Jay Johnston, an actor known for work on Bobs Burgers and Arrested Development, was reportedly arrested and charged with crimes related to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The 54-year-old actor was arrested on Wednesday (June 7) in California and charged with felony obstruction of officers during civil disorder along with some misdemeanor offenses, NBC News reports.

Johnston was identified online after the attacks happened by photos of the rioters who went viral. He voiced the role of Jimmy Pesto Sr. on Bobs Burgers, but hes reportedly been banned from the set as of 2021.

Documents obtained claim that Johnston made his way through the building in the upper west tunnel and assisted at least three other rioters by pouring water on the rioters faces. He also reportedly used a stolen U.S. Capitol Police shield.

Wonder what's the story behind that. Probably not too hard to guess since he's a J6er, though.

Jimmy Pesto is a prick though. Sometimes the role perfectly fits the actor.

He was also a regular castmember on Mr. Show with Bob [Odenkirk] and David [Cross], hence him getting later cameos in both Arrested Development and Better Call Saul (he played Kevin Wachtell's father Don in the Mesa Verde commercial).

The funniest way to handle his character would be to have Jimmy Pesto also get arrested for his role in J6.

Just give Tina some throwaway line like "Jimmy Jr.'s really been feeling down ever since his dad got arrested for his role in the capitol riot," and don't even bother mentioning it again. It'd be perfect.

They already established he's divorced; I feel like they should bring the mom back or something. It's weird to just pretend he's still there but will never talk again like in the movie.

Thats the first thing that came to mind for me. He was also part of the Mr. Show cast. Funny that it seems like his biggest jobs have been with super lefty people.

right as it broke a couple years ago that he was getting shitcan'd, someone on twitter suggested that Colleen Caviello should be his ex. something happens, she takes over the pizzeria, and has the Bob-Jimmy dynamic with Linda instead.

i thought it was brilliant.

Honestly, I think the best path would be to have Jimmy Pesto, Sr. be written out of the show by way of having him get arrested for the same crime as his voice actor. From everything I've seen of Bob's Burgers, Pesto is exactly the kind of asshole who would join in on the terrorist attack on the Capitol just because Trump demanded it.

Plus it would be a huge middle finger to his terrorist voice actor.

I was just reading about Jimmy Pesto no longer being on the show yesterday over the allegations. I guess they weren't allegations after all.

I agree. They could even make it a running gag.

That's disappointing. I heard that was one of the only sitcom cartoon that didn't have a dad that was an abusive psycho.

I meant that Bob's Burger is one of the few animated sitcoms to have decent father (relatively speaking) so it's a shame to hear an actor got involved with this.
