Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on July 28, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Walter! From anchoring Chicago's evening news with unmatched charisma to raising the brilliant talent behind our favorite House doctor, you've truly mastered the art of storytelling—both on-air and at home. Your insightful reporting and engaging presence have made you a beloved figure in countless living rooms across Chicago.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as many memorable moments as your legendary broadcasts. May this year bring you even more success, laughter, and perhaps fewer dramatic diagnoses than your son's TV counterpart deals with daily. Cheers to another year of being timelessly awesome—stay classy, Walter!
