"Norm McDonald is that Colonel Sanders in KFC commercials"

He's replacing fellow 'Saturday Night Live' alum Darrell Hammond.

There's a new Colonel in town.

Norm Macdonald has taken over the role of Colonel Sanders, replacing his fellow Saturday Night Live alum Darrell Hammond, who started appearing in KFC commercials in May. The ads play off the fact that Macdonald is the new face, with his Colonel Sanders decrying imposters from Hollywood pretending to be him.

"Other than not quite looking like him, his voice being different and his inability to cook the world’s best chicken, we thought Norm was the perfect choice to play the Real Colonel. I think the fans will agree," said Kevin Hochman, chief marketing officer KFC US.

Check out two of the ads below.

I thought Darrel Hammond was bad - butNorm is awful. Not so much of an accent but more of slurring.

I'm happy to see Norm getting paid, and I don't eat at KFC, so I'm not mad.

I loved seeing Norm in the commercials tonight, cuz he does that patented Norm "I don't give 2 shits of a fuck about this role" shrug, mid-sentence.

And it intimated that he was a known racist and the rumors of him giving money to the kkk. Plus there was a rumor he stole the early chicken recipe from a black woman.

But then again he came along a time when that was widely acceptable behavior, but it still left me not liking him at all.
