Jessica Wohl, writing at Ad Age, on the new pitchman for KFC:

Vincent Kartheiser, better known as Pete Campbell to “Mad Men” fans, is the latest actor to step into a Colonel Sanders role. He’s playing the Nashville Hot Colonel and viewers can expect to see Mr. Kartheiser appear in a variety of ways in subsequent commercials. […]
