I think this story sums up my career the best. One time I was walking in an airport somewhere and I saw this woman with her young son. The son looked up at me and it was obvious that he recognized me. He thought for a second and he said 'Mom, there goes an old Gomer!'

Considered by Carol Burnett to be her "good luck charm" and as such was a guest star on each season's premiere of "The Carol Burnett Show" (1967).

Sings "Back Home Again in Indiana" during opening ceremonies of the Indianapolis 500 yearly.

Earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from the University of Alabama.

Before he acted, he edited news footage for a local television station.

Born and raised in Sylacauga, Alabama, Nabors moved to Southern California because of his asthma.

In 1994, Nabors suffered from a near-fatal case of hepatitis B. According to Nabors, he contracted the disease while traveling in India; he shaved with a straight razor and "whacked [his] face all up". The disease caused liver failure, and Nabors was not given a hopeful prognosis; however, his friend Carol Burnett made an arrangement with the transplant division of UCLA and secured Nabors a transplant.

There has been speculation that Nabors is gay. That speculation may have been fueled, in part, by a story that began circulating in the 1970s. The story stated Nabors and then-closeted actor Rock Hudson were to marry. Though supposedly intended as a joke (with the punchline being that Hudson would then be known as "Rock Pyle", or that Nabors would be "getting a piece of the rock" or that Rock would be getting a "good nabor policy"), the rumor was picked up by media and spread across the country.
