An actor known for his roles on the comedy television shows “Bob’s Burgers” and “Mr. Show with Bob and David” has been arrested on charges that he joined a mob of Donald Trump supporters in confronting police officers during the U.S. Capitol riot. Court records show that Jay Johnston was arrested Wednesday in Los Angeles on charges including civil disorder, a felony. The FBI says video footage captured Johnston pushing against police and wielding a stolen police shield during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Johnston was the voice of the character Jimmy Pesto on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers.” His credits also include parts on “Arrested Development” and “Anchorman."

I was updating Wikipedia and I stumbled upon this piece of news. Bob’s Burgers production cut ties immediately with the actor, and now his character has a new voice.

    I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.

    Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he’s on now.
