As per Variety, Neel Nanda, who was proud of his achievements, in a 2018 interview had said, “I would say my proudest accomplishment thus far in comedy is performing on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live. I’ve always wanted to do a set on late night, and ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ was my first choice. So the fact that it came together kind of blew my mind. I’ve performed on other networks like Comedy Central, Hulu, Viceland, etc., but ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ was the first place I performed where my parents were a fan of the host.”
Neel Nanda's legacy in the comedy world will undoubtedly endure, and his memory will live on through the laughter he brought to countless people around the globe.
