Johnston… previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.
The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.
For an attack on the beating heart of America that puts what Osama Bin Laden did to shame in terms of threatening the country itself?
At a certain point America deserves the next one.
I’m so glad they brought back Jimmy Pesto but recast the actor. That was a sure sign that they were done with Johnstone.
Really wanted an internal nod where he goes to jail for terrorism and his wife takes over and blames Bob, keeping the feud alive
I think Eric Bauza voices him just as well if not better. And he’s a way cooler guy in addition to not being a terrorist.
I agree! They could’ve done it the quiet way and just stopped using Pesto, but they said loud and proud, “We don’t support this.”
After the real heavy, emotional storylines of the newest season, I’m not surprised. Those burgerpeople seem on the up-and-up for sure.
He was also a big part of…The Story of Everest!
Oooof. Tough day for him.
Happy Birthday Bob!
Huh, a real method actor … ?
well it seems like they got the right guy for Jimmy Pesto role
i was watching the sarah silverman program recently and the amount of shit she gives his character is almost cathartic now. it seemed sharp and silly on first airing, but now its just warranted.
I can imagine there would have been an interesting dynamic between this piece of shit and fellow Bob’s Burgers voice actor Sam Seder…
…Jay Johnston, known for his roles on Bob’s Burgers and in the January 6th insurrection…
These words should be in every news article about him ever now.
1 year is too light of a sentence.
No, it isn’t.
Yeah, it is
We have a habit of letting traitors off light in the US.
We all knew Jimmy Pesto was a POS.
You mean Baby Numnum?
Baby Numnum
Yes, they are on in the same.
Fuck you Jimmy Pesto
Stupid Jimmy Pesto.
On the upside Trev can take over.
I’d watch that arc.
