In this video he is to be the first human to experience the death defying trip down Splash Mountain!..The rubber-faced Ernest, almost always dressed in a denim vest and baseball cap, appeared at the door of an unseen, unheard, and seemingly unwilling neighbor named "Vern". The spots were structured in a way to allow the viewer to be "Vern", as Varney looked directly in the camera whenever Vern was addressed.

This intrepid explorer
