Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on October 08, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Chevy Chase! From your hilarious pratfalls on "Saturday Night Live" to endless mishaps in the iconic “Vacation” films as Clark Griswold, you've taught us one critical lesson: laughter truly is timeless—although roadside attractions and holiday lights are definitely not foolproof. Your comic genius continues to inspire chuckles generations later.

Whether joyfully bumbling through family chaos or cracking up audiences with sharp-witted humor, you're an irreplaceable comedy legend whose legacy grows brighter each year (much like Clark’s ambitious Christmas decorations). Here's hoping today's celebration goes smoother than a Griswold vacation! Stay funny, Chevy—they don't make’em like you anymore.
