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.

We haven't asked, maybe he was just method acting.
The "I was in character" defense!
Here are the details of his surprisingly active involvement in the attack:
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4760311-jay-johnston-pleads-guilty-jan-6-capitol/
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.
This is one of the people Trump is describing as a hostage.
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.)
Dude you found the source of Project 2025 - it's all laid bare in that video
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?
Yes! Quite possibly the greatest line ever uttered on televison.
No way, if he got all C's he'd be overqualified.
Wasn't he also a cop in arrested development?
And on Community.

Hey, since this is the Sarah Silverman Show appreciation comment chain…
Can anyone tell me where to get a Tab Cola track suit? I want one for real so much.
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)

Societally, is shunning still a reasonable approach for insurrectionists who for whatever reason seem like they will continue despite judgements leveled against them?
"Johnston, 55, could see a maximum sentence of five years in prison, but sentencing guidelines suggest a from eight to 14 months in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 7."
Look at all those patriots with their trump flags attacking the capital. Wait a sec...
It's literally a cult. Dumb brainwashed assholes gathered to attack our nation in the name of one of the worst people alive. Can't get any cult-ier than that.
And yet the abomination of a human being is still allowed to run for presidency even though we all know he is a dumb, conman, traitor, piece of shit, child rapist cult leader.
jimmy pesto jr and andy and ollie deserve better
Celebrities can be just as fucking dumb as the rest of us!
Usually dumber because they are often isolated from the consequences of doing stupid shit.

Lock the traitor up. Now.
Who the hell did he play in Anchorman? 🤨
Evening News Team - guy in a blue jacket
Jay Johnston ... Eyewitness News Member
Maybe he appeared during the News team rumbles?
I wonder if this trivia item will end up on his IMDB page.
"Jay Johnston, known for his roles on Bob's Burgers and in the January 6th Insurrection..."
I've been dying for this to be used somewhere.
LMAO what a moron, also during his career he was always the 5th wheel, at best.
He was also in Arrested Development for couple of episodes. He was a gay cop in a mixed race relationship.
Some of us remember him from Mr. Show
