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.

Kumail Nanjiani also had a role in the awful Kenobi series. Although of the three I think Kunal Nayyar is the one who had the least remarkable roles.

That's right. Also (among other things) for appearances in SNL.
