Hey Vern!

Welcome to a great big tribute to Ernest P. Worrell — the lovable, accident-prone everyman who talked your ear off through the screen — and to Jim Varney, the astonishingly versatile actor who brought Ernest (and a whole family of characters) to life.

From hundreds of local TV commercials to a string of hit movies and a Saturday-morning show, Ernest made America grin. Pull up a chair. KnoWhutIMean?
