Haliey Welch, known for her viral “Hawk Tuah” moment, is set to be inducted as an honorary member of the Harvard Lampoon, a prestigious humor magazine founded by Harvard undergraduates in 1876. The organization has previously honored notable figures like Aerosmith, Winston Churchill, and Billy Crystal.
Haliey confirmed the rumors during an interview in Los Angeles, saying she plans to head to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to accept the honor. Although she joked that she wouldn’t be attending Harvard as a student because she doesn’t consider herself “smart enough,” Haliey playfully compared herself to Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, showing her fun side.
The Harvard Lampoon has a rich history, with alumni such as Conan O’Brien, B.J. Novak, and Colin Jost. Haliey’s induction is another exciting chapter in the Lampoon’s long-standing tradition of inviting celebrities to be honorary members. During the interview, she also shared updates about her meme coin and her “Pookie.”
