Look Who Got Flipped: The Guy From ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Who Was at the Capitol Insurrection Finally Got Arrested | Rolling Stone

In Dec. 2021, The Daily Beast reported that Johnston had been dropped from Bob’s Burgers — where he had a recurring part as the voice of a rival restauranteur — due to his involvement in the insurrection.

JAY JOHNSTON, THE comedic character actor who popped up not only in Mr. Show and Bob’s Burgers but at the 2021 Capitol insurrection, was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack.

Per NBC News, Johnston was hit with a felony charge of obstructing a law enforcement officer and a couple of misdemeanors. 

Though not super famous, Johnston was certainly one of the more recognizable participants in Jan. 6. While he was only just arrested, his identity and participation in the insurrection has been more or less well-known since March 2021, when the FBI shared a few still photos of him as they sought his identity. 

Fans, and even some of Johnston’s former colleagues, immediately recognized him (a lawyer for Johnston also contacted the FBI at this time to confirm it was him)
