Actor Jay Johnston has reportedly been fired from the cast of Bob's Burgers after it was revealed that he participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. Johnston has been the voice of Jimmy Pesto on Bob's Burgers for about a decade now, and is also known for roles on productions like Mr. Show, Arrested Development and Anchorman, among others. On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that Johnston had been "banned" from working on Bob's Burgers.
Two sources familiar with the situation at the Fox animated sitcom said that Johnston will not be allowed to record the voice of Jimmy Pesto Sr. It was described as a "ban" rather than a "firing," and they said that the people behind Bob's Burgers do not want to make "a big deal" out of the story. A Fox spokesperson told The Daily Beast: "Thanks for reaching out, FOX has no comment," while a Disney spokesperson added: "We will not be providing a comment." Johnston did not respond to the outlet's requests for a comment at all.

Amazing how fast the FBI can work when it really wants to
Worst riot ever.
If he rioted after St. Floyd or Kenosha he would have gotten a raise.
Now it is a “riot.”
An “insurrection.”
We are no longer “protestors,” we are now “domestic terrorists.”
I myself am a member of a group of patriotic former officers - this group is now called an “anti-government paramilitary group” on Wikipedia.
Statues destroyed. Names changed. History rewritten. Careers ended. Families ruined.
Fear. Uncertainty. Misery. Hatred.
Goebbels is smiling.
“He’s also a craven Trump supporter”.
That’s a capital crime in Hollywood right there!
What would “Archer” have done, though?
U.S. lawmakers are outraged that Beijing should be allowed to host the 2022 Winter Olympics when the communist dictatorship is locking people up for "merely exercising their most basic freedoms." Meanwhile, a large number of Americans who showed up at a political rally in January to exercise their freedoms of speech and assembly and protected right to petition their government for a redress of grievances — specifically, their contention that the 2020 presidential election was conducted fraudulently to put Biden in the White House — have been rounded up by the FBI, forced to endure wretched jail conditions and alleged torture from guards, and left languishing in solitary confinement without bail for most of the last year in order to face charges that amount to nothing more serious than trespassing inside the "people's house." Of course, because the federal government has decided the First Amendment exists only when it's not too much of a bother for the ruling aristocracy to tolerate, these political prisoners are receiving punishments more severe than a lot of rapists and murderers. So Congress has decided it is virtuous to posture against China's human rights abuses while simultaneously disregarding those perpetrated at its behest just outside its doors. Is it possible for one world power that falsely brands trespassers as "insurrectionists" to marshal the requisite moral legitimacy to call out another world power for falsely rebranding genocide as a "war against terrorism"? Of course not. Only hypocrites condemn tyranny abroad while embracing it at home. Yet that is where we are today.
There was a riot? I didn’t see any burning buildings like we saw with the ‘mostly peaceful protests’ of blm (as the left love to call them), all i saw was a dead unarmed woman after a big brave security guard shot her in the neck for crawling through a window
Never heard of Bob’s Burgers. But if I ever see one I sure as heck won’t do business with them.
I also didn’t see any cars burning i nthe streets- no people jumping on vehiocles and smashing them- no pulling drivers from their cars and beatign them senseless, no weapons beign used agaisnt anyone- no streets shut down and illegally guarded by armed hostile people, all of which we saw with blm and antifa-
Nope- all i saw was flag waving Grannies and Grandpas walking between the rope guides within the building, and some younger folks yelling for the most part- i also saw a few paid actors smash some windows- but nothing even remotely close to the massive domestic terrorist acts of blm and antifa-

Yes, propaganda works.
It was a peaceful protest in which a few tourists were tricked into entering the capitol building. The first tourist “insurrection” in history.
Today’s Agenda:
1. Check out of hotel
2. Listen to President Trump’s speech
3. Overthrow the government of the United States
4. Tour the Mall
5. Have dinner
6. Go to airport to catch flight home
Jeff Garlin was just fired on The Holdbergs as well. Inappropriate behavior on set and two years of misconduct. He had been talked to, given warnings, cut his workload and even given time off. He now only filmed a few days his scenes and they had to use a stunt double. But a investigation revealed further harassment complaints and that he was drunk on set. Upon his ouster ABC ordered three more episodes this season.
Goldbergs
Silly cartoon on Fox with Family Guy and The Simpsons. It has a different feel than the other two. Same creators have been testing this season a limited run of a new cartoon.
I'm sure his lawyer will make a huge deal out of it. Need to also get Gina Carano involved. Sounds like rampid political discrimination by the rat!
"Why Not Socialist?"
Lately the fourth cartoon or show on the Sunday cartoon block has failed and not lasted like Bless The Hearts, The Clevland Show, Allen Gregory, Last Man On Earth, Orville, now on Hulu only. The Great North is now on the lineup being tested in limited run.
Boycott Bob’s Burgers!
A cartoon was at the Jan 6 protest?
