Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the oldest undergraduate drama troupe in the country, has named Neil Patrick Harris as its Man of the Year. According to a press release the group’s website, Harris assumes the honor is a result of “that pudding wrestling competition I won last April…right? It was dark and seemed quite seedy at the time – I’m stoked that it’s connected with Harvard. Fancy! Can’t wait!” In actuality, it was in recognition for his achievements as an actor, host, director and more. Following tradition, the honor comes with a roast which will be held on February 7. The group’s 2014 Woman of the Year is Dame Helen Mirren. Past honorees in clyde Clint Eastwood, Katharine Hepburn, Jodie Foster, Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro.
