Jim Varney's "Virgil Simms" character, who appeared on Martin Mull's mock talk show "Fernwood 2 Night" in the late 70's, was known as the motor home daredevil as he would jump a "fully equipped" Winnebago over a row of motorcycles. Did he inspire this?? https://t.co/6TiAyYWo3z
🎤 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: David Letterman’s classic non sequiturs “Are you cookin’ beans?” & “Is Zorro on?” came from Jim Varney’s old comedy act. I love that Letterman was obviously a fan of Jim’s memorable characters. 🎭 #JimVarney #LateNight
Tulsa legend Gailard Sartain passed away this week. He was well known for his role in the local late-night program "Mazeppa."
Our March 1999 cover featured an image of Sartain from the movie "Existo," in which he played a drag queen.

@QuandaryMan Some episodes weren't written well but it had charm and a good setting. I don't understand why they took inspo from Murdock for Evan Earp and mixed (or stole) aspects of early, unaired Ernest commercials into the character but I personally like Evan more than Murdock.
@QuandaryMan I uploaded all 13 episodes to YouTube on my alt account, Varney Vids, almost a year ago. I really love the show. I really love that show. It wasn't fair that it was cancelled.

In this week’s Titans of Telephemera, we continue our look through the career of A-Team creator Stephen J Cannel.
That’s not to say all his shows was A-list though, who remembers The Rousters, about circus worker bounty hunters descended from Wyatt Earp?

@ErnestChat@SeeingErnest I haven't caught up on everything yet but I absolutely loved hearing them read both drafts of Hot & Fresh Ernest. It was fun to hear and boy, I wish that one had been made. Right up my alley 🍕🛻🐀
Remembering the gentle and brilliant soul behind the Ernest P. Worrell character a little extra today: Jim Varney.
June 15th 1949 - February 10th 2000

@omid9 People wouldn't care in Iceland because, despite what they say about it being an equal paradise, they are far worse to woman there than those outside of Iceland know.
