Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on May 15, 1940)

Happy birthday to Roger Ailes, the mastermind who revolutionized television when he created Fox News in 1996! Without your vision, millions might still be lost, endlessly flipping through channels trying to escape cooking shows and reality reruns.

Your incredible insight into media strategy changed politics forever—providing countless memorable moments and shaping countless debates. No one could spice up prime-time quite like you. Here's hoping your special day is packed with breaking news that's actually positive (and hopefully cake!).

Thanks for all those years of bold moves, strong opinions, and making punditry prime-time gold. Enjoy your day in headline-worthy fashion!
