I was actually awarded free Kentucky Fried Chicken for life for doing a haircut of Colonel Sanders in a kid’s head. If you Google ‘Free KFC for life,’ the haircut and articles will pop up. I was on a TV show with Cedric the Entertainer on the CW called Cedric's Barber Battle and I won 1st place and $15,000.
