Neil Patrick Harris has earned the title of Harvard's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year, and nope, we don't really know what that means either.

The award in question is an annual honor bestowed by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the oldest theatre organization located at Harvard.

Said festivities will take place on Feb. 7 and will come complete with a "celebratory roast" of the actor, after which he will receive his Pudding Pot at Farkas Hall, the location of the Hasty Pudding’s home in Harvard Square.

"I assume this is for that pudding wrestling competition I won last April...right?," NPH joked in a statement. "It was dark and seemed quite seedy at the time -- I'm stoked that it's connected with Harvard. Fancy! Can't wait!"

The Man of the Year Award has been handed out since it was established in 1951 and is given to, "performers who have made lasting contributions to entertainment."
