- Jim Varney talks to the beautiful Joan Lunden about how the Ernest craze is sweeping the nation. You see him get to comment on one of his funniest commercials...the merry-go-round spot where he falls off and the camera comes back around and he is still laying on the ground.
He just seems like such a pleasant and well-mannered dude who can't help but smile all the time. Very friendly. RIP Jim.
he didn't even want kids to see him smoke because he knew he was able to sway our opinions of it. love that man
He seemed like such a likeable guy. Next to Mr. Bean, I don't think anyone made me laugh as hard as Ernest did as a child.
Yea, imagine the two've them in a sketch together
Mr.Bean sucks compared to Jim Varney
@@PatrickBaptist Thats a bold statement. Jim Varney was a unique talent of his own for which he will be remembered for, but there are other comedians that are funnier.
@@valdez380 Yeah I shouldn't have said that, I should have dogged Verney for being a tool of the devil, the man was nothing more than a joke in life, I'm sorry I ever watched him or even know who he was. I did remove that comment.
All Jimmy did for people was comfort them with useless lies, the guy was teaching occult shit to children, he is weeping and gnashing his teeth now, he learned God isn't a joke. He should have used his life for something useful like telling kids about Jesus rather than teaching them to be biblical fools.
The scene in Ernest Christmas when he brings the tree in.. kills me every time
God, look at that smile. What a sweet man.
It's so contagious
You're full of shit. He was an asshole.
Yeah? tell us how
@?,?, The brain dead never talk about the abortion accident of surviving being flushed down the 💩🚽 toilet.
@@TheresaPowers Jim Varney lived in White House, TN. That is about 35 minutes from me. He was a local and a very nice, down-to-earth Christian man. That is far from being an asshole.
As a human being that was once a child, Ernest brought smiles to my home. As a man from Kentucky, Jim Varney makes me proud of this state and that's why I have an Ernest tattoo.
Youknowwhutimean
Gee that's swell, Vern!
I was thinking of getting one as well
One of the best actors of the 80s.... So underrated. Loved his work as Ernest. RIP.
He was a failed actor.,..a one hit wonder.
Katherine McChesney: You're a sad pathetic internet troll that has nothing to show for themselves. Congratulations.
@@TheresaPowers Know what Katherine, I don't give a f***k if Vern was a one hit wonder, he is a legend.
@@hankhill7536 legend.
Katherine McChesney lmao says the person no one knows
Dude has got such a nice smile and seems like such a friendly person. RIP Jim.
This grin is simply unbeatable! Dear Jim, we will never forget you! R.I.P
Jim varney is a major part of my childhood an amazing actor that died to early miss ya man.
ha same!
Yes!!!!! This dude was and still is my shit!!!!!!!
Outstanding actor to do whatever he can do.
I would have loved to see Jim Varney and John Candy in a movie together, like rival brothers, or hillbilly best friends, getting into a bunch of situations. Jim and John were my absolute favorites.
Yes, they were both great and very natural comedic actors
Oh yeah! I love and miss them both. I'm thankful for the great parts they played in my childhood!
Jeez it is a damn shame the world never got to see Jim step outside this, albeit amazing & iconic, character. He apparently was a force on stage...and everything about the way he moves, the way he speaks, suggests it to be the case. When he’s doing interviews or whatever...you can SEE the wheels turning almost...clearly a considered, thoughtful dude. As a kid I loved Ernest. Obvious. But as an adult if you just watch and listen, you see what we’ve all missed out on since he’s left us.
Id give my left pointy finger to have him back and doing character work in movies and prestige television,....but at any cost, I hope he found his peace.
I love a 'genuine' smile that spreads to the eyes and lights up one's entire face. Jim Varney has this smile. GORGEOUS. I miss him so much.
Jim Varney was the funniest and most likable guy you could ever meet. He changed the face of television and will be in our hearts forever. You will forever be missed!
Absolutely, he changed the face of television with his funny commercials and movies.
Seemed like a great person. Played a big part in my childhood.
