No, this isn’t a lost sketch from the 1996 season of Saturday Night Live. Norm MacDonald, 51, is Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new Colonel Sanders. The Dirty Work comedian has taken over the role from another SNL alum, Darrell Hammond, 59, in a new round of weird and oddly funny commercials for KFC.
Darrell began to appear as the KFC’s famed founder and mascot in a May 2015 ad campaign, as the fast food chain wanted to “pay homage to KFC’s history,” the company said in an Aug. 17press release. Darrell seemed like a perfect fit, since he was known for his impressions during his near 15-year stint with SNL. In fact, Darrell reportedly held the record for most impersonations with 107, until Kenan Thompson broke the record in 2014.
