In popular culture
The fictional character "Conrad Birdie" in the musical and movie Bye Bye Birdie is said to be a composite of Conway Twitty and Elvis Presley. The part was originally named Conway Twitty, until the writers learned that Conway Twitty was a real pop star who was willing to sue them.
For the 1959 record Songs for Swinging Sellers, Peter Sellers included a character "Twit Conway", who was a rock singer.
The animated TV series Family Guy has used several cutaways to various performances by Twitty as non-sequitur transitions to provide a diversion for Peter Griffin, or as a counter to a controversial theme.
A Conway Twitty impersonator is featured during a "dream" sequence in the beginning of the third episode of the second season of True Detective, while Twitty's hit cover of "The Rose" is heard in the background.
On the CBS show, Scorpion, Conway Twitty is referenced in the second-season finale "Toby or Not Toby" by Agent Cabe Gallo. Cabe announces to Sylvester Dodd that he has Conway Twitty's box set on his phone at the beginning of the episode. Later in the episode when trying to trace the whereabouts of Toby Curtis, Cabe's cell phone is used to play a Conway Twitty song, aiding them in narrowing down their search. Cabe also states that he had visited Twitty City while handing Walter O'Brien his phone.