Mine too
Yeah same here watching Ernest Saves Christmas at the moment.. man that part where he dresses up as the old woman😂🤣😂🤣
He was so sweet! I've never watched a video of him being himself, adorable.
It was so heartbreaking when Mr. Varney passed away, especially at still a young age. So rare........a comic that was extremely funny, yet didn't spew garbage out of his mouth. His talent is national treasure.
You can tell he had a heart of gold and an undying passion for making people laugh. Miss you lots Jim.
I love this guy!! Make's me laugh every time. He's also my cousin and held me as a baby!!! I was touched by genius!
It's February 9, 2021. I still love this man. What a treasure
Mr Jim Varney was my grandfather's nephew. I saw him a few times at family functions he was very quiet but if there were kids around the silly came out and he liked to entertain mine and my cousins kids. I do miss him
I always liked Jim Varney. I always felt like he was a legitimately nice guy and had a genuine soul to him. Ernest will always be one of my favorite characters.
Seeing Ernest P Worrell and then seeing Jim Varney is like night and day
We certainly need more Jim Varney's in the world. I can't help but crack a little grin every time the dude smiles. What a soulful and happy person.
"Ernest Goest to Heaven". Miss you.
Man, I thought that 20 years later, this stuff couldn't possibly hold up but it still cracks me up.
Ernest consumed his entire career. Jim was really such a nice and humble man who always made time for his fans.
I grew up watching Jim Varney's as Ernest... I remember the day he left us :(
I have so much gratitude towards Jim. Thanks for the laughs!!!
Jim and I met through his ex wife and became close friends. He was a beautiful human being.
No you didn't. Varney was an asshole. The most selfish man I ever knews.
Katherine McChesney "knews" 😂
Katherine McChesney cut it out man he's dead rip
Thanks bigpecker251. Great story
unapologetic. aquarius where’s the proof
There will never be another Jim Varney. He was one in ten million.
Here in 2024, still remembering Jim.
I know he making everyone laugh now up in heaven. RIP Jim Varney :(
+KatherineMacChesney Hey, Katherine...aren't you the one who posted on Amazon that our Jim was selfish and used people, then threw them away? Here you are again, slandering someone without proof, who isnt here to defend himself. Why retaliate in public after he's gone?
I see the coward deleted the comment. My uncle worked with Jim Varney on the set of Scared Stupid, and said he was an absolute gentleman and very humble. I loved him growing up and his presence is greatly missed.
Hey God, bet you could use a nice ice cold Sprite!
@@JustSomeGoy I chuckled, but as a Christian, I'm not sure if I should be offended. Then again, having read the gospels many times over, I think God has a sense humour.
Yes, I agree and there are so many others like us that miss him and I am doing all I can to keep his memory alive.
Jim was so nice and that smile is wonderful. ;-)
Crazy that his most beloved comedic character was invented for him by an ad agency just to sell shit at first... the character has so much more value than that in retrospect, and we can owe it all to the man portraying the character, he *became* Ernest to all of us!
He's so cute. You just can't help but smile when he smiles :)
Whenever I have a bad day I watch this and Jim Varneys genuine humility and kindness helps me more then he’ll know.
THIS MAN WAS AN AMAZING ACTOR,HIS COMEDY WAS JUST GENIUS,RIP JIM see ya on the other side
thanks for my child hood memories Jim! (29years) miss you..
Wow I miss those days. Just look at how much more professional and polished the news was instead of the degeneracy that's on the air now.
So true. Those days are long gone.
What annoys me about today is most of the time, the person interviewing talks over the person being interviewed, before the person is done.
This commercial is white supremacist, it shows a wonderful world without dieversity
E Johnson, this is a news interview, not a commercial. If you are referring to the commercial clips they showed, there was only one actor so I wouldn't expect there to be diversity? This is besides the point that he clearly stated that these were made for local demographics, small rural communities, not big city stuff where you would see such diversity. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Cloward Piven here in 2017 it's even worse.
R.I.P. Jim Varney a.k.a. Ernest and Slinky Dog
Just watching Jim Varney makes me so happy and smile. He is awesome and is sorely missed.
