“Curb Your Enthusiasm” came roaring back from a six year hiatus with a New York City premiere at the SVA Theater on Wednesday night. Comedy peers from Netflix (Aziz Ansari), HBO (John Oliver), and “Saturday Night Live” (Pete Davidson) were amongst the friends and fans of Larry David and company.
J.B. Smoove greeted Ansari at the after-party at TAO Downtown.
“SNL” rehearsals for this weekend’s season premiere must have finished early. Davidson attended with his girlfriend, Cazzie David. (Her father was the man of the night.)
Iraq war veteran and veterans’ rights advocate Kate Norley with her husband, John Oliver. HBO renewed “Last Week Tonight” through 2020.
Cheryl Hines, husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Keegen-Michael Key tucked into a banquette. These three were just together in L.A. on Emmy weekend at the Creative Coalition’s awards. Hines hosted that event, where Kennedy and Key accepted honors for their charitable work.

F. Murray Abraham (far left) led a lineup of guys hitting the carpet at the SVA Theater. The crew included radio hall of famer Ira Glass, designer Kenneth Cole, and professional boxer and cancer survivor Danny “Miracle Man” Jacobs.

Smoove with Susie Essman. When we last saw “Curb,” Mayor Bloomberg had humiliated Larry David for slights against Michael J. Fox and David self-exiled to Paris. Somehow, he was back in the big city.
“Sopranos” alums Aida Turturro and Lorraine Bracco sandwiched the late James Gandolfini’s son, Michael. The young Gandolfini has a bit part in the upcoming “Ocean’s Eight.”
