jschlatt (born September 10, 1999),[2] also known as Schlatt, is an American YouTuber, Twitch streamer, entrepreneur, and podcaster. He is best known for a variety of online content, including gaming, vlogging, reacting, and skits.[3] Schlatt is the current owner of GamerSupps[4] and former co-owner of One True King.[5]

As of September 2024, Schlatt has a combined following of over 10 million subscribers on YouTube[a] and nearly 3 million combined followers on Twitch.[b]

Career

[edit]

YouTube

[edit]

Schlatt began creating YouTube videos in 2010, recording Call of Duty gameplay videos alongside his acquaintances at the time.[6] In July of 2013, the original jschlatt channel was created, with his first video being uploaded the following year. His content primarily consisted of video essays covering various topics of interest, including astronomy, technology, music, and gaming. On February 6, 2018, Schlatt uploaded a video titled "elon r u ok", which would go on to become his most popular video, and served as a catalyst for his career.[4][7]

During the earlier stages of his career, Schlatt remained a faceless content creator. He would later reveal his face after defeating the final boss of Minecraft on stream, in a video uploaded to his channel on September 26, 2019.[8]

Livestreaming

[edit]

Schlatt began streaming in June of 2018, playing a variety of different games,[9] most notably Cities: Skylines and Minecraft. On March 1, 2019, Schlatt joined "SMPLive", a pivotal turning point in his career.[10] SMPLive was a Minecraft server that brought together dozens of content creators to stream themselves as they interacted within a shared Minecraft environment. Schlatt's involvement with the server surged his internet presence, gaining him thousands of new followers and subscribers.[11]

Beginning in December of 2019, Schlatt went on an unannounced hiatus from streaming for over 2 years. In the meantime, his internet presence grew larger and more prominent on YouTube, prompting fans and fellow collaborators to ask for a grand return to Twitch.[12] On December 16, 2021, Schlatt uploaded a video titled "i'm quitting youtube", in which he announced his return to streaming.[13][14]

Schlatt joined One True King in 2021 as a co-owner, appearing in various videos and livestreams hosted by the organization.[15] He later left the company in 2022 to pursue his own goals.[16]

Podcasts

[edit]

Schlatt has been involved with a number of podcasts over his career, most notably Sleep Deprived[17] and Chuckle Sandwich, the latter of which he co-hosts with Ted Nivison.[18]

On March 8, 2023, Schlatt publicly announced a new podcast titled DID SCHLATT WIN?[19] The first episode released later that month. The podcast's format involved Schlatt engaging in "pointless" debates with a special guest each episode, with a focus on comedy. Notable guests included Hasan Piker, Ludwig Ahgren, and TommyInnit, among others. As of September 2024, the podcast is believed to have been abandoned by Schlatt in order to focus on other projects.[citation needed]

Schlatt also runs a small solo podcast called the The Weekly Slap[20][21] where he intentionally mirrors the "old school style" of Call of Duty commentaries and offers advice to viewers. This channel has been running since September 28, 2018[22] and has been uploading spontaneously.[23]

Other Ventures

[edit]

Music

[edit]

On September 28, 2022, Schlatt and Ludwig Ahgren created the YouTube channel Lud and Schlatts Musical Emporium, a collaborative project aimed at providing royalty-free recordings of famous classical compositions, as well as original, Nintendo-inspired music, for use in content creation.[24][25][26]

On December 15, 2023, Schlatt released a cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in response to the large amount of artificial intelligence-created song covers utilizing his voice and likeness.[27][28] It was later taken down by Universal Music Group due to copyright concerns, and it currently remains unavailable.[29]

Rammie

[edit]

The Rammie character debuted in 2017, created by Dana Clement for Schlatt's new profile picture.[30][non-primary source needed] Schlatt has used the Rammie brand in multiple YouTooz products.[31]

Dream SMP

[edit]

Despite never streaming on the server, Schlatt gained a considerable audience for his involvement in the Dream SMP. He was added to the server on July 16, 2020, by TommyInnit and Sapnap[32] before being subsequently banned the same day by Dream, the owner of the server. He was later whitelisted on September 20, 2020,[33] and participated in the server for a brief time. Despite his minimal appearances, his involvement with the server would further grow his audience and channel.

Controversies

[edit]

On March 21, 2021, Schlatt uploaded a gameplay video on Jackbox Games' Survive the Internet. The original thumbnail had a poorly drawn face colored in black with the words 'blackface' next to it, resulting in extreme backlash, with many believing he was a racist.[34] In response, he changed the thumbnail to a poorly drawn depiction of the former X logo, then known as Twitter, with the words "Dumb Bird" written next to it. No further response was made.[34][35]

In 2021, allegations against Schlatt were made after an old tweet from 2018 resurfaced in which he replied "the face of allah." to a photo of Twitch streamer Scott Fisher. No response was made.[35]
