What is supposed to happen to Bo Burnham in January? Memes erupt as death conspiracy fears emerge online

American comedian and singer Bo Burnham has sparked death fears with a bizarre prediction.

The 33-year-old declared on his website that he would leave Earth on Jan. 17, 2024. As the date arrived and passed by, fans are now worried about Bo. Words circulated in early 2024 that Bo posted on the ‘About’ section of his website:

“I came out of my mother's p***y on August 21, 1990, and I will die on January 17, 2024. Also, I have a dog named Bruce, and I love him.”

With its emergence, a clip from one of his previous interviews also surfaced where Bo addressed his peculiar prediction.

In the video, the interviewer asks the comedian how he has one such insight, to which, Bo casually responded with a straight face:

“Oh, I kill myself because my dog's gonna die, who I just got. And I love him more than anything, and when he goes, I have to go.”

The interviewer, albeit shocked, went on to ask Bo if he estimated the date of his dog’s death. The comedian nods and reveals his dog is a small pomeranian, but he doesn’t provide any concrete reason behind his projection.
