    RIP Jim Varney.

    The scariest one was Earnest goes to Neverland.

    Who the hell was Vern anyway? Did they ever even show the guy? I always thought he was that crazy little old guy, but I watched one the other day and found out there was no Vern.

    hahaha, I dont think they ever showed Vern, but he was somehow Ernest's favorite person, but he caused him alot of trouble.

    Varney launched that character doing commercials for a regional dairy company here in North Carolina. They were a big hit and he got a nice career going; he even got to play Jed Clampett on the big screen. Too bad he die so prematurely... :(

    Dude smoked since he was ten years old. I saw a TV special on him one time...He was actually a Shakespearean trained actor, but got stuck in that Ernest role...

    His best work by FAR, though, was as the Carnie in the Simpsons...

    I didn't know he was dead...I saw a special, I think last night, but said he was stuck with Ernest so long, that he had trouble getting type casted...

    I didn't know he was the dog Slink in the Toy Story movies...
