Kurt Alexander (born September 8, 1969), better known as Big Boy is a nationally syndicated American radio host and actor.

From 1997 he has hosted the morning show at Los Angeles Rhythmic contemporary station KPWR (Power 106) until his move in February 2015 to KRRL (Real 92.3).

His stage name derives from his formerly large build, which he modified through duodenal switch surgery in 2003, leading to a nearly fatal weight loss of over 250 pounds.

However his first big break onto the national spotlight was when he was hired as the announcer on the Vibe TV talk show (named after the popular magazine) in 1998 hosted by comedian Sinbad.

[3] He has made cameo appearances in movies such as Malibu's Most Wanted, Soul Plane, The Longest Yard, The Players Club, Charlie's Angels 2, and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.

The first film, Exit Strategy, is a romantic comedy centering on James (Jameeel Saleem) who is evicted from his apartment and forced to move in with his girlfriend of three months, Kim (Kimelia Weathers) and quickly discovers she's not his type.

[citation needed] On February 3, 2015, Emmis Communications filed a breach-of-contract suit against Big Boy after he accepted a $3.5 million contract with iHeartMedia and quit the KPWR morning show.

[6] Beginning July 30, 2018, the show is also carried in a two-hour edited video form on the American cable network FM (Fuse Music).
