===Amalie Oíl commercial===

In 1982, AMCAR, Inc. hired her for a television commercial about [[Amalie Oil Company]] automobile [[coolant]] products, which became one of the most famous television commercials in [[Puerto Rico]]'s history. The publicity surrounding the commercial landed her in a front-page article in ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' in June 1983 entitled "A Onetime Choirgirl Rules as Sex Goddess On Puerto Rican TV". The ad employed a play on words between the English word ''coolant'' and Spanish ''culón'', which means large derrière ([[buttocks]]).<ref name="Febles 2009 p. 197">{{cite book | last=Febles | first=J. | title=Into the Mainstream: Essays on Spanish American and Latino Literature and Culture | publisher=Cambridge Scholars Press | series=EBSCO ebook academic collection | year=2009 | isbn=978-1-4438-0665-7 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LqwYBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA197 | access-date=August 29, 2019 | page=197}}</ref>

===Mid-1980s to present===
From 1984 through the early 1990s, Iris Chacón appeared on such American TV shows as ''America Onstage'', ''[[The Joan Rivers Show]]'', ''[[The Merv Griffin Show]]'', ''[[Geraldo Rivera Show]]'', and [[Late Night with David Letterman|''David Letterman'']]. Letterman described her as the [[Dolly Parton]] and [[Loni Anderson]] of Puerto Rico and joked about proposing to her. Griffin said of her that "she was the answer to '[[Where's the beef?]]'", a reference to the [[Wendy's]] commercial of that time period. However, by 1984, Chacón reached her peak, and not being able to reach an "Anglo" market, ended her show in Puerto Rico by mid-1985 at the age of 35. Her show aired in syndication until the end of the 1980s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/iris-chacon-on-her-career-why-shes-part-of-entertainments-revival-mode|title=Iris Chacón on her career & why she's part of entertainment's revival mode|first=Daniel|last=Rivera|date=December 1, 2016|publisher=Fox News Channel}}</ref>
