Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on February 28, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Chris Hayes! Another year older and wiser—though let's be honest, you've been dropping wisdom nightly on "All In" for years now. Whether you're passionately dissecting political chaos or calmly navigating heated debates with your signature glasses-and-tie combo, you make news feel like must-see TV.

From editing at The Nation to hosting MSNBC's most insightful segments (and occasionally making Twitter explode), you've proven that intelligence can indeed coexist with humor—even in politics. May this birthday bring fewer breaking-news interruptions and more time celebrating the fact that no one rocks nerd-chic quite as effortlessly as you do. Cheers!
