| Don McMillan graduated from Stanford University with a Master's
Degree in Electrical Engineering. He went to work for AT&T Bell
Laboratories where he was part of the team that designed the
world's first 32-bit Microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon
Valley where he worked at VLSI Technology as a computer chip
designer. During his six years at VLSI he designed more than
50 Standard and ASIC Designs many of which are still in systems
today.
But after winning the 16th Annual San Francisco International
Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 1991, Don turned in his chips
for a microphone. He went on to be $100,000 Grand Champion on
"Star Search" in 1993.
He's had numerous television appearances including "The Tonight
Show" on NBC, CNN's "The Larry King Show", MTV's "Half Hour
Comedy Hour", and A&E's "Evening at the Improv". Nowadays, you
can catch Don headlining comedy clubs from "The Improv" to "Catch-A-Rising
Star" across the country.
You most likely have seen Don as the star of fifteen national
commercials for Budweiser Beer. He plays the Bud delivery guy
who mans the "freshness hotline" and protects the world against
"skunky" beer. He can also be seen in commercials for 7-11,
Franco-American Ravioli, Little Caesar's Pizza, ServiStar Hardware,
and United Airlines. Don has guest starred on the TV series
"Babylon 5", "City Guys", and "Step by Step".
He has appeared in three feature length films: "Macon County
Jail", "Party Crashers", and "Fanatics". He has also been profiled
in both "Entertainment Weekly" and "TV Guide".
Don has not lost contact with his high-tech roots. He's performed
over 100 shows for major corporations around the United States
including Apple, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and Novell. Don's corporate
show utilizes his unique background to take a lighthearted look
at computers, t echnology, and the high-tech lifestyle. He is
the only stand-up comedian working who references "Avagadro's
Number", "DRAM", and he Beta tests all his jokes.

"Don
did a fantastic job and he was great to work with! I think many
attendees felt like the evening's entertainment could have been
just him
and not the "traditional" stuff that followed. We
are very pleased with
how it all turned out." - Brian Thomas, The International Society for Optical Engineering
