    Things they're best known for:

    Dinesh from Silicon Valley

    Raj from Big Bang Theory

    Kumar from Harold and Kumar, and also the Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Engagement during the Obama Administration

    I would say that Kumail Nanjiani might also be well-known these days for being the guy who had a role in the Marvel flop "Eternals," and a subsequently hilarious press junket and social media tour.

    And Kal Penn was also Dr. Kutner in "House MD," which was mostly notable because his character was suddenly and unceremoniously killed off so that Penn could go work for Obama.

    And then left that show to join the Obama administration. Seriously.

    I was sure this was a troll when it happened, but no, it was real. Does anyone know if he did a good job?

    As I recall, he was a perfectly competent staff member. I think he worked on the speechwriting team? It was a while ago, now, so I don’t remember most of the details.

    Iirc, he only worked in the first Obama administration, and then returned to Hollywood. Apparently, having a perfectly normal job for four years was enough.

    Kumail Nanjiani is a comedian and actor. He was in Silicon Valley and more recently he got shredded for Marvel's Eternals. He's pretty funny.

    he got shredded for Marvel’s Eternals

    Without your comment for context, I thought he was being blamed for how bad/mediocre Eternals was

    Same here, I don't watch TV so I'm clueless.

    I do know who Sarah is, my favorite role of hers was in The Way of the Gun and she gets decked.
