About Don McMillan
Don McMillan spent the first part of his working life designing chips, and his comedy still comes out of that world. He studied electrical engineering at Lehigh University and then at Stanford University, joined the team at AT&T Bell Laboratories that designed the world's first 32-bit microprocessor, and later worked as a computer chip designer at VLSI Technology in Silicon Valley.
When he switched to comedy, the engineering became the material. His stand-up is built on technical and corporate humour, and a large part of his work is performed for company audiences. The routine he is best known for, Life After Death by PowerPoint, makes fun of slide presentations and found its audience both on YouTube and at live corporate events.
Television has used him as an actor as well as a comic: he appeared in Star Trek: Voyager and Babylon 5. He also competed on America's Got Talent and advanced to the live shows before being eliminated.
