Alexander is the latest celebrity to play the role of the fried chicken giant&rsquo;s founder, joining the likes of Rob Lowe and Reba McEntire.

&quot;As the son of two working parents, there were plenty of dinner times when a bucket of chicken and all the fixins saved the day. It&#39;s been fun to combine my personal love for KFC with my sitcom experience into a new take on the role of Colonel Sanders,&quot; Alexander said.

&quot;I am all-too-familiar with the challenge of family dinner. With four chicken meals to choose from and each at only $20, we are continuing KFC&#39;s tradition of providing an easy dinnertime solution for families at a great value &ndash; and there&#39;s no better person to spread the word about our new &#39;family of four&#39; in a sitcom setting than comedy extraordinaire Jason Alexander,&rdquo; KFC CMO Andrea Zahumensky added.
