Fall TV: My Name is Earl - Season 3 Spoilers http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/384562... Earl Hickey (Jason Lee), once a guy who did a lot of bad things, is now a firm believer in karma and seeks to right the wrongs he once committed. When we last saw Earl, he was finally getting his life together. He landed a sales job, got an apartment, obtained a GED, and even had a girlfriend. Then, his pregnant ex-wife, Joy (Emmy winner Jaime Pressly), was facing mandatory time in prison for stealing a truck. This would have been Joy s third strike. Earl did not want Joy to have to leave her family, so he took the blame for the crime and ended up getting sentenced to two years in prison.
