Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 04, 1944)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Frank Alesia! From your unforgettable performances on screen, to directing Captain Kangaroo with such charm and wit that even Mr. Moose couldn't resist tossing confetti in celebration—your talent has always been Emmy-worthy (literally!). Your 1979 Daytime Emmy nomination remains a timeless testament of how you turned children's television into pure magic.

Frank, you've proven time after time that laughter truly is ageless—and so are classic TV moments. May this birthday bring as much joy as all those mornings spent entertaining generations of kids who grew up smiling because of you. Cheers to another year filled with humor, happiness, and perhaps fewer surprise ping-pong balls dropping from above!
