THE HASTY PUDDING THEATRICALS ANNOUNCES
JON HAMM
AS 2025 MAN OF THE YEAR
CAMBRIDGE, MA (January 14, 2025) – The Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the oldest theatrical
organization in the United States, announces JON HAMM as the recipient of its 2025 Man of
the Year Award. From his iconic performances in Fargo, Landman, Grimsburg, Top Gun:
Maverick, Baby Driver, and Your Friends and Neighbors, to his Primetime Emmy and Golden
Globe Awarded role in Mad Men, the Pudding is proud to celebrate a truly unique and impactful
presence in the world of entertainment.
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ Man and Woman of the Year Awards are presented annually to
performers who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment.
The Man of the Year award was established in 1967, with past recipients including Clint
Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds, and
last year’s recipient Barry Keoghan, the 57th Man of the Year.
The Man of the Year festivities will take place on Friday, January 31st, 2025. The Hasty Pudding
Theatricals will host a celebratory roast for Mr. Hamm at 6:00pm and present him with his
Pudding Pot at Farkas Hall, the Pudding’s historic home in the heart of Harvard Square since
1888. A press conference will follow the roast at 6:20pm. Afterwards, Mr. Hamm will attend a
preview of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ 176th production 101 Damnations.
“Let’s hope our roast doesn’t give him any heart palpitations—he’s had enough drama with that,”
said Producer Willow Woodward. “But with his work ethic, we’re confident he’ll take on our
stage with as much grit as Texas oil fields. He’s the perfect man to strike gold and earn his
Pudding Pot this January.”
“We are beyond excited to honor Jon Hamm as our 2025 Man of the Year,” said President Cathy
Stanton. “Of course, to claim his Pudding Pot, he’ll have to prove he’s the real Jon
Hamm—we’ve seen how good he is at keeping an identity under wraps!”
