As I recall, Ernest began as a local commercial here in Houston for a local television station and did not take long to expand nationally.

Was the best thing since "plop, plop, fizz, fizz".....

He was, IMO, a cross of Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle) and Jim Carey.

I'll miss him... I have a tape of his commercials with the bloopers.. The thing that stands out most to me is Siskel and Ebert always gave his movies two thumbs up. His "Mother" character was an absolute gem..<GGG>
