Animatronic Colonel Sanders at Colonel Sanders Museum + Kentucky Derby Museum - Louisville, KY

[@DanBellFilmIt]

that’s probably one of the most realistic celebrity animatronics i’ve ever seen.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

It really blew me away

[@mikehughes4969]

My grandfather knew Colonel Sanders. He did a lot of traveling for his business, and happened through Corbin, and spent the night at the Colonel's hotel a few times. This is long before the Colonel became a celebrity. I like to think the room they have in the museum is one of the ones my grandpa stayed in. It's probably not, but it could be, and that's what I like to think.

I have no problem sharing my weight, people can make fun of me if they want

[@braves9652]

You're wrong. People look up to you. Including myself. I am fairly new on here, but I see you have a loyal group of subs who look up to you. You have a cute and bubbly girlfriend. You bought your own house recently (again, lol, that's so cool), and you're a great dad. Your channel is fun, and your subscriber list is moving pretty rapidly in the right direction. Congratulations, not only can I not find anything to make fun of, I see so much to look up to. Forget the ones who hide behind a screen trying to make you feel down. Keep on being you! 💜☮️🎶🐾🇺🇸💓

Col. Sanders owned a house on my street as a kid. He was always great with the neighborhood kids during his years living in the Toronto area. He did alot of great things for the community back then.

[@carypyke935]

I feel so blessed ..ive met Col.Sanders and the Carpetbagger !!!

Ive traveled to Louisville a few times following my Clemson Tigers football team. Game day routine is The Louisville Slugger factory tour mid morning. Then head to Churchill Downs to pretend to understand horse racing for a few hours. From there its a short walk to the UofL football stadium. You can just leave your car in the race track parking lot. Its a very unique and affordable way to spend a game day. Always end the day with a Hot Brown. UofL fans are always very nice, great trip if FB is your thing. Go Cards!

[@stoshie1017]

You are a Tiger fan traveling to Louisville, and I am a Cards fan living 20 mins from Clemson. What a very small world.

I live by the Kroger makes the garland of roses and go watch them make it every year. Festive month in Louisville. We have paddle boat races, fireworks, parades, and hot balloon races In April. Come to some of those events.

[@ChanceTalksBusiness]

Definitely knew Colonel Sanders first name was Harland. That Colonel Sanders animatronic is awesome!

[@Snorklefester]

My father met Col. Sanders when he came to Australia as part of a delegation of American businesses. I have a photo of them sitting next to each other chatting at a dinner held in honour of Colonel Sanders and he's ancient and wearing his trademark white suit and string tie. It's surreal. Awesome to see where he's from.

[@jcg336]

Cool story! Did they serve him chicken? 😅

[@roxannmapes-clute4669]

That Colonel Sanders is amazing. Even better that some at Disney.

Welcome back to Louisville Kentucky you definitely need to come back for the Kentucky Derby and festival that starts 2 weeks before the derby with the largest fireworks show in the nation

[@SimplyGobsmacked]

I'm a horse lover and I've been to the Kentucky Derby Museum but it was long ago, looks like it's time for a revisit. Your intro was filmed at the grave of Barbaro. His story is a tragic one and made me question my lifelong love of thoroughbred racing. Barbaro was a magnificent horse, undefeated when he won the 2006 Kentucky Derby by 6.5 lengths, an accomplish last achieved in the 1940s. His jockey, riding him for the first time, said he never asked Barbaro for more power or speed, that horse did it for the sheer joy of competing. I'm convinced he would have been a Triple Crown winner if he hadn't fractured his right hind leg during the Preakness just two weeks after his Derby win. It was a catastrophic and graphic injury, broadcast in real time to millions of horse racing fans around the world. He underwent surgery and rehab at the New Bolton Center, Univ of Pennsylvania. Despite the best efforts of his outstanding medical team, Barbaro developed laminitis in his left hind leg and eight months after his spectacular "Run for the Roses," America's greatest living race horse was humanely euthanized, and buried at Churchill Downs. The whole thing was traumatic and heartbreaking. Your video just sent me down a Barbaro rabbit hole on YT. I just re-watched "The Story of the Hero Barbaro" and now I'm crying again. It's a sweet little documentary. Even if you don't know or care about racing, you have to appreciate this horse's spirit.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Always enjoy going to the Kentucky Derby!!!! 🐴🙂

I still remember the time I was sitting in class and the other kids started laughing at me and bullying me because I called KFC "Colonel Sanders".

