The new Ernest P. Worrell
Can anybody tell me who might make a great new Ernest P. Worrell? I was thinking of Patrick Warburton as the new Ernest P. Worrell. Who did you have in mind?

Nobody!! There is only one Ernest P. Worrell and he is no longer living. Jim Varney created the Ernest character out of thin air, mainly because Varney was a great actor/impressionist and only HE could do that character perfectly. Would you recast Pee Wee Herman? No, because Paul Reubens is the one and only Pee Wee and always will be.

Sadly they have cast a new actor as Ernest for commercials in the South. Go to YouTube and look up new Ernest P. Worrell. He sucks big time. I don't even know why they did that!

Well even though they shouldn't make another one,i can see French Stewart portraying him.His voice and facial expressions could pull it off.
shareI've seen the new Ernest demo reels on Youtube. Umm, no, just absolutely no. One of the first thoughts that came to mind when Hudgens mugged for the camera: "Hey, Vern! It's Scary Things." He cannot mug like Varney did and look that good. His name is John Hudgens and he used to be a weatherman. Him trying-and I stress trying-to be Ernest is a slap in the face to me. So it should be like a punch in the gut for Varney, God rest his soul. We don't love Varney because of Ernest. We love Ernest BECAUSE of Varney. That's why he can never be replaced. No one radiates like him when portraying Ernest. I think someone said they might make a movie with the new Ernest. You couldn't pay me to go and see it. You couldn't even give them away. I could go on and on about how wrong the new Ernest is. Sad but true, all of Varney's characters needed to die with him. We can keep his memory alive by buying and watching his Ernest movies. No one elses.
People may call John the new Ernest but we all know that Varney was the 'Real Ernest'.
Varney rules!!!
Mike Rowe would do pretty good at it i think.
shareOh, absolutely. I think Mike Rowe is the only one to come close to looking and acting like Jim Varney. I know there's only one Varney. Mike and Jim could've been twins, almost. They both hawked almost the same products. Jim-toyota and Ford. Mike-Ford. They both have great singing voices, wear jeans, a shirt and a tan hat. And they're both funny. Their mannerisms are uncanny and almost strangely similiar. I remember an episode of 'Dirty Jobs', the alligator egg farmer show, when Mike got ants in his pants. It reminded me so much of when Jim used to pretend to have ants in his pants during a Sprite commercial. If there was a bio movie on Jim, Mike would be my first choice to play him.
