Happy birthday to entertainers like Don King, Ke Huy Quan, and Demi Lovato! Keep on reading to see who else is celebrating their birthday and some career highlights!

Celebrity birthday highlights for August 20, 2025:

• Boxing promoter Don King (1931) made headlines as big as his hair by landing Ali versus Foreman in "The Rumble in the Jungle" and Ali versus Frazier III, the "Thrilla in Manila." Those mega-cards, followed by the blockbuster Tyson and Holyfield bouts he promoted, defined the sport’s commercial boom.

• Actor Ray Wise (1947) seared himself into TV history as Leland Palmer in "Twin Peaks" and its prequel "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me." That mix of grief and menace, alongside his icy turn as Leon Nash in "RoboCop," marks the peak of a career built on unforgettable villains.

• Weatherman Al Roker (1954) turned forecasts into comfort TV and parlayed that warmth into authorship. Recent highlights include a visit to "The Great American Recipe" and a family cookbook collaboration that hit shelves in October 2024.
