Subject: Hey Vern, Bill Burge Is Gone at 92. KnowhutImean?

Written By: LyricBoy on 01/11/25 at 8:00 am

Comedic foil for Ernest P. Worrell, Bill Burge has passed away at the age of 92. :\'( (some accounts have put him at 86)

In 1986, Byrge began appearing in a series of "Me and My Brother Bobby" commercials, produced by the Nashville advertising company Carden and Cherry, the same company responsible for the Ernest P. Worrell commercials with Jim Varney

He then went on to play Ernest’s neighbor Bobby in “Ernest Saves Christmas”, “Hey Vern! it’s Ernest!”, “Ernest Goes to Jail”, “Ernest Scared Stupid”, and “Ernest Goes to School”.  8)

After Jim Varney’s untimely death in 2000, Bobby did not appear in any more Ernest anthology productions.  :-\\

What was that commercial Jim Varney did with his co-star Vern years ago?

It was really funny because I was thinking of "Vern" and Earnest (Jim Varney) just last night. I don't know what triggered the thought.
