn....getting a face full of sawdust! Yeah, it was a gag the owner has played or seen played on more than one visitor.
Fellow Air Force Veteran " Happy Veterans Day ! & Thank You for your Service as well !
Most young people couldn't say anything about the older actors, just as I couldn't tell you who these young actors are. But, in my generation they were loved & admired and will be remembered forever...
Ernest Borgnine was not just a great actor; he was a wonderful & humble human being. :)
Last of the great actors. Love Ernest. Poseidon Adventure, great movie. We need to see more of him
Tim Fowler you could always know that if he was in a movie.... It would be a great one to see
Loved him in the Devil's Rain with William Shatner, Tom Skeritt and John Travolta.
We will always remember you Mr Borgnine and the joy you brought to us whilst growing up. There will never be another actor like you as you are the best and very much truly missed. RIP Ernest.
I loved him and Tim Conway in McHales Navy TV show!
WD - I JUST got a look at this and ALL I can hear over his very familiar voice was the McHale's Navy theme song, playing over and over again.......
A wonderful man that we all miss.
what a HOOT! Could you imagine, you're just tooling along any ol highway in the US, and along comes this customized bus.. the SUNBUM, and you look up and there's Ernest Borgnine driving! I would have freaked out and probably run my car off the road LOL!!! what an awesome video!!!
Man l wish l would have run into him, he was one of my favorite actors. I loved McHale's Navy with Tim Conway and the gang!
He was also in the U.S. Navy for ten years!
Tom is gone now too. Sad May they Rest in Peace!
Tim Not Tom, my mistake.
Joe Flynn was the star, Tim Conway was the second star, but EB was the perfect straight man, the glue who held the ship together, not forgetting Bob Hastings (Carpy), the sychophant of all sycophants,..great casting.
What a great guy.I miss Ernie.
Yep
10-4
I recently saw him in the movie, "The Ghost of Flight 401." I also saw it when it first came out in the 70's I believe. Great movie. Great actor! R.I.P.
Kept waiting for Ernest to turn to the cameraman and say, " you've got a job to do mister, now move it!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I'M AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE IN MY FIFTIES AND LOVED SEEING YOU WITH YOUR DAD ON THIS ROAD TRIP. MY DAD DIED SUDDENLY OF AN ANUERYISM AT AGE 43, WHEN I HAD JUST STARTED COLLEGE. I WISH I HAD THE YEARS TO DO A TRIP LIKE THIS. YOU ARE BLESSED WITH GOOD MEMORIES DOING THIS, AS AN ACTOR HE WAS PROBABLY AWAY ON LOCATION IN YOUR YOUTH. THIS WAS SO SWEET WATCHING THE CLIPS, I TEARED UP. BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS.
You may want to consider taking the caps lock off when you are typing your comment. Having your caps on indicates you are yelling or shouting. I'm sure that's not what you meant to do.
What does being black (oh sorry, "African-American) have to do with your post?
I'll let you in on a little secret S C...….no one cares what color or gender you are....only that your a human being with a big heart!
No, I understand why she wanted to say she was black. Her comment reflects well on other blacks in a time when people get mixed messages from the MSM. It gave me food for thought, that's a good thing for people to have.
exactly. afro-american , or female or whatever is irrelevant. just being human works :) but ty sc for the posting
See gang? Not so long ago, celebrities were just regular people... Unlike today. Sad.... R.I.P., Ernie.
I was thinking the same thing. How did we go from this great guy and WWII veteran to the self-absorbed creeps we have in Hollyweird today?

@@JosephGibson Not leftism, that's a cop out. You are sounding like Captain Binghamton looking for a scapegoat. The powerful have gotten more powerful, the super rich have gotten ever richer. Mediocrity is rife in the arts and entertainment industries,... having the right look is more important than substance. If Mchale's Navy had never been and turned up tomorrow for the first time on your TV, the character of McHale would look nothing like EB. The lead would more likely have chiselled facial features and a buffed body because that look is perceived as generating dollars. Superficiality is the order of the day in 2020,...stay safe!
you probably don't know any celebrities
One of the greatest underrated actors of our time...genuine talent...loved his portrayal in 'Marty'....Rest in Peace , Ernie
6:02 that's the signature Ernest Borgenine laugh and you got it at no charge!
My uncle got to meet Ernie back in the early 80's,my uncle owned a optical eyecare center in Soldotna , Alaska.When Ernie was in Alaska on a fishing trip in Soldotna he stopped in my uncle eyecare center to have his glasses repaired.I was a teenager then i thought it was cool he got to meet Ernie.
