Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) Filming Locations & Hidden Secrets In Orlando / Jim Varney Memories

Ernest Saves Christmas Filming Locations

[@Jim_biis]

Hey Adam! The actress who played Harmony ( Noelle Parker) just had spinal surgery and recovery is long. Her friends set up a gofundme, I saw on her Instagram. Great video!

[@randallwilliams8622]

Love all the videos that you guys collaberate together. Jim Varney's Cousin John spoke at my first wife's Funeral, his daughter was my wife's best friend growing up.

[@PhotoGearFun]

Great to see you and Micah together again. The research both of you do just blows me away. Another great filming locations video. Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this.

[@TheDailyWoo]

We both love the movie .

[@BeeTeePee]

It's amazing to see someone else named Micah. My BFF named her oldest Micah & up until this year I had not met anyone else named that.

[@RandomlyRandy58]

It always amazes me how some locations are unrecognizable while others look identical from many many years ago. Fantastic job guys what a great start to a Sunday Morning.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks for watching Randy

[@theshape3988]

This movie was part of my teen years and Jim Varney was part of my childhood. He's a legendary character actor and I appreciate you Adam

[@sodorflubbs5000]

Don’t think that’s a goose. Looked like a swan to me!!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Love Ernest! The characters that he played were so comedy..ya know what I mean Vern?! 🎅

[@theathjr]

Adam I know I have stated this before but you and Micah are KZbin gold together. You’re his Ying to your Yang. Oh boy that didn’t sound right. Sorry. You are like 2 peas in a pod. Better ? I think so. Lol

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

This was interesting, how do you normally find movie locations other than how Micah found the one spot ? Do viewers give you tips ?

[@tomklock568]

FINALLY...you are doing a movie I have seen and well familiar with! We watched it every Christmas Eve for several years in a row at my mom's house! My mom and wife didn't appreciate it, but my brother and I and the kids did! Thanks for the video!

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s a lot of fun

[@aaronkline1241]

Great Video Adam and Micah! Awesome seeing you both do this. Fun fact: Shakespeare Theater used to be originally the Orlando Science Center. And the dome or dish roof was the planetarium. Anyways--- great stuff !!! Keep up your awesome work

[@ShareaDreamComeTrue]

I’m so happy for you and Micah’s Ernest videos. I rode my bike around downtown Orlando and saw the Ernest house before they tore it down. Classic movie! ❤️🎥

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad you got to see it beforehand

[@mandysimmons2769]

I loved Jim Varney. I loved his singing. He sang with Country music God Father Vern Gosdin which was funny because of the "hey Vern" thing. I was not an Ernest fan in general ( I was not a ten year old boy at the time lol ) but the one he did in Africa was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I used to show it to my Mother in Law and we'd laugh and laugh. His performance as a Harem dancing girl is still so funny to me. I put that on ( it was hard to find the dvd of it ) and just laugh like a rabid donkey. Oh, just saw some dear

[@brendakrieger7000]

I love how everything is either a stansion or a berm😂

[@debbralehrman5957]

I think we still have that on VHS. Now I just need to get something to play it on. I guess will just watch on Disney+.

[@drewood]

Ahh, smell those Christmas trees. You can keep your ‘Channel’ Number 5, just give me a whiff of the old lonesome pine. That symbol of brotherly love, that centerpiece that all mankind gathers around to share the cranberry sauce shaped like a can.

[@chrispedersen5578]

The Ernest movies were hilarious! Another Christmas favorite is Kiss Saves Santa. Everyone knows pterodactyls can't stand the screech of a guitar!

[@JayBish33]

Love the attention to detail that both you and Micah put into this video. One of my favorite Christmas movies and now one of my favorite DailyWoo videos 👍👍 Much love to World of Michah as well checking his out also.

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

Thanks for showing the filming locations for this Christmas classic. We watch this Christmas classic each year. There’s a store in Gatlinburg called Santa’s Claus-et that has 2 elves with sunglasses that remind me of the elves from Ernest Saves Christmas every time we visit. We really enjoyed your vlog.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Jim Varney was a genius with the Ernest character! I really enjoyed this film and thanks for showing the filming locations.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Agreed. I loved that guy

[@HumanDissection]

I always wondered who VERN was. The camera operator? Ernest always talked to Vern, but never actually seen the guy.

