Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on June 18, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Simon Dallow! Another year older and wiser—though we suspect your impeccable news anchor hair hasn't aged a day. From delivering breaking headlines on Newsnight to calmly navigating election night chaos with grace (and the occasional raised eyebrow), you've become New Zealand's trusted voice of reason.

Whether it's keeping us informed during major events or subtly cracking jokes that make even serious stories entertaining, you’ve mastered balancing professionalism with personality. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer teleprompter mishaps and more opportunities for witty banter live on air!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—you've certainly earned it!
