Colonel Sanders on "What's My Line?"
This isn't some sort of bizarre spoof. It's an episode of "What's My Line" from way back in '63.
Seems incredible that there was a time when the iconic "Colonel" [and man most associated with having his face on a bucket] ever went unrecognised.
For those who can't be arsed to watch all the way through, my favourite question in this clip come at 4mins 15 seconds.
Panellist: "It is used at cocktail parties, Colonel?"
Col. Sanders: "Yes, it could be".
That's some classy cocktail party, Colonel.
Anyhow, the whole thing made me realise again what a great advertising property "Finger Lickin' Good" was. Also made me wonder how he always kept his suits so spotlessly white what with all that fried chicken around.

He was a pretty interesting character - went completely Tom Waits broke at 60 and hit the road with his welfare cheque selling his chicken recipe. He would later sue KFC.
