Howdy 'merica! Colonel Sanders is back. Again. But for real this time.
Like Batman, Superman and James Bond, he's too big of a character for one man to bring to life. So, after re-introducing the Colonel to the world for KFC's 75th Anniversary with Darrell Hammond, we decided to do it again a few months later with Norm MacDonald.
And boy, did it cause quite a stir. The Colonel's fried poultry empire was trending on Facebook and Twitter for two days straight and garnered over 1.84 billion media impressions. Now, that's a lot of chicken chatter.
NB: To all my English friends, here's a bit of background on Norm:
1. He was on five seasons of Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s.
2. Comedy Central named him #83 on the show "The Greatest 100 Stand-Ups Of All Time".
3. He told this joke.
