Johnston... previously pleaded guilty to a felony count of interfering with law enforcement during civil disorder in July 2024.

The 56-year-old actor was initially arrested in June 2023 after the FBI tweeted a photo requesting information about his identity. He is alleged to have led a group to the “front line of rioters confronting the police who were defending the entrance” to the Capitol, helping to launch an assault against a group of officers.

Thank fuck it wasn't one of the great characters.

~~Shit, I had actually noticed the disappearance of Jimmy Pesto, but I never thought to look it up.~~

Wait, apparently they had Pesto in two episodes since, with a different voice actor.

Ya but it wasn't for awhile, right? There was a long time he wasn't in there and I think they only recasted recently, like for the latest season or something.

I was curious about it for awhile, too.

Yeah, the old one was fired in 2021, but Pesto was already MIA in S12, last appearing with the old voice actor in S11.

The new VA, Eric Bauza, first appeared in the previous season, S14.

Read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%27s_Burgers_season_14

Fun fact: Eric Bauza also replaced one character previously voiced by Justin Roiland in Solar Opposites.
