He is one of the most watched comedians on YouTube with over 2 billion views and over 34.6 million fans across social media. He was the 3rd highest grossing comedian of 2024 according to Billboard.
Iglesias has been included in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Top 40 Comedy Players” issue alongside comedy giants Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Lorne Michaels and was also honored with the cover of Variety’s comedy issue.

On TV, Iglesias is the star and executive producer of the Netflix original comedy series, Mr. Iglesias, which is currently streaming 3 seasons. Iglesias plays a good-natured public high school teacher who works at his alma mater. He takes on teaching gifted but misfit kids to not only save them from being “counseled out” by a bully bureaucrat Assistant Principal, but also to help them unlock their full potential. The show won best Primetime Comedy at The Imagen Awards, which recognizes positive portrayals of Latino actors/actresses in the entertainment industry.
In addition to his comedy series, Iglesias has released four stand-up comedy specials with Netflix. The first in 2016 with I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry, which was filmed at the sold-out Allstate Arena in Chicago to 20,000 fans. The second, One Show Fits All, was filmed in front of a sold-out audience at the Toyota Center in Houston and debuted in January 2019. The third, Stadium Fluffy premiered in October 2022 and was taped in front of a crowd of 55,000 fans at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where Iglesias made history as the first comedian to perform at and sellout the largest MLB stadium in the US.
In April of 2024, Iglesias reupped with Netflix for a new two-special deal. The first of the new specials, Gabriel Iglesias: Legend of Fluffy, taped at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida this summer and premiered worldwide January 7th, 2025, earning a top ten spot on Netflix’s global most watched list.
On March 11th, 2025, Iglesias cemented his place in Hollywood as he received his very on handprint ceremony at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre where he was recognized for his impressive achievements in his career. He joins a small group of artists and talent to receive this honor.
Last December, Iglesias co-starred Tim Allen in the second season of Disney+’s The Santa Clauses. Most recently he can be seen on NBC’s Lopez Vs. Lopez opposite George Lopez which premiered on NBC/Peacock.
Feature film credits include co-starring roles in Magic Mike, Magic Mike XXL and A Haunted House 2. Gabriel’s voice has been heard in many animated films including the recent Space Jam: A New Legacy as “Speedy Gonzales” streaming on MAX. In 2017, Iglesias voiced the role of “Head Clerk” in Pixar’s Academy Award nominated animated film Coco. He also voiced “Babo” in Ugly Dolls, “Rufus the Dog” in Sony’s Golden Globe nominated animated holiday film The Star and “Cuatro” in Fox 20th Century Film’s Academy Award nominated animated film Ferdinand. Gabriel is one of a handful of comedians with a theatrically released stand-up concert comedy film, The Fluffy Movie.
On the small screen, Fluffy’s Food Adventures, a non-scripted comedic docu-follow series completed a 3-season run on FUSE TV in 2017. Gabriel was a recurring guest star on the ABC sitcom Cristela, and also guest-starred in an episode of ABC’s hit comedy Modern Family. Comedy Central aired Iglesias’ hit series Stand-Up Revolution for 3 seasons. Comedy Central also aired Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy in an unprecedented two-night comedy special to over 15 million viewers. The special was a follow-up to his previous DVD specials, Hot & Fluffy and I’m Not Fat…I’m Fluffy, which have sold millions of copies.
Gabriel Iglesias is the youngest of six children, raised by a single mother in Long Beach, CA. It was during his childhood that he developed a strong sense of humor to deal with the obstacles he faced. In 1997, he set out to hone his comedic skills, and performed stand-up anywhere he could find an audience, including biker bars and hole-in-the-wall joints. Gabriel’s stand-up comedy is a mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters, and sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life. His unique and animated comedy style has made him popular among fans of all ages.

Otters put up 16 hits in series finale defeat
Evansville was once again able to score in the first inning to open the game up. A one-out walk from Graham Brown began the rally. Evansville would load the bases in the inning but only score one run on a Keenan Taylor hit-by-pitch.
In the bottom of the first frame, the Y’alls struck back. They sent 10 batters to the plate and scored five total runs in the inning to take a 5-1 lead.
Evansville continued to battle, getting one back in their half of the second after Graham Brown hit a sacrifice fly into center field to score Cohen Wilbanks.
With a 5-2 score going into the third, the Otters had some work to do. The inning started with two leadoff singles from LJ Jones and JJ Cruz. Raymond Gil had an RBI single to drive in Jones to begin the scoring in the third. Two batters later, Ty Crittenberger also had an RBI single for his second hit of the day.
Alain Camou added to the big inning with a hit into right center field. Cruz scored to tie the games and an errant throw from the Y’alls defense allowed Crittenberger to score as well, giving the Otters a 6-5 lead.
Florence would quickly bounce back in the bottom half, sending a solo home run over the right field wall to tie the game at six. An inning later in the fourth, a three-run home run gave Florence a 9-6 advantage.
Heading into the seventh, it was 11-6 after Florence scored two in their sixth inning. Wilbanks stepped up with bases loaded in the inning and delivered a single up the middle to collect an RBI and get Evansville one run closer. A couple of pitches later, Keenan Taylor would score from third on a passed ball.
Evansville added one more run in the eighth but it wasn’t enough as they fell 11-9. The Otters return home this week for a six-game homestand.

Lilly King Announces Retirement at End of Season Will Race for Last Time on U.S. Soil Next Week in Indianapolis
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Former Indiana swimming and diving star and Hoosier State native Lilly King on Saturday (May 31) announced her intentions to retire from her sport at the end of the 2025 season.
“Well folks, my time has come,” King wrote in an Instagram post.
“This will be my final season competing. I’m fortunate heading into retirement being able to say I have accomplished everything I have ever wanted in this sport. I feel fulfilled.”
King will swim at USA Swimming’s Toyota National Championships at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis next week, June 3-7.
“[…] It has always been important to me that my last meet in the (United States) be at the pool that started it all,” King said.” I have been racing in the IU Natatorium since I was 10 years old. From state meets, to (NCAA Championships), Nationals, and anything in between, this pool has been my home. I didn’t quite make it 20 years (only 18) of racing in Indy, but this is as close as I’m gonna get! I look forward to racing in front of a home crowd one last time.
“See you in Indy!”
Next week’s meet is also USA Swimming’s trials for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, giving King one more opportunity to race internationally. King is an 18-time world champion and 27-time world medalist.

Managing Indiana’s Water Resources

| Indiana is fortunate to have abundant natural resources – like water – that play a vital role in our state’s success.
This year, Senate Republicans prioritized a bill that ensures our state’s water supply is managed properly. Senate Enrolled Act 4 will:
Under this law, a utility or industry wishing to transfer water between basins must obtain a permit from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. In addition, long-haul pipeline projects will also require approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, even if the water remains in the same basin. |
