Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on November 20, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Dick Smothers! Half of the brilliant duo whose sibling banter redefined comedy, your legendary moments alongside Tom still delight us. From your iconic folk parodies and witty exchanges ("Mom always liked you best!") to groundbreaking satire on 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,' you've made audiences laugh—and think—while earning that well-deserved 1969 Emmy for Best Writing.

Whether skillfully plucking your bass or masterfully handling brotherly teasing with class and humor, the joy you brought continues in countless reruns and cherished memories. Here's wishing you another fantastic year of timeless laughs—we promise not to tell Tom you're our favorite today!
