Willis Visits ‘Mad About You’

Sun., April 6, 1997

New York Daily News

Big-time movie star Bruce Willis, who first found fame in the 1980s working alongside Cybill Shepherd in ABC’s “Moonlighting,” is returning to series TV. For one night, that is.

What drew him back?

Turns out he’s a die-hard fan of NBC’s “Mad About You,” and agreed to participate in a star-studded season finale, which will air May 20.

Besides Willis, the hour-long episode will also include guest appearances by Carol Burnett, Carroll O’Connor, Eric Stoltz, Estelle Getty and Michael Moore.

The season-ender includes the season-long awaited birth of Paul (Paul Reiser) and Jamie (Helen Hunt) Buchman’s baby.

Hank Azaria, Hunt’s real-life squeeze, will also appear in the episode.
