The guy who voiced Jimmy Pesto was apparently actually at the riots and got fired after the producers found out.

I'm surprised they decided to recast Jimmy Pesto, rather than writing him out of the show by having him get arrested for the exact same reason as his voice actor. He strikes me as the kind of asshole who would have taken part in the MAGAs' terrorist attack on the Capitol, had he been real.

It's a shame, 'cause he was also involved in a lot of legendary Mr. Show skits.

Oh you mean Jay Johnston, right? He was also in Mr. Show. The Story of Everest is still one of my favorite sketches of all time. Too bad he turned out into an asshole who fell for the MAGA cult idealogy.

Apparently he was always kind of like that, but was still a mostly normal person until 2016 when he started going down alt right rabbit holes.

Never seen the show. Something about the artwork is very off-putting.

Then they'd have to replace him with a completely new character to be Bob's restaurant rival, and probably get rid of Jimmy Jr. (and the twins) as well. Either that or significantly shift the dynamic in depressing ways since Jimmy's dad would be in prison.

And actually, once you think about it for a moment, Pesto is NOT the type of guy who would participate in 1/6. You need no more proof beyond the fact that Pesto never (AFAIK) smashed Bob's front windows.

Why, did he threaten to do that at one point? I've really only watched one episode of Bob's Burgers and it was "Seaplane!".

Oh that was a great one. My first one was Beefsquatch and I couldnt even touch the show until a year or two later. Hate that episode.

No offense to TC-I am not the forum police, and spreading accurate info is good. But this is really, really old news.

Glad Johnston is facing consequences for his actions.

I don't think this would work because Bob's Burgers has always felt like a legitimately apolitical show and doesn't (or at least very, very rarely) use current events like that for plotlines. They could have had him arrested for similar vandalism but not for the Capitol attack.

AFAIK, no. I'm saying that if the Pesto was the type to participate in 1/6, then there is no way in hell that he wouldn't have also smashed Bob's windows, since I'm pretty sure he hates Bob far more than he hates Biden/Pelosi/Pence/the federal government/etc.

That really sucks, Mr. Show is my mecca. Can't look back at "The Hurkey Jerky Dancer" or "Captain Tragedy" with fondness now...

His replacement sounds pretty much exactly on point so no loss there.
