Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on July 11, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Jay Johnson! Celebrating the genius who gave us Chuck—and his hilariously opinionated wooden pal Bob—in “Soap,” your comedic brilliance made talking to puppets cool long before smartphones made everyone appear equally unusual. Your skillful banter and authentic confusion over Bob’s reality entertained us with timeless charm and unmatched humor.

Wishing you another delightful year filled with success—real or imagined—as memorable as every scene where Chuck earnestly debated life's greatest mysteries with his confident puppet sidekick. Keep bringing laughter into our lives—we promise not to question who's really pulling the strings today!
