Controversial Cast Exits: Jay Johnston
Jay Johnston, a veteran of the Second City touring company from Chicago was a cast member on sketch comedy shows like "Mr. Show with Bob & David" and "The Sarah Silverman Program".
More notably, he was also the voice of Jimmy Pesto — the business rival of Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) — on the Fox adult animated series "Bob's Burgers". However, the comedy world was shocked when it was revealed that Johnston was present at the January 6 Capitol riots in 2021, in which thousands of Donald Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in protest of Joe Biden's Electoral College win. Shortly after being identified by the FBI via online scouting, Johnston was fired from "Bob's Burgers", and was later arrested in 2023 and sentenced to one year in prison for obstructing officers during civil disorder. Earlier this year, he was pardoned by President Donald Trump along with more than a thousand other insurrectionists from the Capitol riots, but it's unlikely we'll hear him as Jimmy Pesto again. https://www.tvline.com/2061145/most-...tv-show-exits/ |
