Family

Ernest has a large family made up of people with similar traits to him, all of whom were portrayed by Jim Varney. Varney, as Worrell, mentioned that his family was from Kentucky when he hosted Happy New Year, America on CBS December 31, 1988. Most of Worrell's family members had their appearance in either Knowhutimean? Hey Vern, It's My Family Album or Your World as I See It.

The Worrell Family:

• Edna Worrell: Ernest's second wife according to the television commercials and Hey Vern, It's My Family Album. According to Ernest, Edna makes a great deep dish pie. Her middle initial is also said to be P. in Ernest's newsletter during the 1980s.
• Ace Worrell: A fighter pilot who served in the army. His relation to Ernest is unknown though he is believed to be a great uncle.
• Jennifer Sharkey Worrell: Ernest's late first wife.
