Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 22, 1945)

Happy Birthday, David Chase! May your day be filled with more surprises than a Sopranos finale and fewer awkward silences than Tony's therapy sessions. Your storytelling genius has given us unforgettable moments—from the quirky charm of Northern Exposure to the gritty brilliance of The Sopranos—proving that nobody does complex characters quite like you.

Thanks for mentoring Matthew Weiner; without you, we'd never have Mad Men’s Don Draper sipping whiskey at noon or Peggy Olson breaking glass ceilings. Here's hoping your birthday is as timelessly entertaining as your iconic creations—and may it end on a note slightly less ambiguous!
