Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on January 23, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Marty Beckerman! Another year older and still making us laugh harder than a New York Times editor reading your latest pitch. From Playboy to major publications worldwide, you've proven that journalism can be both insightful and hilariously irreverent—often at the same time.

Whether you're dissecting pop culture absurdities or bravely navigating life's awkward moments with razor-sharp wit, you remind us all not to take ourselves too seriously. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy (and fewer deadlines) as your best punchlines do for readers everywhere. Keep being brilliantly funny—you’re aging better than print media itself!
