Leave it to Kiefer Sutherland to get to Cambridge in the middle of a blizzard. The actor best known for saving the world as Jack Bauer on the Fox show “24” made it to Harvard Square on Friday to be honored by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals as Man of the Year. French actress Marion Cotillard was honored as Woman of the Year the week before. The Man of the Year ceremony was held at the Charles Hotel instead of Harvard’s Farkas Hall after the campus was shut down because of blizzard Nemo. The night’s obligatory roast of Sutherland had him posing in a rather explosive undergarment and kissing student Adam Conner, who dressed up as Sutherland’s character in “The Three Musketeers,” according to the Harvard Crimson. The Hasty Pudding crew ended the night by previewing numbers from its new show, “There’s Something About Maui,” in the hotel’s Regattabar. Sutherland now stars in the Fox show “Touch,” which happened to have its season 2 premiere during Friday night’s festivities.
