In 1984, Jim Varney was interviewed on Good Morning America by Joan Lunden, about how his Ernest character was sweeping the country. Interesting interview with an 80’s icon.

Jim Varney Does Shakespeare and Ernest

I am on a real Ernest kick this week. This was the clip that kicked it all off and shows how versatile Jim Varney was. Watching him more effortlessly from Shakespeare to Ernest and try not to smile.
