Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on November 20, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Pat Kiernan! The man who wakes up New York City better than a double espresso and makes reading newspapers on TV look cooler than anyone else ever could. From your iconic "In the Papers" segment to hosting Crowd Rules and mastering trivia in The World Series of Pop Culture—you've proven that mornings can indeed be entertaining.

Here's wishing you another year filled with witty banter, memorable headlines, and fewer early morning alarms (though we know that's unlikely). May this birthday bring as much joy as you've brought NYC viewers every day—because let's face it: nobody delivers news quite like our favorite Canadian-born anchor. Cheers!
