Jan Schwieterman, star of Nickelodeon's ‘Good Burger' movie, dies at 52
(NEXSTAR) – Jan Schwieterman, an actor known to Nickelodeon fans as the villain from the 'Good Burger' film adaptation, has died at the age of 52, his family announced.
His date of death was listed as Feb. 28 in an online obituary.
'It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my brother, Jan (JP) Schwieterman,' the actor's brother Chad Schwieterman wrote in a Facebook post earlier this month, revealing that Schwieterman had only 'recently' been diagnosed with 'an aggressive form of stage 4 cancer.'
'Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this difficult time,' the post concluded.
As an actor, Schwieterman only has a handful of credits to his name on IMDb, though they include roles on such shows as 'ER,' 'Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction,' and 'Felicity.' Perhaps his biggest role came in 1997, when he starred opposite Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell in 'Good Burger,' the film adaptation of the Thompson and Mitchell's sketch from the Nickelodeon TV series 'All That.'
Schwieterman played Kurt Bozwell, the film's antagonist and the owner of rival restaurant Mondo Burger.
His final film credit on IMDb is listed as 2007's 'Along the Way.' His LinkedIn page suggested that he had retired from acting and worked as an IT professional specializing in security. His obituary also indicated photography, martial arts and painting.
A memorial was held for Schwieterman earlier this month in Berger, Mo., near his birthplace of Hermann. He's survived by three siblings and both parents, according to the obit.

Harmless Conspiracy Theories That Are So Believable
Conspiracy theories can be genuinely dangerous, especially when they spread unchecked on social media, where misinformation can go viral before anyone has a chance to fact-check it. As we have seen in the last few years, these kinds of theories can fuel distrust, incite panic, or even cause real-world harm. But not all conspiracy theories are sinister. Some are totally harmless (and honestly kind of fun), like the ones that claim Nicolas Cage is a time traveler or that birds aren't real. Recently, I came across a viral Reddit thread from several years ago where user shivas877 asked: "Which conspiracy theory is so believable that it might be true?" The thread had over 34K responses! While there were some well-known sinister ones in there, most were harmless. Below are some of the top and most often repeated lighthearted conspiracy theories people are convinced could be real: "Starbucks baristas are told to misspell customers' names so that they post photos on social media of their Starbucks cup. 'Check out how this guy spelled Barry!!! Borreye?!?! Lol, smh.'" —Jexy84 "That your phone's microphone is constantly 'hot' and it's listening for keywords to target advertising. "The most glaring instance where this happened to me was when I walked into a colleague's office. He had just gotten a standing desk, but one that goes on top of his existing desk rather than a standalone (pun?) Model. That's important to note.I said, 'Nice standing desk, when did you get that?' 'Thanks, just today.' He replied. That was literally all that was said about the desk. We talked about work-related stuff, and as I walked out and checked my phone, there was an ad on Facebook for that EXACT model of standing desk.I have never owned one, wanted one, or googled one before. Yet there it was on my feed. Tin foil hat be damned, they listen in."—Seannj222 "The 'arms' on Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons are backwards. They ought to be rotated 180 degrees. What good are these stubby little arms for? It is now an established fact that T-Rexes were not covered in scales but in feathers, like a bird. Take the 'arms' of a T-Rex and flip them around 180 degrees. Now you have wings like an ostrich. "Tyrannosaurus rex had wings. Not big wings to fly with, but wings that were perhaps something like those of an ostrich, cassowary, or emu, although likely much smaller in proportion to their body. Ostriches use their wings in mating rituals, to make themselves appear larger, and to signal and communicate. Perhaps the T-Rex used theirs for some similar purpose. They did not have useless stubby little arms."