He was the 4th highest grossing comedian of 2025 according to Billboard and continues to be in the top 10 chart year after year.

On March 21st, Iglesias and Jo Koy will perform to a sold-out crowd at SoFi Stadium, marking history as the first stand up performance at the venue.

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. The comedian has had the distinct honor of being one of the few to headline and sell-out Madison Square Garden in New York, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and The Sydney Opera House in Australia.

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 sell out 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 and top 3 most watched Netflix special of the year.

Last December, Iglesias co-starred with 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.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the legendary Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has proudly hosted the globally iconic star ceremonies for decades. Millions of people from here and around the world have visited this cultural landmark since 1960.

 

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is shouting how proud we are to welcome The Isley Brothers to the Hollywood Walk of Fame” stated Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer.

“Their incredible legacy in music has influenced generations of artists and fans around the world, and we’re proud to celebrate their enduring impact with this well-deserved star,” added Martinez.

Few groups in American music have shaped culture, inspired generations, and transcended genres the way The Isley Brothers have. They are not just icons; they are the blueprint. Their influence stretches from Liverpool to Los Angeles, touching the Beatles to Ice Cube, and echoing in every decade of modern music.

In 2025, The Isley Brothers celebrated an unprecedented milestone: 66 years since their explosive first hit, Shout, and eight consecutive decades on the Billboard charts, a record no other group in history holds. They are also the most sampled group of all time, a testament to the staying power, richness, and innovation of their sound.

Their journey began in the mid-1950s as a young gospel quartet in Cincinnati. After the tragic loss of 13-year-old Vernon Isley, the remaining brothers—O’Kelly, Rudolph, and Ronald—moved to New York City in 1957 with a bold dream. They transformed grief into greatness, writing their breakout anthem, “Shout”, a song that would become a global celebration staple for generations.

By 1959, they released their debut album and began carving out a sound that no one else could replicate—fearless, soulful, and deeply original.

Across their extraordinary career, The Isley Brothers reinvented themselves again and again. They dominated the Black music charts, continuously breaking barriers and genres. Along the way, they welcomed future icons into their orbit—Jimi Hendrix and Elton John both played in their band before becoming legends in their own right.

Their discography reads like a history book of American music, filled with classics that shaped entire eras: Givin’ It Back, a visionary reinterpretation of rock and soul; 3 + 3 and Go for Your Guns, genre-defining soul and funk masterpieces; Brother, Brother, Brother, a glittering rock evolution; and “Fight the Power”, later reimagined as Public Enemy’s cultural anthem. From quiet storm to disco to love ballads, they created the soundtracks for revolutions, romances, and generations.

Universally respected and endlessly imitated, The Isley Brothers have also earned the highest honors in music, entering the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, winning the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014, and being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022.

Their songs continue to shape modern music, sampled by artists like Drake, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., and Megan Thee Stallion. Their fingerprint is everywhere.

Even in recent years, The Isley Brothers have proven their timelessness. In 2021, they released “Friends and Family” with Snoop Dogg, followed by their 2022 album Make Me Say It Again, Girl. The title track, featuring Beyoncé, went number 1 for five consecutive weeks and stayed in the top ten for over eight months, earning them yet another Soul Train Award.

The album also featured an all-star lineup: Earth, Wind & Fire; El DeBarge; Rick Ross; 2 Chainz; Quavo & Takeoff; and more, a rare cross-generational stamp of respect.

Today, Ron and Ernie continue touring, electrifying audiences worldwide with the same spirit they had more than sixty years ago. Their music has grown with the world, yet remains unmistakably theirs—bold, soulful, and eternal.

With a peerless catalog, unmatched longevity, and influence that touches every modern genre, The Isley Brothers aren’t just part of American music history; they are the foundation of it.

 

They taught us how to Shout!

They taught us how to love through song.

And decade after decade, they continue to prove why they are—and always will be—living legends.

Alan Cumming was honored with the 2,832nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, January 8th at 11:30 am PT at 6320 Hollywood Boulevard. Cumming received his star in the category of Live Theatre/Live Performance.  Joining emcee Marc Malkin were Monica Lewinsky and Brian Cox.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the legendary Walk of Fame for the City of Los Angeles and has proudly hosted the globally iconic star ceremonies for decades. Millions of people from here and around the world have visited this cultural landmark since 1960.

