“My Name Is Earl”: Sweet Johnny

Ten years ago, Sweet Johnny (David Arquette) was a daredevil stuntman known for wacky and outrageous stunts. Sweet Johnny’s woman, Sheila, had a very sweet behind that Earl could not resist. So while Sweet Johnny was rehabbing his injuries from his latest failed stunt, Earl took advantage of it to get busy with Sheila in Sweet Johnny’s van. So to keep getting with Sheila, Earl suggested even more wild and dangerous stunts for Johnny. Now Earl needs to cross Sweet Johnny off his list, so he goes to confess. But a brain injury Sweet Johnny suffered while putting on his pants has left him with amnesia — he has been living the same day over and over for 10 years, Groundhog Day-style. Earl tries to help Sweet Johnny complete his most dangerous stunt yet: Floating up in a weather balloon to where the planes fly, high-fiving God, and then parachuting down safely. But Sweet Johnny’s stunt goes haywire, and Earl realizes that Sweet Johnny will never be able to remember any of this anyway. Instead of crossing Sweet Johnny off his list, Earl circles him. Earl will have to remember what happened, since Sweet Johnny can’t. Sweeeet!