—DemonicP3nguin "All rocks are soft until you go to touch them." —TeddySD "That Area 51 is a publicity stunt by the government to hide the real testing facility." —Dahvoun "Apple started the meme about AirPods being expensive as a marketing ploy." —sickb "Cops go on Waze and leave random police sightings to cause people to slow down without actually having to stay and check on people. " —mxbnr "That 'big bread' paid toaster manufacturers to put in a setting that is too high so that people would burn their toast, meaning that they sell more bread." —mummifiedllama "The reason Disney came out with a movie called Frozen was so that when you googled 'Disney frozen,' you would get information about the movie and not websites talking about Walt Disney's body being frozen." —-eDgAR- "Rob Gronkowski didn't actually injure his groin after scoring his 69th career touchdown; he just thought it would be funny/appropriate." —Papua_New_Guiness "Lotteries are actually traps for time travelers." —Abraham_Santa "Women's pants pockets are significantly smaller than men's pants pockets to encourage us to buy handbags and purses." —mccrayola "PETA is controlled opposition run by the meat industry, designed to make animal rights activists look bad." —None "UFOs are just time travellers from the future, just checking us out. They keep their distance so as not to disrupt anything and to cause a butterfly effect that may affect them." —None "Toothpaste companies put some chemicals in the toothpaste to give you 'morning breath' so that you'll need to use their product again in the morning. Try it yourself: brush your teeth just before going to bed. The next morning, you have morning breath, right? That night, don't brush. The next morning, far less morning breath." —kratos649 "Black Friday was created by the government so people would spend more money, giving them more money on sales tax." —captaintaco2345 "Bigfoot is blurry in real life. It was never the camera at fault." —hotmaleathotmailcom "That Snowpiercer is the sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." —MattimusPrimee "New Coke was introduced to make people want Classic Coke, therefore bumping sales up. " —None "According Kyle Kinane: Trader Joe's makes their parking lots small on purpose to make them seem more popular than they really are." —None And lastly, "Darth Jar Jar was 100% planned and hinted at in The Phantom Menace, but the sheer amount of hatred for the character made George Lucas back down. I actually wish he went through with the original vision." —shanez1215 You can read the original thread on Reddit.

Trump's History Of Degrading Comments About Women
It's no secret that Trump has been known for saying very demeaning things about women, especially when it comes to their appearance. In fact, he has said belitting things so frequently that he denies even remembering them. So, here are just a few of the shocking things Trump has said about women — a reminder of how deeply sickening and unacceptable this rhetoric truly is. In a 2007 interview on Larry King Live, Trump reportedly criticized Jolie's appearance and personal life, saying, 'Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing because everyone thinks she's like this great beauty… but she's not a beauty, by any stretch of the imagination. In terms of beauty, she's not a great beauty.' Trump went on to criticize her public persona and personal history during a separate interview on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. Trump was discussing Jolie's humanitarian work and public persona, and criticized her by saying:, saying, 'Now she's like a representative of the United Nations and world peace on hunger and all of this crap… and she had just said she made love to Billy Bob Thornton in the back of the limousine on the way over. And I wouldn't want to shake her hand, by the way.' One of the most repulsive things that happened was in 2007 when Maxim magazine did a reader poll that named Sarah Jessica Parker the most "Unsexiest Woman Alive." Agreeing with the magazine, Trump is reported to have echoed the sentiment in a Facebook post that publicly criticized her appearance. Sarah expressed her feelings over this in an interview with Grazia magazine. She described the experience as "brutal," stating, "It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger." Sarah also noted that the title affected her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, saying it "upset him because it has to do with his judgment too." She questioned the standards used to determine attractiveness, remarking, "Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not." In a 2004 interview with Howard Stern, Trump made a remark about Lindsay Lohan, saying that "deeply troubled" women are "always the best in bed," according to a review of the interview by CNN's KFile. At the time, Lindsay was only 18 years old and had recently completed filming Mean Girls. Lindsay's representative issued a statement at the time, expressing disgust and emphasizing that "money cannot buy class." Jamie Lee Curtis also publicly defended her. CNN's KFile also reported that Trump approved of Howard Stern referring to his daughter, Ivanka, as a "piece of ass" and went on to describe how he would go backstage at his pageants while contestants were naked. Trump has not publicly apologized or provided a direct response to the reported 2004 interview with Howard Stern. Just this May, Trump posted on Truth Social: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' The White House responded to Trump's comment with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying, "He is speaking about Taylor Swift's political views and how perhaps it has impacted the support of the American public for her work." During a 2013 interview on Showbiz Tonight, Trump was asked what he thought about Kim Kardashian creating a baby shower registry even though she's wealthy. His response? 