Curb Your Enthusiasm s09e01: The Office US fans pleased to see David Wallace landed on his feet

The former Dunder Mifflin CEO and inventor of Suck-It!

Jimmy Kimmel and Carrie Brownstein were the big name cameos in Curb Your Enthusiasm's season 9 return tonight, but, for The Office fans, it was Andy Buckley's brief stint that was cause for excitable tweeting - none other than Dunder Mifflin's embattled CFO, David Wallace.

Wallace had a rough ride over the course of The Office's nine seasons, being fired from the company at one point, losing his handle on reality and inventing a children's toy named 'Suck-It!'.

Though he would return to the paper company as its CEO, there were question marks as to whether he would hold it together.

Buckley wasn't technically playing Wallace in Curb, of course, but the similarity between Wallace and Buckley's FBI director character was good enough for fans to believe him saved.

Curb's season 9 opener saw Larry David get issued with a fatwa over the musical he was working on, the FBI having to advise him on how to escape assassination.

There are plenty more cameos on the way this season, including: Bryan Cranston, Lauren Graham, Nick Offerman, Elizabeth Banks, Ed Begley Jr., Nasim Pedrad, Elizabeth Perkins, June Diane Raphael, Casey Wilson, Andrea Savage, Damon Wayans Jr., Steven Weber, Katie Aselton and Judge Judy Sheindlin.
