Jay Johnston, best known for playing Jimmy Pesto on Bob’s Burgers, was arrested today in Los Angeles by the FBI for allegedly storming the Capitol on January 6th, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Department of Justice has charged him with civil disorder, entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and impeding passage through the Capitol grounds or buildings.
The actor was identified by several people who saw his photos that have been distributed by the FBI since March 2021. You would think as someone who acted on camera in Arrested Development and The Sarah Silverman Program; he would’ve been smarter when it came to covering his face. But I guess he was caught up in the moment of destroying democracy.
There is no word if he will continue on with Bob’s Burger. But, I think, like Trump’s presidency, his time is over.
