We’re sure the Bob’s Burgers character Jimmy Pesto Sr. is always getting asked about where he was on January 6 based vibes alone, but it’s only his former voice actor who can answer in the affirmative. Bob’s Burgers actor Jay Johnston is expected to plead guilty on July 8 for his involvement in the riots on the U.S. Capitol, according to dockets reviewed by NBC News justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly. The expected plea comes a little over a year after Johnston was arrested and charged with felony obstruction of officers and several misdemeanors for entering a tunnel of the Capitol, assisting other rioters, and using a stolen police shield while battling with police. Johnston’s involvement first came to light when the FBI posted a photo of the actor while seeking information about people who participated in the riot in 2021. Online sleuths immediately recognized him as a bit player in Anchorman and Arrested Development. Months later, Johnston was booted from Bob’s Burgers. This is history in the making.