1984 is the year, lots of epic movies came out. Those movies were great to see on TV.
What a handsome man he was!! He had such a beautifully contagious smile! -3
Yes....this was a great clip. Interestingly enough it just became my most viewed clip. I think people are amazed what a young (around 35 years old) Jim Varney looked like when not standing one foot from the camera with a baseball cap on, making the craziest faces he could.
Contagious smile. 😄
That Smile though:)
Oh how I miss this guy. I first saw him when he did the Pine State Milk commercials in Raleigh, NC the 1970's. I was forever hooked on Ernest P. Worrel, knowwhutahmean Vern? RIP Jim, we love and miss you.
He was so funny... made my youth!
How about a bumper sandwich booger lips?eh hahaha
Ernest is/was AWESOME! He made movies that you can actually let your kids watch, and not have to worry about the language or sexual references....
Right on! He was balanced just right for both children and adults.
God bless Jim Varney. One of the greatest, most underrated comedians ever. Thanks for the memories James Albert Varney.
I have such respect for an actor who can transform so completely. He's nothing like Ernest. This man was very talented.
i loved this guys comedy he was one of the greats
One of his greatest fears was being forgotten. Not only is he NOT forgotten, but he's still adored by his "Gen-Xer" fans. He never had children, but I like to think we are his proverbial children...Happy Birthday, Jim Varney!!
Much MORE CLEAN THAN THE OTHER ONE….WHOLESOME VERN!!!DR.BRYANT LANE
he's so loveable when he smiles (:
This man was such a huge part of my childhood.
RIP Jim Varney...there will never be another Ernest P Worrell. His films and commercials are amazing and will go down in history. We miss you Jim!
I loved watching Ernest as a kid! Fun to watch him now with my kids and watch them crack up. RIP Jim Varney
I remember he did the lotto commercials here in West Virginia when I was a kid. He seemed like a good guy.
Unbelievable talent and humility. And Joan is smokin hot here.
This makes me so sad he was such a sweet heart, I wish he was still alive!
that's my cousin Jim i never got to meet him he died when i was 5 years old my mom and sister went to his funeral i wish i could have met him before he passed U_U
Being in the room with Joan probably helped him smile a little more.
Real nice man. Quiet but like most actors not like his character but he played it 10/10 loved his movies as a kid. And i live in Ireland. Not many know Ernest over here. I am glad i did. Thanks Jim Varney for the memories.
I grew up seeing his ads and I'm old enough to remember the Ernest movies. I don't think I've ever seen him out of the Ernest character before this. Thanks for uploading it!
yeah me too....i was born in 82
I was born in 78. Saw Ernest Goes to Camp on TV in 1992.
I think he would have touched people in any role he did, as he did. That infectious smile still lights me up. Thank you for sharing. I do enjoy "Dr. Otto", and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten to see him in "Big River" but I would still be a fan today.
Jim Varney was a quiet guy, the polar opposite of the silly, outgoing goofball that was Ernest P. Worrell. He was an amazing actor, sadly now another fallen soldier in the war against a world without humor or happiness. RIP Jim.
AHHA THE BODIES STILL THERE, Jim was a great man.
Loved Jim Varney,such an under-rated actor. Gone way too soon.😪
Jim Varney will always be my favourite actor. I bet he's in heaven right now, entertaining God!
What an awesome individual. A genuine, kind-hearted man that is truly missed.
How can anyone hate this video - It shows the softer & intelligent side of Jim (Ernest)
a colossal comic talent, and what a well-spoken, gentle soul. RIP Jim Varney.
And his smile...just awesome to see. Makes me smile too.
Jim Varney lived in my hometown of White House Tennessee. My mother smoked weed with him when I was a kid
Thank you for the laughs sir.
Love Jim Varney!!! We didn't have consistent (legal) cable growing up so whenever the cable was gone, it would be Ernest movies on repeat.
I LOVE HIM!... Wow... how did we ever think rational about those hairstyles?!
Maggie, because like'em or not (and I think you do) at least hair on heads had style! I was asking my wife just yesterday, after watching something with a male host,
"When did bed-hair come into fashion?'
