Colonel Sanders is getting a makeover.

Say goodbye to the image you had of KFC's Colonel Sanders because he's getting a huge makeover. Actually, he may look pretty familiar to you the next time you see him, as the fast food giant has selected David Alan Grier to be the new face.

According to one of The Wiz Live! star's latest tweets, he will be the first African-American Colonel Sanders in their upcoming campaign.
