Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on November 25, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Ben Stein! Bueller? Bueller? Anyone seen the birthday cake yet?

From your iconic monotone roll call in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" to making economics oddly entertaining and winning our hearts (and money) on game shows—your dry wit remains timeless. You've proven that humor doesn't need volume; sometimes a deadpan stare says it all.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success, and perhaps finally getting an answer from Ferris himself. May today be as memorable as your best moments—and may no one ever skip out when you're calling attendance again!

Enjoy every moment—you've earned it!
