Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on September 18, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Russ Abbot! From making us laugh until our sides hurt on "The Russ Abbot Show," to your unforgettable winks and wisdom from 1988 to 1991—your comedy keeps echoing down the decades. You've officially mastered timelessness better than a good old joke!

And let's not forget your iconic musical leap with "Songs of Joy" in 1990—you bravely showed that comedians can definitely hold a tune (or at least entertain us brilliantly while trying!). May your birthday be filled with endless laughs, joyful melodies, and reminders that you’ve always been spectacularly talented—and just slightly bonkers too!
