Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on July 13, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Ian Hislop! May your day be filled with more laughs than a politician's expense claim and fewer awkward silences than an episode of "Have I Got News for You." Your razor-sharp wit has kept Private Eye thriving—and politicians squirming—for decades. Truly, you're the satirical superhero Britain didn't know it needed.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another record-breaking libel suit victory or yet another hilarious takedown on TV that leaves everyone speechless (except Paul Merton). Keep exposing hypocrisy and absurdity; after all these years, nobody does satire quite like you. Cheers!
