Comedian Amy Poehler is being feted by Harvard University's famed theater troupe with a parade and roast.
The Golden Globe-winning "Parks and Recreation" star and "Saturday Night Live" alum has been named 2015 Woman of the Year by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.
Poehler was paraded from Harvard Square to the theater hall Thursday afternoon with a boisterous marching band, costumed marchers and a duck boat in tow.

She'll be roasted later by Jason Hellerstein, president of the student group, and vice president Samuel Clark and receive her award -- a ceremonial pudding pot.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" star and fellow "Parks & Recreation" cast member Chris Pratt has been named 2015 Man of the Year. He will get his own parade and roast Feb.6.

The annual awards go to performers who have made "lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment." Last year's winners were Helen Mirren and Neil Patrick Harris.
Poehler has a 2014 Golden Globe award and five Emmy nominations for her role as Leslie Knope on "Parks and Recreation," an NBC comedy series.
Students and fans who lined Massachusetts Avenue for the parade held signs declaring "Leslie Knope for president" and shouting, "We love you Amy!" as she made her way down the back seat of a convertible Bentley.
Poehler spent seven seasons on "Saturday Night Live" and was a founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City.