[@patrickritter3028]

hey adam and michah ,fox 35 studios way back when earnest saves christmas was made the fox 35 tv studio of was wofl 35 before it was fox 35

[@davidch2010]

i GREW UP IN ORLANDO AND STILL LIVE HERE :) ITS HOME PARANTHOOD WAS ALSO FILMED HERE TOO :) 1988 JUST LIKE ERENEST I FILNY GOT THE DVD LAST WEEK :)

[@mustangcindy1303]

It’s been a while since I saw that movie. I should watch it again. In fact I’ll watch it right now. Was trying to decide what to watch tonight and you just helped me. My dad introduced me to those Ernest movies when I was young. He always liked those kinda goofy movies. ~~ You always do a really good job with filming locations.~~ I just had to mention too (even though it’s really not a big deal) that the bird at the beginning of your video was a swan not a goose.

[@lisadodson-newton8525]

Hey Adam 👋 Lord... I remember going to the movies and seeing this movie when I was in High School 😄

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, really enjoyed your vlog! I love Earnest Saves Christmas Even, tho it's been ages ago I seen it! Hello World of Micah! Can't wait till your next vlog!

[@infinityEOC]

Both the lawyers office on N. Eola & the Shakespeare Center are both called “Lowndes”. Weird.

[@rotceridjc]

I was the Associate Director on the last year of the Roseanne Show . We has Jim Varney on the show for two weeks but Roseanne hired him for a non comedic role.

[@bobbiweaver3937]

I’m so exciting for this!!! We watch the Ernest movies at Halloween and Christmas each year. Classics!

[@NadaSurferTube]

I've never seen a single Ernest film--only exposed to the funny tv commercials growing up, but when I was a kid I dont know why I always thought he reminded me a little bit of Ernest T Bass from the Andy Griffith show, as they both wear vests and had larger than life personalities ? Just me? Haha, who knows. I'll have to marathon these films sometime, in order, and then come back and rewatch all this with new eyes. :) I do respect the passion for details here today,. Nerds rule all, I'm here for it. 😁✌️💚

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yes he choose the name after Ernest t bass

[@YoursTrulyChris]

Thanks for this awesome birthday present! One of my favorite Christmas movies!

[@Mrs_Christa]

“Ya want one for ye boy?? I gave one to my boy last year.” 😆😆😆 Kills me every time! Favorite line out of Ernest Saves Christmas!!!

[@theathjr]

Best comment ever

[@kryptism]

I love for you guys to do Parenthood, Monster, Larry the Cable Guy and Daryl filming locations! Also the 2015 movie Sisters was filmed in Orlando as well!👍

[@spookerredmenace3950]

did we ever see what Vern looked like lol

[@stuckinmopro8533]

I enjoy seeing your videos that you do with Micah and Tim because you’re watching each video from a different perspective. Seeing the exact same shots but from each of your takes is interesting.

[@jamieadisneyfan8317]

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you both! Thanks for sharing this vlog.

[@edgelennox4035]

APPRECIATE YOUR VIDS & NOT BEING A YT $ GRABBER. I DON'T COMMENT MUCH. A FELLOW REBEL/ROLLING STONE. E

[@lynndem8391]

This was hilarious and so much fun to see all the locations. Jim Varney is so funny as Ernest. Love the variation on this channel so much and all the history, movie locations, Americana, etc, so awesome!

[@TheDailyWoo]

I’m Glad you do. I like mixing it up

[@htrmauney]

Where is that park bench that Santa sat on with the older local actor?

[@ShelleeGraham]

LOVED ❤the 1926 train depot in Orlando. What a beautiful, historic structure with many artifacts within! Thx.

