  • While doing comedy acts on stage, he tends to often make his bodyweight an entertaining niche, saying “Oh, I’m not fat, I’m fluffy”, elaborating that there were 5 levels of fatness, “Big”, “Healthy”, “Husky”, “Fluffy”, and “DAMN!!!” Adding more humor to his sentence, Iglesias added that the 6th level says, “Oh Hello No!”.
  • In 2000, Iglesias appeared in the 6th season of the Nickelodeon sketch comedy series All That alongside Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon.

  • In 2006, he was a contestant on the 4th season of reality TV series Last Comic Standing. Though he surpassed the elimination to become one of the final 8 comics, he was disqualified for using smuggled BlackBerry to communicate with family and friends, which violated the rules of the show.

  • He cited Paul Rodriguez, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, and Bill Cosby as his comedy influences.
