- The role of Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show (1960) and Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964).
- Rich baritone singing voice
- He said that it has always been difficult for him to watch the opening of Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964) because many of the Marines that he is seen marching with were killed in Vietnam.
- 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).
- A smart businessman, Nabors was one of the owners of Gomer Pyle: USMC (1964) which paid off in dividends as a popular syndicated show.
- A foundation that awards grants to teachers every year named a grant in Nabors' honor (2003). The foundation is based in Sylacauga, Alabama, his home town.

- 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!'
- I never knifed anybody in the back. It was just not my nature at all and that is why I was so surprised that I made it in show business at all.
- It's pretty obvious that we had no rights as a couple, yet when you've been together 38 years, I think something's got to happen there, you've got to solidify something. And, at my age, it's probably the best thing to do. -- JN, on his same-sex marriage to life partner Stan Cadwallader in 2013