You may not know this but KFC is pretty big in Malaysia 😂 we do everything with KFC, birthday 🎉, celebration, holidays and dinner. Also we know the first name because every restaurant have little reading section about Col Sanders 🍗. Fun fact i once working at KFC because i really love KFC 😂🍗❤

Thanks for the wonderful video Jacob as I have family in Corbin ky and loved stopping in at the Sanders Cafe & Museum and have never visited the one in Louisville Ky but I have been in the Louisville International Airport and they have a KFC inside. lol I was raised on his chicken and love it to this day 🍗♥️

[@Savagemister]

Imagine a world where nobody recognizes him by looking at him. He was on an old game show in the early 60s "What's my line?" where celebs have to guess what someone's job is. There he sat and they asked him questions trying to figure out what he did for a living. He was even introduced as Colonel Sanders. The clip is here on KZbin

[@Savagemister]

I knew Harland. I mean, I knew it was his name.

[@amybutterbaugh7629]

To be honest, I didn't know Col. Sanders first name. But thanks to you Jacob I do now. Thank you.

[@ShelleeGraham]

I knew “Harlan” was Colonel Sanders first name, but I was born in the 1960s - so I grew up watching Kentucky Fried Chicken tv commercials. I think he referred to himself as “Harlan Sanders” in some television advertising.

Your leg position while standing on the horse was great! Good heels down! 👍

[@johnchambers8528]

Thanks for this great video. I think it is one of your best. Colonel Sanders was a major celerity when I was growing up. Our family enjoyed his chicken many times. Our family always enjoyed horse racing but mostly went to our local racetracks around Philadelphia. When I got older I made it a point to go to the Kentucky Derby. I got to attend the 100th running and that attendance stood for a record Derby day for many years. The grandstand and other stands were added later so now even more people can attend on Derby Day. I have not been back to Louisville since the Derby museaum was built so thanks for giving us a tour. By the way there is another good museum for horse racing at Saratoga, NY. Where there is another old historic race track that runs what’s called the summer Derby named the Travers steak. It is run in late August and also has a big party flavor to it. Have fun continuing bringing us to places we may never get to see otherwise but do remember to take rest breaks so we can look forward to many future adventures.

[@laurenc8305]

As a native Louisvillian, if you attend the Derby, make it a point to partake in some of our pre-Derby events! We have Thunder Over Louisville, the Great Balloon Race, the Pegasus Parade, bed races, the Steamboat race, & other events around town two weeks before the Derby takes place. (& yes, it is common knowledge for most people I know here in KY that Colonel Sander’s first name is Harland)

[@danielvogel9190]

I second Thunder Over Louisville!

Thank you for the video. Not sure if you are still around the Louisville area, but if you are, you might check out the Claudia Sanders restaurant. That is colonel sanders and his wife Claudia’s restaurant. If you ever head up to Illinois, I hear they have some new McDonald’s restaurant. (cosmcs I think?)

That animatronic is better than the ones at Disney! Did you see where Colonel Sanders is buried? It's called Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, and it has the same bust! Also Muhammad Ali is buried there, and there's a cool magician statue memorial.

[@acatic80]

I highly doubt that he went there or even the Louisville Slugger museum. We he post the choices....I automatically that Louisville Slugger. Heck, I didn't even think about the Colonial Sanders, KFC, or Kentucky Derby. Personally, I think Louisville Slugger is bigger, but that's just me.
