“He is one of the most loveliest men to be around, he always gives you deep connection, full attention, authenticity and some of the deepest belly-laughs that I can remember.”

Bateman, 48, was joined by his family and former Arrested Development co-stars Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter.

Arnett, who was previously married to comedy star Amy Poehler, said his “brother” Bateman is one of the funniest people he has ever met.

“Truly nobody makes me laugh harder, deeper and in a more profound way than this man right here,” he said.
