Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on March 31, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Howard Gordon! May your day be as thrilling and suspenseful (but far less stressful) than an episode of "24." You've kept us glued to our screens with Jack Bauer's nail-biting countdowns and Homeland’s heart-pounding twists—proving that nobody does edge-of-your-seat drama quite like you.

Here's hoping this year brings fewer ticking clocks but just as many plot twists in all the best ways. Thanks for giving us countless sleepless nights binge-watching Carrie Mathison unravel conspiracies—we wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers to another season filled with success, laughter, and maybe a little less espionage-induced anxiety!
