Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on September 29, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Patric Verrone! Another spin around the sun means you're officially seasoned enough to distinguish a Muppet from a mysterious space lobster or spot Zoidberg freeloading at your birthday buffet. Thanks for years of bringing Emmy-winning laughs with "Muppets Tonight" and keeping us entertained through Futurama’s interstellar escapades—you've made comedy smarter than Professor Farnsworth (though thankfully less senile!).

From ruling writer's rooms filled with talking frogs to leading as Writers Guild president, you've proven beyond doubt that writers really can write themselves into the captain’s chair. Wishing you timeless laughter today—and may Bender resist stealing all your presents this year!
