The casting of Reba McEntire as the new Colonel Sanders for KFC is notable for a few distinct reasons.
The Colonel Sanders KFC commercials often rely on jokes and a single character talking into the camera, but true to the country music theme of Reba McEntire’s casting, this one seems to have dialed up the energy quite a bit.
Moreover, she’s also noteworthy because she’s the first woman to step into the role as the iconic restaurant figurehead.
