Stein talked to Entertainment Tonightand shared that he wasn't even slated to have a role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He was on the set one day, visiting a friend of his who was a producer of the movie, chatting with producer John Hughes.
Hughes told Stein he could only pay him $360, and Stein quipped that he'd pay Hughes instead. Stein was then told to go on the stage and make something up off the top of his head.
He recalled an impressed Broderick even asking if he'd ever done Broadway, and Stein revealed he had never acted previously. Because everybody laughed so hard at Stein's ad-libbing as an economics teacher, Hughes decided he wanted to capture it on camera.
Later that day, Stein recalled, he went home and told his wife he'd just had the best day of his life. She questioned that, thinking that he should consider their wedding day the best day of his life. He replied, "No, better than that" to her.
Stein "never dreamed" that the line he made up for the movie would become as iconic as it has. He also talked to Entertainment Tonight about the line in 1991 and admitted, "I still don't quite get why it's funny."
Even now, Stein shared, he does not understand why everybody thinks the line is so funny.
