What Happened To All Of Your Favorite Commercial Stars
Jim Varney, Sprite – Undisclosed Amount
Of course, late, great comedian and actor Jim Varney was most famous for his creation and portrayal of the character Ernest, which spawned ten movies and two television shows. Along the way, Ernest also appeared in many commercials, including ads for Chex, Taco John’s, and even the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. That’s right!
However, Ernest’s most famous commercial, by far, was his ads for Sprite. In fact, many say that Sprite’s enduring popularity has just as much to do with its great commercials as it does with its refreshing taste, which started with the Ernest commercials! Sadly, Varney passed away in 2000, meaning no more Ernest ads.
