In 2000, he was a series regular for season 6 of All That on Nickelodeon. In 2006, Iglesias was a finalist in the fourth season of "Last Comic Standing", until he was disqualified for using a cellphone and BlackBerry in violation of the contest agreement. Iglesias was named Comedian of the Year by Comedy Central in 2006.
Iglesias has done a few independent films and voiceover work for Disney Emperor's New School and his most recent project was a one hour special called Hot & Fluffy which aired August 4, 2007, and was released to DVD four days later.
