Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on December 26, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Bill Lawrence! The comedic genius behind "Scrubs" and "Cougar Town," whose shows have taught us that laughter truly is the best medicine—though we're still debating if wine counts as medicine. Your knack for turning everyday awkwardness into timeless comedy has given us countless memorable moments.

From JD's endless daydreams to Jules' hilarious wine-fueled antics, you've created characters we can't help but love (and occasionally cringe at). Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer awkward pauses than a typical Scrubs episode and more laughs than Cougar Town's weekly wine night. Cheers to another year of comedic brilliance!
