B.J. Novak gets 'pardoned' for an elaborate prank he pulled as a teenager at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston: 'Thank you MFA for your sense of humor and mercy'


Actor/writer/director B.J. Novak returned to his old stomping grounds in Boston last Friday, where he was 'pardoned' for a prank he pulled 27 years earlier.

The pardon added that the prank was, 'a stunt that both confused countless visitors and reminded us that even the pettiest and sophomoric pranksters among us can leave an impact on a historic, national institution.' He also shared an image from a newspaper clipping that sheds more light on the prank, which called Novak's rerecording, 'a less-than-scholarly guide to the display of ancient Chinese art.'
