🤓Don’s Bio🤓
America's #1 Nerdy Comedian
What do you get when you cross an Engineer with a stand-up comedian? You get Don McMillan. This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for audiences for over 20 years. In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you – you are just too busy working to notice. Don graduated from Stanford University with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He then went to work at AT&T Bell Labs where he was part of the team that designed the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor. He then moved to Silicon Valley where he helped launch the start-up company, VLSI Technology. Then after 15 years in the tech world, Don quit his job to become a stand-up comedian. That year he won $100,000 as the Comedy Grand Champion on “Star Search”. Don’s been seen on “The Tonight Show”, “HBO”, and the “Comedy Central”. These days, Don spends most of his time writing and performing customized corporate comedy shows for companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Ford Motors, and Exxon/Mobil.

When Christian Doppler divorced his wife and walked away, I bet she saw red!

Today was a very bad day for me, nobody died, but a very bad day nonetheless. Your channel lifted me up and got me through. Thank you from a retired engineer 🙏 nerd joke. Möbius strip walks into a bar, orders a drink and bursts into tears. The barman asks what’s wrong. The Möbius strip replies, where do I begin! Lol 😂

Just saw him in Fridley, MN. Broke my face, all his bits killed. Thanks Don!

Brutal book review: An infinite number of monkeys given an infinite amount of time would produce all of Shakespeare's works. This book: 3 monkeys, 10 days.

I saw one of your videos and instantly subscribed. You proved that observational science is funny. Thankyou!

[redstonerg.]

The last look he gave towards the audience was pure gold! It was like: oh boy I really corrupted some minds today with nerd jokes huh ? Oh well !

The little side note “my pants slipped below my nipples” had me laughing almost as much as the Doppler joke.

I hadn't encountered this bit before - pure 197Au. 👍

Other Worlds and This One by Cadwell Turnbull (Asimov’s?) “In the late nineteenth century, J.J. Thomson does an experiment that proves to everyone that electrons are particles, and they give him a Nobel Prize for his work. Thirty years later, George Thomson, the dude's son, does a similar experiment and proves that electrons are waves. They also give him a Nobel Prize.

Ok when someone got a great idea at times before Edison when a light bulb wasn't even invented? What appeared above their heads? A candle?

[jackielinde]

WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO PHOENIX? Seriously, need you to do a show here. I'd invite you to speak to the company I work for, but we're talking a healthcare firm and I don't think I can afford the copay.

[Extinguisher]

Having worked in the auto industry for nearly 2 decades I can tell you that engineers try to fix things that aren't broken all the time.

[SimpleGunner]

just saw the absolute zero YT short, and came searching for this.

[orac]

Just discovered your channel and comedy. It's great. You seem like the perfect person to start doing AI jokes, not sure why?

[judewarner]

Being nerdy, I have to say that Edison did not ''think'' of the light bulb. The incandescent filament bulb was first demonstrated by the English scientist Sir Humphrey Davy in 1802, nearly 80 years before Edison's belated, if successful, development.
