Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the DJ for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," revealed in a recent interview that he's excited to return to work on set.
Boss told E! News that his job as the show's resident DJ made him feel "blessed.... on a daily basis."
"You know, there hasn't been too many gigs where you feel it every day and build a genuine love from front to back," he said, adding: "And the audience, being so happy to be there and ready to dance and ready to laugh and have a good time."
The DJ also said that he's looking forward to "experiencing the love" on set when he returns to work on the show.
"We can't speak too much legally about it, but I'll say this, there's been love," Boss said. "Obviously there's some things to address, but from my standpoint and from countless others, there's been love. I'll just leave it at that until there's a time where we can address more publicly."
DeGeneres has come under fire in recent months, with former staffers accusing her of behaving rudely and adding to the troubled atmosphere on set.
Despite the growing number of allegations from former staff members — including an ex-producer and a former DJ — that the show fostered a toxic working environment, plenty of stars have come to DeGeneres' defense.
