Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on December 02, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Kent Shocknek! You've spent decades waking up Los Angeles with your signature wit and charm—earning eight Emmy Awards along the way. Clearly, you're proof that early mornings and late nights can lead to greatness (and perhaps a strong cup of coffee or two).

From anchoring groundbreaking newscasts to gracefully handling unexpected on-air moments, you've become an iconic figure in LA journalism. Your ability to deliver news with both authority and humor has made you unforgettable. Here's hoping your birthday is as timeless as your legendary broadcasts—and may it be filled with fewer breaking stories and more cake!
