KFC chooses 'Seinfeld' star Jason Alexander as newest 'Colonel Sanders'
fox news ^

Posted on 08/06/2018 1:36:09 PM PDT by BenLurkin

“As the son of two working parents, there were plenty of dinnertimes when a bucket of chicken and all the fixins saved the day,” Alexander said in a press release. “It’s been fun to combine my personal love for KFC with my sitcom experience into a new take on the role of Colonel Sanders.”

Along with the news, KFC also debuted two of its newest sitcom-themed commercial campaigns starring Alexander, during which he seemingly solves a variety of household problems with buckets of chicken.

In a second 15-second ad, Alexander's "Colonel" comes to the aid of a family in need of a quick, chicken-based meal.

“Did someone say KFC has four ways to feed a family of four for only $20 bucks?” asks Alexander’s “Colonel” — with no discernible accent whatsoever — while carrying a comically large tray of chicken into the family’s home.

Not sure what a "discernable accent" might be.

KFC has priced themselves out of my business. Plus, bonus, extra small pieces of chicken with 1 to 2 pieces fewer than purchased! Wow! What a deal!

Hope it works out better for KFC than it did with McDonald's and their McDLT.

She was. I find these commercials weird. But then I find most of today’s commercials weird and off-putting. I do like Jason Alexander, though.

Imagine you start a billion dollar company from scratch, then after you’re dead, the entire ad campaign of that same company is about making you look like a comical jackass.

Who? Jason? I saw him years ago in Jerome Robbins’ Broadway (long before Seinfeld) where he did a mild soft shoe. Of course, who is going to compete with Jerome Robbins’ dancers?! But you probably know more than I do.

I saw Reba McIntire on B’way in Annie Get Your Gun. One of the greatest musical-comedy performances of my lifetime.
