Mar 26 2020
Stephen "tWitch" Boss got his big break when he landed a gig as the house DJ for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which then led to a role in Magic Mike XXL. Let's find out just how he went from daytime TV to thongs and stripper poles.

Stephen Boss earned the nickname "tWitch" during his adolescence. His special style of dance is known as "popping," which consists of jerky, almost robotic movements. Thus, his peers christened him "tWitch." In an interview with Kam Williams, Boss confirmed that his nickname went all the way back to his childhood, when he was, quote, "always spinning and staying in motion." Of course, the word "twitch" doesn't always have the most flattering connotation, but Boss nevertheless had no issue keeping it into adulthood. As he told Williams,

"I don't mind it at all, because it's a part of my being. It's become part of my persona, when it comes to dance."

Boss has also claimed that his nickname came from his old car, a mildly reliable Toyota Paseo that he had in the 90s. As he explained to Alabama.com,

"I took (the name) tWitch when I was about 20 years old because that was when I first started dancing, going places and teaching dance, and a lot of my dance knowledge and a lot of my dance thoughts took place in that car. Driving from place to place [...] I'd choreograph in the car."

Thanks to his smile and charming ways, Boss later earned a second nickname when he appeared on So You Think You Can Dance: "Mr. Personality." Keep watching to learn The Untold Truth Of Ellen's DJ, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss!
