Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals likes two things: honoring the top performers of the year and getting dolled up in (bad) drag. Fortunately they got to do both, when the Ivy League drama club chose Amy Poehler as its woman of the year.
The Parks and Rec star made it to snow-covered Boston yesterday to accept the Hasty Pudding's 2015 Woman of the Year award, and accept smooches from two undergrad members in drag.
Of course it's not all kisses—the Hasty Pudding honor also comes with a celebrity roast, and Poehler was no exception "Our Woman of the Year believes that if she collects enough Emmy nominations, she'll actually win one," joked one member.
Poehler, who grew up in nearby Burlington, was quick with a comeback. "I hope I treat this award with the respect any fake award deserves," she zinged, adding, "There are times in your career when you know you've made it, and seeing these two nervous baby faces [roast me] is truly an honor."
Chris Pratt will also get some drag-queen loving when he receives his Hasty Pudding Man of the Year award on February 6.