'She's gotten a little bit large. I would say this: I don't think you should dress like you weigh 120 pounds.' When host A.J. Hammer challenged him, asking, 'Why not? She feels good about herself?" Trump attempted to backtrack his statement, saying, 'I think that's great. If she feels great about herself, do it, Kim.' Trump reportedly insulted Alicia Machado, who won the Miss Universe title in 1996. He is said to have publicly mocked her in 1997, calling her 'Miss Piggy' and 'Miss Housekeeping,' derogatory nicknames targeting both her appearance and her Latina heritage. Alicia has spoken out about how Trump's insults deeply affected her self-esteem and mental health, saying the experience was "humiliating." She also used her story during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign to highlight Trump's history of mistreating women. Trump publicly attacked Kristen Stewart on Twitter in 2012, accusing her of cheating on Robert Pattinson "like a dog." Trump is said to have made 11 tweets in total, mocking her by calling her "boring" and "untalented." On his late-night show, Stephen Colbert asked Kristen if these tweets helped teach her how to deal with bullies. Kristen responded, explaining that she had publicly asked Trump about his comments, but he didn't respond. She then added, "We're all different. That's okay. You know, celebrate the differences." In a 2015 interview with The New York Times, Trump took a jab at supermodel Heidi Klum, saying, 'Sadly, she's no longer a 10,' implying that she had lost her attractiveness with age. Heidi responded on Instagram with a video of a man in a Trump mask ripping a '10' off her shirt to reveal '9.99,' and later stated that every woman is a '10' in her book. Even some Republicans were upset after Trump made a very graphic insult of MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski. In response to criticism from Morning Joe, Trump tweeted in 2017: 'I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar‑a‑Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face‑lift. I said no!'Mika responded to this by posting a photo of a Cheerios box labeled "Made for little hands" on social media. In 2012, Donald Trump tweeted derogatory comments about Bette Midler, calling her 'extremely unattractive' and mocking her appearance. Jimmy Kimmel has talked about how much Trump reportedly hates Bette Midler on his show. In 2012, after Cher criticized Mitt Romney, Trump is said to have called her "somewhat of a loser," adding that she was "lonely," "unhappy," and "very miserable." Speaking on Fox News with Greta Van Susteren, he went on to say, "like Rosie…a total loser" before dismissing Cher as 'average talent who is out of touch with reality." After Romney became the Republican nominee, Cher tweeted: 'If ROMNEY gets elected I don't know if i can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters.' Cher later deleted this tweet. In 2006, on Entertainment Tonight, Trump called Rosie "disgusting, both inside and out," and a "slob" who "talks like a truck driver" with a "fat, ugly face." Trump said this because he was upset with Rosie O'Donnell after she criticized his decision to let Miss USA Tara Conner keep her title even though she was caught up in personal scandals. She accused him of being a hypocrite because of his own messy history with affairs and then, Trump has also said Rosie is a 'loser,' 'fat pig,' 'beast," 'mentally sick woman,' 'bully,' 'dummy', and countless other insults. Just days after Anna Nicole Smith passed away in 2007, Trump is said to have called Anna's lips "the most disgusting thing to look at…big fat pumped up tires" in a radio interview on The Howard Stern Show. CNN reported on the incident, quoting Trump. You can watch other Howard Stern interviews with Anna Nicole Smith here. During the final presidential debate in 2016, Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton by calling her a "nasty woman" while she was speaking about tax policy. Hillary was specifically discussing Social Security tax increases, saying her own taxes would go up along with Trump's, when he suddenly interjected with the insult. During a press briefing in 2020, Trump called Kamala Harris "nasty" and "disrespectful" for how she questioned Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh about reproductive rights in 2018. Trump was recalling a moment during the 2018 Senate Judiciary Committee, when Kamala pressed Brett about reproductive rights, asking, 'Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?' After a noticeable pause, he said: 'I'm not thinking of any right now, Senator.'Trump has also called Kamala 'extraordinarily nasty... nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing' and 'the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful of anybody in the U.S. Senate.' Got any others you want us to shed light on? Let us know in the comments and maybe we make a follow-up post.
