Truck Stop Chic on Instagram: "Jim Varney made countless appearances as Ernest P. Worrell, not just in commercials and movies but out in the wild too—always in that denim vest and baseball cap. He threw out first pitches at MLB games, popped up at parades, and showed up on kids’ shows, staying in character the whole time. Ernest wasn’t just a role—he was a walking, talking part of Americana. Knowhutimean? Check out @buscadero_motorcycles for more throwback vibes #americana #baseball"

I am forever indebted to the late Joe Liles for so much that he shared with me about Jim as I researched the book. This commercial and some of the early Sgt. Glory commercials are just some of the priceless items he shared with me. From the picture that became the cover of my book, and so much history about Jim that only he knew, Joe was truly invaluable. I'm sorry I was not able to meet him in person before he passed in 2016. | The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Actor Jim Varney
