After two-and-a-half years of jokes on podcasts and Twitter about actor Jay Johnston’s participation in the January 6 insurrection, the FBI has arrested Johnston, charging him with felony obstruction of officers and several misdemeanors, according to NBC News.
Johnston’s alleged participation in the riots has become a hot topic of conversation within the comedy world. In addition to being a whispered in-joke on the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast, Johnston was banned from appearing on Bob’s Burgers in December 2021. Johnston previously voiced Jimmy Pesto, Sr., on the animated series.
