With their latest commercials with Darrel Hammond as Col. Sanders.... I thought were amusing.

Now they are replacing him with Norm Macdonald... which is brilliant.

*Golf clap* for that advertising team.

Looks like some people weren't Darrell fans.

I dont high entertainment from my fast food commercials. Darrel was fine.

I didn't even notice it was him.

Norm Macdonald is replacing him.

It’s unclear if there was some kind of problem with Hammond, or if KFC is going to be hitting up different former SNL cast members for each subsequent campaign. In which case my money’s on Tim Meadows as the next Colonel.

Yes, Colonel Leon Phelps.

I had figured the turnaround was so fast, this was the plan from the beginning.

Am I the only one that wants to see Jeff Bridges as the Colonel?

I had no idea he was picked up by them since I rarely watch commercials -- just knowing that KFC gave one of my favorite comedian/actors work makes me want to support them... emotionally. I'm still not buying their food.

I stop by from time to time for a couple of Littles. But that's the only thing on the menu that doesn't make me feel awful after eating it.

I don't mean "boy I sure am sad I ate that bad for me thing" feel awful, I mean "wow I think my body is trying to tell me that was not food" feel awful.
