Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on January 05, 1940)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael O'Donoghue! The comedic genius who gave us unforgettable laughs as Saturday Night Live's first head writer, your Emmy-winning sketches from 1976 and 1977 still have audiences chuckling decades later. Your sharp wit at National Lampoon magazine set a humor standard that few can match—though many hilariously try.

From crafting outrageous skits to pushing comedy boundaries, you've always reminded us not to take life too seriously (or ourselves). May your birthday be filled with laughter worthy of an SNL sketch—and may no one dare give you socks unless they're funny ones. Cheers!
