… sentencing guidelines suggest a from eight to 14 months in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 7.
Back on June 25:
Former Bob’s Burgers voice actor Jay Johnston agreed today to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from his participation in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The 55-year-old actor […] faces multiple charges including civil disorder and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.
Typical Jimmy Pesto.
Hes been a dick in everything.
Even Sarah Silverman Show.
What’s hilarious is despite being mildly famous, the FBI still tweeted his pics like any other shlub asking who he was.
Except for Arrested Development, where he was gay cop that you kind of rooted for. From Arrested Development to just plain old arrested, how the turn tables.
Jimmy pesto would go to the insurrection lol
Probably would not be funny. It would also alienate a big chunk of viewers.
Here are the details of his surprisingly active involvement in the attack:

Also of note:
Johnston was a voice actor on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers” but was reportedly fired after it was confirmed that he was at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Court documents said Johnston allegedly confronted Capitol Police directly and helped other rioters by handing out stolen police shields that were used to create a “shield wall” against authorities.
Johnston then participated in group assault on officers who were defending the lower west terrace tunnel before rejoining other rioters outside the tunnel in “pushing repeatedly against the defending officers,” the affidavit stated.
Yup, apprently a key part of the tunnel crush. This wasent just a “tourist trip.”
Throw the book at him.
I feel like Jay Johnston never actually left the background of this 1996 Mr Show sketch about America First bigots.
(Also Bob Odenkirk in brown face definitely didn’t age well. Ohh the 90’s.)
He doesn’t voice Bob. I know you were wondering.
I thought he was pretty good as the cop on The Sarah Silverman Program, too bad he’s an insurrectionist.
Finally! A Lemming of culture who remembers The Sarah Silverman Program. lol
Cop: Do you know why I’m standing here?
Sarah: Because you got all C’s in high school?
In case anyone’s curious, he voiced Bob’s rival Jimmy Pesto. He’s since been recast and they did a great job. I wouldn’t notice the difference if I weren’t looking for it.
Which season was his last? And which season is the first I can hear the new actor? I want to compare.
From what I can tell from a quick look on the wiki, Johnston was fired after season 11, his last episode being season 11 episode 19, “Bridge Over Troubled Rudy,” after which the character was absent for several seasons, then recast as Eric Bauza in season 14 (which I believe is the most recent season at the moment), in particular season 14 episode 5, “Bully-ieve It or Not.”
(edit: added specific episodes)
