Is Ted Nivison Still Alive? October 23 Death Rumor Explained After Jschlatt’s Viral Tweet

YouTube star Ted Nivison became the center of a bizarre online rumor after fellow creator Jschlatt posted a viral tweet joking about his “death.” The post quickly gained over 115,000 likes, causing confusion among fans who took the joke seriously.

The tweet featured a photo of Jschlatt with Ted Nivison, claiming that Ted had “passed away” on October 23, 2025. However, the statement was not true — the joke comes from a long-running gag in their fan community.

The Origin of the “Ted Nivison Death” Joke

The viral rumor traces back to an old episode of the Chuckle Sandwich podcast, co-hosted by Ted Nivison, Jschlatt, Slimecicle, and Tucker Keane.

During one episode, the group released a merch T-shirt that humorously “predicted” that Ted Nivison would die on October 23, 2025. It became a running inside joke within their community.

Fans revisited the joke this week when the “predicted date” arrived — leading Jschlatt to post his viral “tribute” tweet.

Why Fans Thought It Was Real

While regular followers recognized the reference, casual viewers were confused. Many fans believed Ted had genuinely passed away because of how realistic the tribute tweet looked.

One fan wrote, “I had no context on this and I thought for a second bro really died.”
Another commented, “Jesus Christ, my heart dropped there for a moment.”

Some users joined the joke, posting dramatic “tributes” like: “Such a freak accident that he just exploded like that. Fly high, brother.”

Others played along with mock grief, pretending to mourn the “predicted death.”

Jschlatt’s “Prediction” Running Gag Explained

This isn’t the first time Jschlatt’s name has been linked to death-related coincidences. His fans often joke that he can “predict deaths” because of strange timing in his past tweets.

• In March 2021, Jschlatt said that the next month would be “interesting.” A few weeks later, Prince Philip passed away.

• In 2022, he posted a selfie on a plane leaving the UK — the same day Queen Elizabeth II died.

Ever since, fans have joked about Jschlatt’s “curse” and make lighthearted comments whenever he posts something vague.

Ted Nivison Is Alive and Well

Despite the online chaos, Ted Nivison is alive. He has not publicly commented on Jschlatt’s viral tweet, but earlier this month, he tweeted: “I have a feeling that this is going to be my month.”

Fans replied with images of the Chuckle Sandwich shirt predicting his death — turning the running gag into a trending moment.

Even YouTuber Quackity joined in, replying under Jschlatt’s post with his own joke, writing: “Rest in peace, Schlatt. You were a damn good friend and an even better podcast host. Such a shame you had to die today.”

The Internet Reacts

The Ted Nivison death joke quickly became a viral meme on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, with thousands of users referencing the Chuckle Sandwich lore. While some found the humor dark, others appreciated how long the creators had kept the inside joke alive.

Fans continue to share memes celebrating the fact that Ted “survived” his predicted death date, turning October 23 into a mini fan holiday.
