Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on February 05, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Christopher Guest! May your celebrations crank up well beyond eleven this year—fitting for the genius behind "This Is Spinal Tap," still making us laugh so hard we forget we're watching a mockumentary. Your ability to perfectly parody rock excesses while playing guitar solos with straight-faced hilarity remains unmatched.

From satirizing dog shows in "Best in Show" to turning absurd ensembles into comedy gold on Saturday Night Live and beyond, you've reshaped comedic storytelling forever. Wishing you another lap around Stonehenge-sized laughs and applause louder than a spontaneously combusting drummer; here's hoping the coming year delivers plenty of improv brilliance!
