Anyone see the newest KFC ads with Rob Riggle as the Colonel? (He is also a Colonel (ret) in real life)

Regarding MF- I hope we see Gil Thorpe this season, I like his and Phil's rivalry.

I think I just saw him during Speechless - he was motivating a football team.

Edit: just saw another football related one during the new show after Black-ish. He talked about the $20 bucket "now with tenders".
