Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on June 16, 1971)

Happy Birthday, J. Keith van Straaten! From outsmarting geeks on VH1's "Beat the Geeks" to charming audiences with your quick wit and endless trivia knowledge, you've proven that being a geek is not just cool—it's legendary. Your clever banter and comedic timing have made every episode unforgettable.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success, and plenty of obscure pop-culture references only you could effortlessly deliver. May your birthday be as entertaining as your best hosting moments—and may no one dare challenge you in trivia today (unless they're prepared for hilarious defeat). Cheers to many more years of geeky greatness!