 

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome actor Alan Cumming to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “As we step into the new year, we’re thrilled to honor the incomparable Alan Cumming with a Walk of Fame star. Alan’s remarkable range, fearless artistry, and dedication to his craft have captivated audiences around the world. His star shines as brightly as his spirit, and we’re proud to celebrate his contributions to entertainment here in Hollywood,” added Martinez.

Trailblazer, creative polymath, renaissance man, maverick, master of reinvention, beyond eclectic: Alan Cumming is all of these and more.

His most recent adventures include winning four Emmys for hosting and producing the US Traitors, being named Artistic Director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre in his native Scotland, playing the lead in Brian Cox’s directorial film debut Glenrothan, recording a single with Gaelic rapper Griogair Labhruidh , writing a book with his longtime collaborator Forbes Masson to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the creation of their cabaret alter-egos Victor and Barry, shooting a film in French, voicing an elderly woman with a pet crab in the Disney Kids series Robogobo and all the while touring with NPR’s Ari Shapiro in their cabaret Och and Oy! as well as his solo show Uncut . Next up he returns to the superhero fold in Marvel’s Avengers:Doomsday!

He is the author of seven books including a New York Times #1 bestselling memoir, performs in concert regularly in halls around the world and co-owns his own, eponymous cabaret boite Club Cumming in New York City’s East Village, a home for ‘all ages, all genders, all colours, all sexualities, where kindness is all and anything could happen!’ Perhaps not surprisingly, Time Magazine named him one of the three most fun people in show business (the others were Cher and Stanley Tucci!)

Thirty years ago his Hamlet stormed the West End and he was hailed as ‘an actor knocking at the door of greatness’. A quarter of a century ago he was a sensation as Cabaret’s Master of Ceremonies in a production that forever changed the Broadway landscape. A decade ago his visceral, virtually one man Macbeth was a stunning, transatlantic coup de theatre.

His screen work ranges from art house to blockbuster, cult to mainstream, but his performances are always indelible and some immortal: Mr. Floop in Spy Kids, Eli in The Good Wife, Nightcrawler in X2: X Men United, Sebastian in The High Life, ‘O’ in Sex and the City, Boris in Goldeneye, King James in Doctor Who, Sandy Frink in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Mayor Menlove in Schmigadoon and himself on Broad City.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Courtney B. Vance to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer. “Courtney is being honored with this prestigious award for his remarkable career and lasting impact as an artist, advocate, and mentor, inspiring generations through his powerful performances and integrity,” added Martinez.

Courtney B. Vance is an award-winning actor who is a powerful presence from the stage to the screen. His debut as Spc. Abraham ‘Doc’ Johnson in Hamburger Hill launched a prolific cinematic career that includes historically noteworthy films such as The Hunt for Red October, The Preacher’s Wife, and The Adventures of Huck Finn. His most recent film, the live action Lilo & Stitch in which he plays Cobra Bubbles, made cinematic history as the largest Memorial Day Weekend opening of all time. As the number one film around the world, it earned over $182 million dollars domestically and $361 million globally in four days.

From Courtney’s stunning portrayal of Johnnie Cochran in FX’s The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, to the beloved and pivotal character “Uncle George” in HBO’s critically acclaimed drama horror series Lovecraft Country, his star turn in Nat Geo’s Genius: Aretha as Rev. C. L. Franklin, and Hap Hairston in Broadway’s Lucky Guy, he has earned two Emmys, a Tony, a Critics’ Choice Award, a Black Reel TV Award, and multiple NAACP Image Awards, as well as SAG, Golden Globe, and Hollywood Critics Association nominations.

Vance is the recipient of the Bounce Trumpet Awards Excellence in Entertainment Award and the ABFF Honors Award for Excellence in the Arts. He also earned a Grammy nomination for his narration of Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s book Accessory to War.

His other television projects include 61st Street, a criminal justice drama for which he earned an AAFCA TV Honors Award, and Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie, a Hulu horror drama series. Vance currently stars in the second season of Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians as “Zeus.”

