Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on March 31, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Dean Richards! Another year older and still the undisputed king of Chicago entertainment. Whether you're charming us on WGN-TV with your witty movie critiques or keeping our mornings lively on WGN-AM radio, you've proven that age is just a number—though we suspect you might secretly be reviewing movies in your sleep.

From interviewing Hollywood's biggest stars to hosting unforgettable segments that keep Chicago laughing, you've truly become an iconic part of our city's entertainment scene. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your legendary blooper reels have brought us!

Cheers to another blockbuster year ahead!