At first, a year back or so, first notice this (and, forget doing until now), I believe I thought, wow, there's a man with confidence! Not a bit put off his speech by concern his hair might spoil the reception of his point of view (or, whatever he was about).
Now, I realize I.., who no comb, no barber, no stylist could ever help, am just jealous. I think about all that money left on barbershop floors over 67 years of visits. And, I envy the confidence such bravado required to be seen in public, to talk up a first date, a first interview, or to the flat-topped Marine now cop, writing a ticket.
I liked this guy so much I bought a video back in the late 80s of all his commercials
He is handsome and such an sweet smile he has.
What a cute smile he had. RIP Ernest, Jim Varney
Wow! These comments are like all us 80’s kids are here almost feeling like a kid once again.
He's actually a really handsome dude. He just looks to me to be a really, really intelligent, man.
2020 and still just as sweet & funny. What a great guy he was.
Growing up in Kentucky, I went to the same high school as Varney, they had a picture of him framed in the front of the school.
What a great comedian he was. He first did his Ernest commercials and then his Ernest movies.
Jim brought a lot of laughs to our home when my kids were growing up.
I think our favorite was, "Ernest Goes To Camp"......although
🎃"Scared Stupid"🎃 is a treasure as well. Thank you for giving us so many reasons to smile --- and more than that, to be kind.
Love you, Jim. 💕
It's so sad that people characterized him as Ernest. He had an IQ of 130, which is near-genius, yet many people thought he was a moron.
Brutus Mars its hard for folks to separate the on screen character from the real life human.
@@texasdeeslinglead2401 yea it is
Really Dude! He was laughing all the way to the bank!!!
Same thing was true about what's her name...Law and Order SVU's star...Mariska Hargitay's mother...what the hell is her mom's name...ugh the one big beauty/pin up/sex symbol of the 60s other than Paige and Monroe?.....Ugh...Jane Mansfield. There you go. She had an IQ that tested between 160 and 170 and yet, she embraced the very first dumb blonde type character the world had ever seen at least as we know the character I'm modern times. She knew the money and fame were in selling sex however she was a genius, in MENSA, and a hopeless romantic who in her last decade became totally devoted to motherhood and spending time with and sharing her children with the world even bringing them, including a 2 or 3 year old Mariska, to old late night talk shows on stage with her. But yea, Jim Varney and Jane Mansfield are like...thee two people on earth who seem least likely to be as smart as they were.

Unfortunately we'll never see another Ernest (Jim Varney) in TV commercials or movies again. One of a kind
Still funny in 2014.
and in 2017.. at what year should he stop being funny if he started out funny
and in 2020!
And in 2022!
Jim Varney is a classic guy. Love his work.
This guy was such a big part of my childhood! Damn. Cigarettes can kill ya....
R.I.P. funny man
You can tell that he had so much love for his craft AND his fans! He really had a great heart, and all of our youth's were the better for it!!
Ernest = Earnest!
R.I.P. Jim Varney! ❤️😔🙏
One of my favorite actors of all time , it would have been perfect to see him in a dramatic role I think that is where he would have shined the most ,☺ I hope I spelled everything correctly for the grammar Nazies or the loser of the world.
Wow!!! I thought he naturally acted like Ernest. Seeing him in this interview is a little shocking. He seems like an intellectual individual, I wouldn't mind having a conversation with! RIP J Varney.
Ernesto, was, in, the, 80s, a, great, comedian, when I, was, a teenager, enjoyed, a lot, seeing him, for me, one of, the, best, of his, time, what, rest in, peace!!!!
Almost can't recognize him without the hat and vest. He looks so much younger without them. His commercials were definitely worth the watch.
Ernest finally met Vern. Jim and country singer Vern Gosdin became friends and wrote songs together in Jim's latter years.
Jim varney (1949-2000). A great actor, comedian, voice actor and a great Kentucky guy. Youknowwhatimean.
jim varney would be 61 if he was still alive r.i.p.
I'm as old as Jim Varney was the year I was born
