Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on February 24, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Jerry! Another year wiser and still the only guy we know who can juggle a Peabody, an Emmy, and an Edward R. Murrow Award without breaking a sweat—or dropping one on his foot. Your legendary newsroom leadership at MSNBC set standards so high that even your coffee mug deserves its own award.

From groundbreaking journalism to unforgettable storytelling, you've always known how to keep us informed—and laughing along the way. May this birthday be as timelessly brilliant as your career highlights (and hopefully involve fewer deadlines). Cheers to you, Jerry—here's wishing you another headline-worthy year ahead!
