On Tuesday, the show tweeted out a video teasing the “top secret guest star” for Friday’s show.

It has since been confirmed by the fried chicken company’s Twitter account.

According to a spokesperson from KFC, the episode will feature Colonel Sanders as he "flexes his computer coding skills and asks longtime friend Maxie for a favor involving his 11 secret herbs and spices." Catch the episode on Friday at 2pm E/T on WHAS11.