In tribute to his deep love of history, Courtney championed and narrated the first-ever audiobook for David Levering Lewis’ Pulitzer Prize-winning W.E.B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race. Volume One was released earlier this year. Volume Two will be released in February 2026.

Vance has also established a footprint in producing alongside his wife, Angela Bassett. Their production company, Bassett Vance Productions, is in partnership with 20th Television to develop and executive produce comedy, drama, limited series, and TV movies for linear networks and streamers, with an emphasis on platforms across Disney Entertainment Television. The company’s first feature film, Heist 88, in which Courtney also stars, premiered on Showtime Networks as one of 2023’s most watched original films on the network, as well as aired on Paramount+. The film earned three NAACP Image Award nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Television Movie and Outstanding Television Movie Drama, and won the award for Outstanding Writing for a Television Movie Drama.

Courtney’s book, The Invisible Ache: Black Men Identifying Their Pain and Reclaiming Their Power co-written with Dr. Robin L. Smith and award-winning journalist Charisse Jones, earned him the Author of the Year Award at the National Book Club Conference. He served as commencement speaker and received an honorary doctorate from William James College for his work as a mental health advocate. He is also Chairman and President of the SAG AFTRA Foundation.

ABOUT OUR HONOREE

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome James L. Brooks to the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame Producer.

“James has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, and we are honored to celebrate his huge contributions with a star on the Walk of Fame,” added Martinez.

James L. Brooks is a three-time Academy Award-winner, twenty-two-time Emmy Award-winner and four-time Peabody Award winner. He is a director, producer, screenwriter, and founder of Gracie Films.

A towering figure in both television and film, Brooks is best known for co-creating iconic television series like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and The Simpsons, as well as for his acclaimed work on films such as Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, and As Good as It Gets.

Brooks began his career as an usher at CBS before writing for the network’s news broadcasts. In 1965, he moved to Los Angeles to work on David L. Wolper’s documentaries. His first major success came when he created Room 222. In 1970, Grant Tinker hired Brooks and producer Allan Burns at MTM Productions, where they co-created the groundbreaking comedy The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Brooks and Burns also developed two successful spin-offs: the comedy Rhoda and the drama Lou Grant.

In 1978, Brooks co-created Taxi, winner of the Emmy for Best Comedy 3 years in a row and then transitioned to feature films. His film debut came with Starting Over, which he wrote and co-produced. The film earned two Oscar nominations for Best Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Supporting Role. His next project, Terms of Endearment, earned him three Academy Awards for writing, directing, and producing, and resulted in Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. Brooks continued his success with Broadcast News and As Good as It Gets, both of which garnered widespread praise. Each film earned seven Academy Award nominations, and As Good as It Gets took home two wins for Best Actor and Best Actress. Other notable films he produced include BIG, Penny Marshall’s first directing effort; Say Anything…, Cameron Crowe’s first directing effort; The War of the Roses; Bottle Rocket; “Are You There God, it’s me Margaret?” written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig; Jerry McGuire written and directed by Cameron Crowe; and James wrote and directed Spanglish and How Do You Know?

In 1986, Brooks founded Gracie Films. The first show produced was The Tracey Ullman Show, which received 29 Emmy nominations and eight wins over the course of its run. During this time, Matt Groening created The Simpsons, developed by Brooks and Sam Simon. The show became a cultural phenomenon, winning numerous awards and is now in its 37th season with more to come. Brooks co-produced and co-wrote The Simpsons Movie in 2007, further cementing the franchise’s legacy.

Throughout his career, Brooks has demonstrated a unique ability to balance heartfelt storytelling with sharp humor. His later projects include producing The Edge of Seventeen, a coming-of-age film directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, and Icebox, a Spanish-language HBO film about a young asylum seeker.

Looking ahead, Brooks will release his newest project, Ella McCay, which he wrote, produced, and directed. The film is a comedy about the complicated politics that arise when a young woman’s stressful career clashes with her chaotic family life. Ella McCay is set to release on December 12, 2025.

With a legacy spanning over six decades, James L. Brooks remains one of the most influential figures in entertainment, celebrated for his unparalleled contributions to both television and film. In 2006 he received the Herb Sargent Award for Comedy Excellence from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and his recent induction as a Disney Legend in 2024 underscores his significant impact on the world of storytelling and entertainment.
