He then attended Harvard University, where he earned a degree in English and Spanish Literature, graduating in 2001. Novak worked in standup comedy and joined the show Punk'd in 2002, where he helped pull pranks on celebrities like Hilary_Duff and Mya. In 2005, he joined the team of The_Office as not only a cast member but also a producer and occasional writer. He also began making appearances in movies like Reign_Over_Me and Knocked_Up.
