Amazon Prime video has a collection of Ernest's greatest hits. It's like an hour of his commercials. I got through about 15 minutes and I'm a fan of Ernest.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I legit own the dvd of his tv series. It's p good.

He was also close to the Nashville music scene and good friend to Waylon Jennings and Hank Jr (and a ton of others)
This was taken in 1984 on the set of ‘All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight’;



Jim was a legend. He did go at the best time

e; Oh, forgot to mention he was also a musician and played with many his country singer friends

Waylon was known for his massive cocaine intake, but the whole Nashville scene had been awash in stimulants since at least the 50s.

According to ‘Tales From The Tour Bus’ (a show everyone who likes Mike Judge and/or 70s/80s outlaw country should watch) if Willie heard you were doing coke, he would fire you , and if Waylon smelled weed on you, he would throw you out.

Jim Varney legit had a good grift going where, in the days where small local brands and TV stations still existed, you could make the exact same commercial for a dozen different products and nobody would be the wiser because it was in a completely different state. So he and John Cherry would go to somebody's house and spend the day making the same exact commercial over and over, just swapping out one soft drink for another or whatever.

If you're the podcast-listening type the Jim Varney episode of Laser Time is a good listen.

He was on a giant billboard for a car dealership in either Roseville or Sacramento for many, many years.

Couldn't find a picture of that billboard, but I found the ad:

This still happens. Most recently, I’m thinking of those lawyer ads that starred Robert Vaughn before he died. Traveling around a bit, it was fun to see whatever ambulance-chaser he was plugging in each local network market.
