Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on October 02, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Clay Felker! The man who turned journalism upside down in 1968 by founding New York Magazine—proving once and for all that the Big Apple needed more than just bagels and Broadway. Your knack for spotting talent gave us legendary writers, groundbreaking stories, and a magazine that's still as vibrant today as your first bold issue.

From capturing the pulse of city life to redefining cultural commentary, you've always had an eye (and ear) for what's next. Here's hoping this birthday is filled with laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer deadlines than usual. Cheers to you, Clay!
