Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on November 24, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Merchant! May your day be filled with awkward pauses and hilariously uncomfortable silences—just like those brilliant moments you gave us in "The Office." Your impeccable comedic timing as the co-creator of cringe-worthy yet lovable characters has forever changed workplace humor. We still can't attend a dull office meeting without secretly wishing you'd scripted it.

Recently, you've dazzled audiences again with your sharp wit and charm in projects like "The Outlaws," proving once more that you're not just tall (really tall), but also incredibly talented. Here's to another year of laughter, success—and hopefully fewer low doorways!
