Bob's Burgers' Jay Johnston sentenced to 1 year in prison for role in January 6th
Former Bob’s Burgers actor Jay Johnston was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for his role in the January 6th US Capitol riot.
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.
Good luck getting hired after a Jan 6th conviction.
Kevin Sorbo is looking to put a team together.
Maybe he can reboot Andromeda, but with even more fascism
Oh, they rebooting One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
I dunno, might be able to get a cabinet position depending on how the election goes.
He aint exactly in an industry that cares about doing background checks if you understand.........
Maybe he'll go to the Daily Wire
We all knew Jimmy Pesto was a POS.
You mean Baby Numnum?
Baby Numnum
Yes, they are one in the same.
well it seems like they got the right guy for Jimmy Pesto role
...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.
I almost wish I watched the show so that I could see the in-universe reference / explanation.
There isn't one, they just got a new voice actor.
Pretty sure Seth McFarlane has had in universe conversations about the departure of other VAs, such as Joe's Wife Bonnie and of course the legendary Mayor Adam West, so it's a little sad they don't even make a bit out of it.
"Oh that guy? That was my identical cousin, yeah he's in prison for trying to overthrow democracy or whatever."
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.
Oooof. Tough day for him.
Huh, a real method actor ... ?
He was also a big part of…The Story of Everest!
The Story of The Story of Everest... probably the funniest thing I've ever seen!
I can imagine there would have been an interesting dynamic between this piece of shit and fellow Bob's Burgers voice actor Sam Seder...
Happy Birthday Bob!
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.
