Out actor Neil Patrick Harris accepted
his Pudding Pot on Friday dressed in a wig, lingerie and red heels, a
possible nod to his upcoming Broadway role as Hedwig in Hedwig and
the Angry Inch.

Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals,
the oldest theatrical organization in the United States, named Harris
its 2014 Man of the Year.
“I felt remarkably good in heels,”
Harris said after the ceremony.
According
to People, Harris “cast a few spells, saved someone's life and
sang a jingle from Rent before being awarded the Hasty Pudding
Theatricals' annual Pudding Pot.”
Harris attended the theater's premiere
of Victorian Secrets after Friday's roast.
Harris joins Dame Helen Mirren, whom
the group recently named its 2014 Woman of the Year.
