Its official premiere took place Monday night in Los Angeles, and although attempts were made to arrange a Grand Rapids event, scheduling conflicts with cast members prevented it. Grand Rapids-based theater chain Celebration Cinema staged an “Aziz to G.R.” campaign on Twitter, but the star tweeted in reply, “Unfortunately with the ‘Parks and Rec’ shooting schedule I can’t come to GR. But have an LD at Marie Catrib’s for me please.”

The “LD” refers to The Larry David sandwich at Catrib’s, one of Ansari’s favorite restaurants while he was in Grand Rapids. The actor and stand-up comic often was spotted in local restaurants and bars during filming, and performed two sold-out shows at Dr. Grin’s comedy club. In a recent cast interview on MTV, Swardson joked that Ansari was “mayor of Grand Rapids” for the few weeks he was here.
