It was a star-studded date night for the ages in New York City on Wednesday, October 18, as many of the city's elite came together for the 2023 Good+Foundation "A Very Good+ Night of Comedy" Benefit at Carnegie Hall.
Several comedians were in attendance and took to the stage with many varied performances to raise funds for Good+Foundation's "works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with innovative services for low-income fathers, mothers and caregivers, creating an upward trajectory for the whole family."
One of the many A-listers in attendance was journalist and ABC's new 20/20 host Deborah Roberts, who wore a beautiful black and pink floral pantsuit.
She was flanked by her husband and another beloved TV personality, the Today Show's longtime weatherman Al Roker, who was dressed in a smart pinstripe suit with a lavender tie.
"Sometimes it feels good to laugh for a bit even when times are tense," she wrote alongside pictures shared on social media. "It was a much needed night of fun while supporting the good work being done by @goodplusfdn to help support troubled families."

Ali's two closest friends in the celebrity world were also there, those being Will & Grace star Debra Messing and Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay, who brought along her husband Peter Hermann.
