I'm supposed to be throwing to a montage right now of some
of our favorite celebrity moments
but I'm not going to do that.
Over a decade ago, I met someone who changed my life,
and our show.
And I'm talking about you tWitch, come here.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Sit down.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
It's going to get to you.
So I love you so much and it's been an emotional week.
And it's just a coincidence that your mom's here.
Like we were going to do this and then you told me
your mom's here, and your best friends here.
And so I just want to say this show is--
just like-- just what happened just now
before we came back from break.
We know those little tiny moments
when we're singing a song and you always
make me smile and laugh.
Anyway we put a little something together just
to say how much we all love you here.
What is something you would like to say to tWitch?
Like what does he mean to you?
[EXHALES]
Well, I don't want to say goodbye.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
From the Warner Brothers Studios,
here she is now, Ellen DeGeneres.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Did you have a good summer?
Yes.
I watched a whole lot of TV this summer.
One of my favorite shows on television
is on during the summer, So You Think You Can Dance.
I love that show.
I used to be a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance
and I wanted to do a dance.
So the producers of So You Think You Can Dance set me up
with tWitch. tWitch came over to my house and he helped me
try to copy it.
It was like a crash course in getting
to know each other because--
and he was so patient with me.
That was my initial love for him was--
we just bonded over learning to dance together.
[MUSIC - MARK RONSON, "FEEL GOOD"]
(RAPPING) Come on.
Feel right in this--
feel good in this--
my whole hood in this--
and we going to rock this mother for you.
All night.
Feel right in this--
feel good in this--
I would like to introduce you today to our guest DJ.
It's my favorite dancer, tWitch, everybody.
All night.
And we going to rock this mother for you, all night.
Yeah, we going to rock this mother for you, all night.
Whooo.
Get down.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
That's a cute little son of a tWitch, I'll tell you that.
Thank you so much.
[LAUGHTER]
tWitch don't be jealous, I got you some too.
There's an envelope over there, you probably wondered what it--
what--
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
I feel like that dude from Earth, Wind and Fire.
I was going to say.
Fond memories are mainly waxing him, it has to be number one.
Ready?
Are you ready?
Yes.
It's all right.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my god.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh.
Why you keep doing that over and over again?
Is that not it?
Is that?
Is it?
Oh my god.
[GARBLED WORDS]
Twizzler?
It's choc-- no, no.
It's like chocolaty bit-sized situations.
I've got M&Ms.
No, wait-- they're like cube-shaped.
Um--
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Oh.
[MUSIC - JUSTIN BIEBER, "ANYONE"]
(SINGING) Dance with me under the diamonds.
Whenever he's not here for whatever reason,
it's just different.
I mean I count on him to look over at and make silly jokes.
And he's my pal, he's my sidekick,
because we have this connection so just looking over--
and he makes me laugh.
He really, really makes me laugh.
(SINGING) You are the only--
I love you tWitch and you know how much.
We tell each other that every day when we say goodbye.
After the show we both say love you.
He says love you much and I say love you.
And so he's never going to be out of my life.
He's always a part of my life.
And--
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[EXHALES]
That's it.
(SINGING) If it's not you, it's not anyone.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
I love you.
I got you something.
Every day we walk off stage--
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
I love you like crazy.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was not prepared.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I love you and also I love the family that we've gained here.
And something that I'll always remember
is that you gave me a place where I can just be myself.
I came here to dance one time, to do a dance course.
And now we became a family.
We got married, we've had more kids on the show.
And whether I was a real DJ or not, I always felt at home.
And I thank you for that.
Is unforgettable times, so I thank you
and I thank all of the crew here that we've gained as family.
I love you so much.
We love you so much.
You're a fake DJ but you're a real good man.
You're a real good man.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
We'll be back.
