Actor Jon Hamm, known for his role as Don Draper on “Mad Men,” was named the 2025 Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The event, dating back to 1844, honored Hamm at a roast where he received the Pudding Pot award. Hamm expressed his gratitude for the honor and joked about the misconception that he was dead. The ceremony included a roast where Hamm was teased about his height, lack of an Academy Award, and comparisons to previous winners.
During the event, there were playful contests involving a Paul Rudd mask and a piece of deli meat, referencing previous winners and Academy Awards. The evening concluded with Hamm attending the 176th production of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ show, “101 Damnations.” The event was widely attended, and Hamm’s good-natured response to the humor showcased his versatility both on and off the screen. The celebration was a lighthearted and entertaining tribute to the talented actor.
