But being the runner-up isn't all bad news to Jackson. The 29-year-old New Yorker was offered a one-week stint as Chief Sales Officer at fast-food chain KFC. The company was not immediately available to say if Jackson would take the job.
If Jackson accepts, the company said he will be involved in the launch of the company's Oven Roasted chicken product line.
Jackson would actually be paid more than Rancic, at least for one week. KFC, a unit of Yum Brands Inc. (YUM: Research, Estimates), said it would give him $25,000 for the one-week job, along with a year's supply of KFC products.
