Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on December 31, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Gerry Dee! Congrats on another year of laughing your way through life (and making the rest of us chuckle right along with you). From your brilliant stand-up bits that earned you the Canadian Comedy Award in 2008 to teaching hilarious classroom lessons as “Mr. D,” you've truly mastered comedic report cards like no other.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer awkward parent-teacher conferences and more timeless punchlines and unforgettable screen moments. Thanks for all the laughs, Gerry—you're proof that Canadians are not only nice but also hilariously entertaining! Wishing you a year funnier than gym class dodgeball mishaps on “Mr. D.”
