Summary

Success required a lot of sacrifices for Gabriel Iglesias and that's no joke. Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias may be one of the most beloved comedians in the world, but it's in Los Angeles, performing in front of sold-out crowds at Dodger Stadium where he feels most at home and equally on top of the world. Dan meets Gabriel in Los Angeles for a special conversation that goes well beyond what he's ever shared on stage or anywhere before. From discovering his love for comedy, learning to move past unhealthy relationships and loneliness, to experiencing uncontrollable tears of joy when making the most unbelievable dream a reality, there's a little bit of "Fluffy" in all of us. Watch GABRIEL IGLESIAS: STADIUM FLUFFY streaming now on Netflix and see Gabe live on his “DON’T WORRY, BE FLUFFY” tour. Go to FLUFFYGUY.COM for tour dates, tickets, and more.