[@matthewfarmer6830]

Thanks for doing a tribute to Jim the man Varney and thanks for bringing your friend along. I saw that movie so many times on tv. It would be a Christmas special 🎄⛄. This was awesome. Merry Christmas Adam and friend.😎👍👍🎁

[@theathjr]

Octagon Hexagon Potatoe poetahtoe. Lol. Love this channel

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

just a little movie history the old man who played santa claus he played the saltin in the cartoon movie Alddin my spelling is vey bad can'y help it

[@advlandvideo]

Seeing you and Micah together is always refreshing. Brothers from another mother. I hope you guys find the holy grail you are looking for.

[@sharonatl]

Hint , hint.. below good road trip

[@larryfischer2972]

Jim Varney's Saturday morning TV show came on at like 6:00 AM back in 1988. "Hey Vern It's Ernest" was the name of the show, just before Pee Wee's Playhouse. It was great, when I managed to wake up early enough.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yep ! Back to back goodness

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I used to watch both shows too!

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Ernest Goes to CAMP is my favorite one!....haha...

[@GoetiaTV]

Loved Ernest Saves Christmas, second only to Ernest Goes to Jail. I also watched the Saturday morning show. Jim Varney is a legend.

[@PointlessNostalgia]

One of the best Christmas movies ever. Watching you two do impressions was a great way to start a Sunday

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s such a classic . Saw it in the theatre when it came out with my family

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank You for the stream/vlog very interesting.

[@worldofmicah]

We were one with the Yuletide - know what I mean?

[@TheDailyWoo]

Such a fun day man

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Great video Adam and Micah! The Amtrak station in Orlando we have vlogged inside and outside on our channel for our PrimeTrains and Amtrak Station Tours! We loved visiting the Orlando station and even took a train out of Orlando to Tampa for a vlog earlier this year.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s a great classic depot

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

@@TheDailyWoo A response from ATW! My week is made! Hope you are well my friend and hope to meet up with you again someday!

[@joshua.snyder]

Anyone know why Ernest Goes to Camp isn't streaming anywhere?

[@ezzz1109]

Earnest was also filmed at Orlando Executive airport... Scenes with cop cars chasing him.... I watched the filming...

[@NirvashOne]

Revisiting this video because I'm currently watching Ernest saves Christmas on freevee. It's fun watching all the old locations in my hometown.

[@jtkirkfan2002]

One of my favorite Christmas movies. Doesn't the movie indicate that they also did some location shots in Nashville, TN?

[@Peajay007]

I discovered Ernest while I was living in Seattle as a young Aussie teenager. He never really found the fame here as he did there. So Ernest movies hold a special place in my heart. To me he’s become my teenage connection to my time in the USA. When I watched the babysitters club (my favourite book series) and seeing him playing maryanne’s dad my teenage heart was so happy!!

[@lawrenceakini9507]

Thanks for this vlog. Everyone have amazing day. Ciao.

[@andyinmichigan9058]

this movie was great. used to watch with my little brothers all the time. The trick scene going into the studio with ernest as the snake farmer was hilarious! Pison snakes!!

[@htrmauney]

I can't believe I didn't recognize the Wells Fargo Building, I used to work in, from being in this movie.

[@breakingthechainusa1007]

Air brakes vern. Awesome movie

[@EPiche09]

Loved the Ernest movies, classic blockbuster rentals. Ever take the Amtrak Adam? I think you’d like it. It would be sweet to take the train to Orlando

[@jeffreycharles5035]

Jim Varney…would be proud!

[@selbyjohnson5986]

I didn’t know they filmed at channel 35 in Lake Mary that’s very close to where I live

[@normslivinski7483]

My house is in lake mary. The forest

[@TaylorP331]

Hey man, no offense, but that’s a mute swan in the beginning of the vlog. Love seeing you and Micah together! Thanks for the content, 🤘🏼

[@bjones4301]

Such fond memories of this movie (all Ernest movies but this is prob my favorite next to Ernest goes to camp), thank you for this video, loved seeing all the film locations.

[@rrelectric5159]

Nice one. My favorite scene was when Ernest tries to fix the wiring in Verne's house and ends up tearing it out of the wall. I think the "Air Brakes" line is from an old Buggs Bunny cartoon.

[@tony.9363]

This one and Ernest Scared Stupid are my favorites.

[@joeynessily]

That’s a swan… not a goose..

