Bob's Burgers' Jay Johnston sentenced to 1 year in prison for role in January 6th (consequence.net)

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.

Good luck getting hired after a Jan 6th conviction.

Kevin Sorbo is looking to put a team together.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 98 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know what the difference is between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?

A fishing lure gets cast.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Looked up his imdb, he seems to be getting a lot of roles recently

https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0001757/

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 55 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

You might see who's making all those movies. Because it's not Hollywood, other than the Reagan film, which he had a small part in and which also was a box-office bomb.

He makes right-wing Christian movies because those are the only roles he gets.

When he was Hercules, he was one of the biggest stars on TV.

But hey, he has an 8-episode sitcom on Twitter which I'm sure is hilarious and also a big success, like all TV shows on Twitter. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12825094/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cred_c_2

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't really watch Christian movies.

The last thing I saw him in was that home alone, but with a dog instead of a kid. "Alone for Christmas". I can't really recommend that, either.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah, nobody does. That's why citing them as Sorbo "getting a lot of roles" is a fucking joke.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

You're not making Christianity better, you're just making movies worse!

You aren’t wrong but be aware those are largely low value christian/conservative media roles

I mean, I kinda do, but that that's a separate issue from Trump.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

According to my Facebook feed, every shitty right-wing actor you can think of is being offered $1B to start their own anti-woke streaming network.

God, I need to just add that site to my AdGuard list.

Fuck you Jimmy Pesto

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago

well it seems like they got the right guy for Jimmy Pesto role

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 46 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I'm so glad they brought back Jimmy Pesto but recast the actor. That was a sure sign that they were done with Johnstone.

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Really wanted an internal nod where he goes to jail for terrorism and his wife takes over and blames Bob, keeping the feud alive

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

I think Eric Bauza voices him just as well if not better. And he's a way cooler guy in addition to not being a terrorist.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I agree! They could've done it the quiet way and just stopped using Pesto, but they said loud and proud, "We don't support this."

After the real heavy, emotional storylines of the newest season, I'm not surprised. Those burgerpeople seem on the up-and-up for sure.

FAFO

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I had to Google to check my decription for this acronym. Turns out it is Fuck Around and Find Out, which makes sense. But I also like my initial guess in this context, which was Fascist Asshole, Fuck Off.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Zoooom!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 3 weeks ago

...Jay Johnston, known for his roles on Bob's Burgers and in the January 6th insurrection...

These words should be in every news article about him ever now.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 23 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

1 year is too light of a sentence.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

We have a habit of letting traitors off light in the US.

I almost wish I watched the show so that I could see the in-universe reference / explanation.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There isn't one, they just got a new voice actor.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Pretty sure Seth McFarlane has had in universe conversations about the departure of other VAs, such as Joe's Wife Bonnie and of course the legendary Mayor Adam West, so it's a little sad they don't even make a bit out of it.

"Oh that guy? That was my identical cousin, yeah he's in prison for trying to overthrow democracy or whatever."

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Bob's Burgers doesn't really do MacFarlane-style "LOL we're a cartoon" meta stuff.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Solar Opposites did it very well when they jettisoned Justin Roiland. His character gets hit in the throat with a dart and then zapped with an uncalibrated voice repair ray. His partner thinks the new (and suddenly English-accented) voice is sexy so they don't bother changing it.

Also, new Korvo is way better the than slightly-altered Rick that Roiland was crapping out.

i was watching the sarah silverman program recently and the amount of shit she gives his character is almost cathartic now. it seemed sharp and silly on first airing, but now its just warranted.
