Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on November 28, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Richard Osman! The man who turned trivia into a national sport and made us all feel smarter (or occasionally baffled) from our sofas. Whether you're gently teasing contestants on "Pointless," or keeping us guessing with your brilliant novels like "The Thursday Murder Club," you've proven that wit, charm, and towering intellect can indeed coexist in one very tall package.

From behind-the-scenes genius to front-of-camera favorite, your career has been anything but pointless. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given audiences everywhere—and may the coming year be filled with even more clever quips, bestselling mysteries, and delightfully obscure quiz questions!
