Allan K's first appearance in Eat Bulaga! was in the segment "Bulagaan"; before joining the show he performed in bars, and in other countries.
He became a regular host of Eat Bulaga! with his own segment entitled "Allan Nose (a pun on the English word knows) Best".
During his stay in Eat Bulaga!, one challenge for him was to walk from Broadway Centrum (Quezon City) to Cathedral of Antipolo (estimated distance: 16.8 km) and perform in the EB Babes' Bebot division competition.
Alongside Eat Bulaga!, Allan K was also a host of All Star K! The 1 Million Peso Videoke Challenge together with singer and host Jaya Ramsey from 2004 to 2009.
Allan K previously hosted BandaOke with co-host Jaya Ramsey, and co-hosted the comedy talent show Comedy Bar with Eugene Domingo.
Allan K was inducted into the "Philippines Eastwood City Walk of Fame" in 2014 for contributing his singing, acting, and hosting.
He owned comedy bars Klownz and Zirkoh. Several celebrities permanently performed nightly at his comedy bars. Unfortunately, both establishments filed for bankruptcy in 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which greatly affected the economy.
On the December 12, 2020 episode of Eat Bulaga's segment Bawal Judgmental, he and his co-host Wally Bayola admitted that they were afflicted with COVID-19. In his statement, he said that he was brought to a hospital ICU because of the severity of his infection. Luckily Allan K quickly recovered from the virus and its effects.