[@brendakrieger7000]

Ernest movies are always fun😂

[@gregphilippi8054]

I’m courious when you were at Epcot near Japan and you encountered a snake after you filmed it did you inform any cast members so they could get animal control over to catch it before it hurt someone a child could have gone after it and gotten attacked by it

[@chrisstephens5310]

Adam you never give me the thumbs up I'm always good to your videos.....

[@smilingpolitely4100]

Good morning

[@Mrs_Christa]

Know what I mean is probably the best outro you’ve ever done haha!!

[@WonderfulDayJavier]

Adam, which is the filming spot that hasn't been found yet? I can't make out what Micah said.

[@ronwhitlock9385]

Saw the clip of Ernest in the Snake shot. Super funny.

[@NirvashOne]

Fun fact, the Shakespeare center is the original science center.

[@hatboxhaint2459]

Hey Vern!

[@rodonis88]

Isn’t that Carpetbagger? Did he change his handle?

[@josephpattison6913]

RIP Jim Varney, where ever you are?

[@sandrawilliamson9849]

Lol you two is always a great time!!! And the info you guys give is crazy ...thank you

[@candarianpumpkin]

That was so fun! The train station is fantastic. Those wooden benches are just gorgeous.

[@JP105INYO]

Morning Adam!

[@michaeljordan6008]

Didn’t Varney audition for SNL?

[@andrewonrecord]

What location are you guys trying to find?

[@-FALKOR]

🇺🇸🇺🇦❤🤍💙‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬💛

[@RetroR3action]

The tree you guys were looking for across the street from Earnests house was a live oak (like most downtown) and it was blown over in a wind storm after a lot of rain, roots and all. I use to live right there for 4 years when I first moved to Orlando and didn't know any of this. I've walked all over the places you guys are SMALL world. The lawyer from you first stop actually also did notary services when I lived there, I walked there to have some stuff stamped when I bought my first place off Holden and Orange. I've since left again because why not. (I'd prefer to have stayed) but I'll definitely be retracing all my previous walks and now your steps to take the tour myself when I come back to visit again. Can't believe out of ALL the "cool stuff" I showed family and friends that came down from Detroit over the years earnest was living right there with me the whole time and I didn't even know. (btw "Earnest Goes to camp" was my first movie of Jim's but they were all favorites.) Thank you so much for all of this

[@RetroR3action]

OMG that Wells Fargo was my bank there. And when you guys are both talking to the camera. That outdoor area behind you was a bar then. Busier at night but opened pretty early for being a bank Cafe lol.

[@donnytucker]

Now I need to go rewatch Ernest saves Christmas 🎄

[@rollin6fo765]

Big the foot rules

[@Mrs_Christa]

Ernest is absolutely my favorite!! If you haven’t seen them yet, look up his “Family Album” sketches!! Uncle Lloyd is my absolute favorite!!!!

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@mattthatsme8799]

thats a swan bro

[@hollywoodgeorge]

I remember watching your 2012 video of Ernest Saves Christmas and watching it now years later with World of Micah. You guys did an amazing job!!

[@lileveretteyoakumiii]

Yodelayheehoo

[@annanicole8580]

Yes I loved Earnest Saved Christmas. I can remember me and my mom watching it for the 1st. She loved it and Earnest too. Holds many pericous memories. Enjoyed this one a lot. Hug's

[@damole7874]

Just reading this title makes me happy 😊! So much nostalgia watching Ernest movies as a kid.. Thanks for the trip down memory lane guys!

[@bobbyd4117]

12:05 "she was conversating" . I think the word you're looking for is conversing. Conversating is not a word. Anyway, love your vids. Keep 'em coming. 🙏✌️🤘

[@dalejensen5828]

Rumor has it Bob Chapek was cooking the books covering up Disneys dire financial situation and the reason for the quick ouster.

[@JNC1973]

When I used to live up on Long Island, NY back in 2009/10 I took an Amtrak from Penn Station down to that same Orlando Amtrak Station cause i was too chicken 💩to fly lol. From there i jumped in a taxi and took it to Disney World. But yeah at the time i had no clue Ernest Saves Christmas was even filmed there.
