Gabriel Iglesias brought his family to Celebrity Family Feud. However, I don’t think he was there only to win the money for charity. That is because Fluffy wore a shirt with the Family Feud logo on the front and Steve Harvey’s big, beautiful head on the back.
The audience loved it. However, not as much as Steve himself! I can’t say I blame him because that shirt is all that and more.
Gabriel Iglesias took to social media yesterday, on his 45th birthday, to tell his fans that he has to cancel his upcoming shows for the foreseeable future. The reason is, is that he tested positive for COVID-19.
“I’ve been vaccinated, and I give credit to that for getting me through this as quickly as it did,” the comedian said.
So what are the symptoms he says he has, “some body aches, some chills, clearly COVID did something to my eyebrows.” It didn’t take away his sense of humor. But it did take away two of his other senses. That means he can’t taste or smell the cake he got for his birthday, but he is happy he got the cake.
He plans to restart his standup tour after he gets three negative tests for coronavirus.
Get well soon, Fluffy. Your comedy needs to be seen by as many people as possible. If you have never seen him on the stage, watch his specials on Netflix and Tubi. They made me laugh out loud.
Let his diagnosis be a warning to all of us that we can’t let our guard down just yet. Just because you are vaccinated does not mean you won’t get it. It just means you won’t get as sick. If only we could convince the people who didn’t get the vaccine to get it. That would really help matters.
It used to be that Netflix renewed everything. Now, it seems to be the opposite. That is because they cancelled four more shows. Those series are The Crew with Kevin James, Country Comfort with Katharine McPhee and Eddie Cibrian, Mr. Iglesias with Gabriel Iglesias, and Bonding.
I don’t know what comedies have to do to survive on Netflix, but it would be nice to find out. I was really hoping for The Crew to get a second season.
Gabriel Iglesias is going to guest star on Modern Family and he looks just like on of the show’s stars. When I looked at this photo of him with Ed O’Neill and Sofia Vergara, I honestly thought he was Rico Rodriguez. I was looking dead center and then when I noticed Manny on the side, I was like which one is which. One of them could be cloned from the other one. Did you think Iglesias was Rodriguez and vice versa?
Gabriel Iglesias has visited the Valley many times before. Now the comedian is going to stay. “I will soon be a resident — I just bought a house in Avondale!” he says. While he’s headlined at the Tempe Improv and other comedy clubs around the country for several years, more people than ever know Iglesias this summer because of his appearance on the NBC reality competition “Last Comic Standing.” Easily the most polished comedian among the final contestants, he was disqualified on the July 11 episode for using his Blackberry. “Everybody was doing something sneaky, and I just happened to be the one that got caught,” Iglesias says. “Leave it to the Mexican to get caught!”Not that he was overly disappointed to see his time on the show come to an end. “They put all these rules and regulations on you, and I’m not used to having people tell me what to do,” Iglesias says. “I had to ask to go to the bathroom! I really didn’t like that.” With himself out of the mix, Iglesias believes the winner will be one of two contestants. “It’s going to come down to Josh Blue and Chris Porter,” he says. “I was actually hanging out with Chris Porter last night. I play poker with him.” As an established comedian, Iglesias certainly wasn’t in awe of the prize — $50,000 and a half-hour special on Bravo — for which the upstart comics are still vying.“The only thing I had to gain was the title and a big ego,” Iglesias says. “Comedy Central is already giving me a one-hour special in February, and the money will come. I’m buying houses — the money will come!”He did, however, stand to lose something had he triumphed on the show: A little personal freedom, due to the contractual obligations that come with winning.“Obviously, being disqualified, you’re kind of released from those obligations,” he says slyly.
