The Harvard Hasty Pudding drama troupe selected Amy Poehler as their Woman of the Year last week. And their Man of the Year selection is coming from the same Parks and Rec department. HastyPudding.org announced that Chris Pratt, Amy Poehler’s co-star has been given the distinction for 2015.

As for this being a “Parks and Recreation” only honor, Jason Hellerstein, President of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals said, “We vehemently deny that the members of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals are obsessed with Parks & Recreation”. Okay, but one of the runners up was the pony that played Li’l Sebastian.

Past recipients of the Man of the Year award include Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise, Robert de Niro, Harrison Ford, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Bruce Willis, Justin Timberlake, James Franco, and Neil Patrick Harris.

Chris Pratt has another big day coming up this year when the “Jurassic Park” sequel, “Jurassic World” opens nationwide on Friday, June 12th. Also, “Parks and Recreation” has started its final season and will have its finale on Tuesday, February 24th.

The Harvard Hasty Pudding ceremony and parade honoring Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt will be on Thursday, January 29th.
