WASHINGTON — A veteran comedian with roles on “Mr. Show,” “Arrested Development,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” has pleaded guilty in connection with his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jay Johnston, wearing a gray suit, pleaded guilty to a felony offense of obstructing officers during a civil disorder. “Guilty,” Johnson said when asked by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols how he pleaded. Nichols set a sentencing hearing for Oct. 7 at 10 a.m.
Thought it kind of turned into that,” Johnston wrote in that text message. “It was a mess. Got maced and tear gassed and I found it quite untastic.” Johnston faced professional backlash long before he was charged in connection with the attack: The character he voiced on “Bob’s Burgers,” Jimmy Pesto Sr., was written off the show because of Johnston’s involvement in storming the Capitol, the Daily Beast reported in December 2021. The character was later revived with a different voice actor.
