Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on August 13, 1972)

Happy Birthday, John Safran! May your day be filled with as much intrigue and hilarity as your adventures in "Race Relations." Your fearless exploration of life's absurdities has given us countless laughs—and a few awkward conversations at family dinners. Who else could turn cultural taboos into comedy gold?

From daring documentaries to gripping memoirs like "Murder in Mississippi," you've shown the world that truth is indeed stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Here's hoping this year brings you more fascinating stories, fewer run-ins with white supremacists, and plenty of material for future mischief.

Cheers to another year of brilliant irreverence!
