Willis was tapped at the last minute when Letterman, suffering from an eye infection (which turned out to be shingles), called in sick for the first time in 20 years, not counting his absence for bypass surgery. The actor, who was scheduled to be a guest, interviewed DAN RATHER, who was touting his interview with Saddam Hussein, and Carmen Electra, touting her Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding. After debriefing Rather, Willis said, "That was the most serious conversation I've had in my whole life...

After his initial sale at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, he maxed out his credit cards and hit up his mom and brothers for cash to set up a small production plant in Baltimore. That fall, Dave Campo, then equipment manager for the Atlanta Falcons, admired Georgia Tech's shirts and ordered 100--with long sleeves to protect his players' arms against burns from artificial turf.
