Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on April 20, 1968)

Happy Birthday, J.D.! Here's hoping your celebration is bigger than "The Biggest Loser" finales and filled with more surprising moments than an episode of "Opportunity Knocks." You've taught us the true meaning of resilience, excitement—and watching contestants sprint dramatically toward goals we pretend we'll hit next Monday.

Seriously though—whether you're creatively transforming lives on television or giving families chances they didn't know sooner would knock twice—you make reality TV practically classy. May your cake be calorie-free (or at least guilt-free), and may this year offer you prizes even better than anything behind Door #1. Cheers to success!
