Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on May 10, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Bill Geist! May your day be more hilarious than the suburban zucchini epidemic you introduced us to. Your reporting has kept America chuckling—and slightly suspicious of their neighbors—for decades now.

Whether brilliantly capturing city life's absurdities in "City Slickers" or delighting readers through your clever columns for The New York Times and memorable segments on CBS News, you've made everyday anomalies unforgettable. Here's wishing the next chapter brings stories stranger than suburbia itself—although it's tough to beat a plague of garden vegetables running rampant!

Cheers to another year as sharp as your wit and warmer than an Illinois summer!
