Didn't he do well? TV legend Bruce Forsyth celebrates his 80th brithday today and the entertainer is still going strong.
Bruce, who has been in showbusiness for more than 60 years, won over a brand new generation of viewers in the past few years with the huge success of Strictly Come Dancing.
Since the 50s he has fronted a string of hit shows including Sunday Night At The London Palladium, The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price Is Right.
He's also launched some of TV's best catchphrases - "Nice to see you, to see you nice", "You get nothing for a pair - not in this game" and our personal favourite: "Here they are, they're so appealing - go on dollies, do your dealing."
BBC1 celebrates Brucie's birthday with a special tribute show on Sunday night at 6.35pm featuring the likes of Ronnie Corbett, Liza Minnelli and even Miss Piggy.
Happy Birthday Bruce! Long may you continue! Leave your birthday messages...
