Vir Das is arguably at the peak of his career right now after winning the prestigious Emmy award.

He reminded Vir Das asking him “You remember you were once a dishwasher right?” The manager reminded Vir Das of his humble beginnings. It really puts into perspective how hardworking Vir Das is and what a long journey he has travelled.
