‘Bob’s Burgers’ Actor Sentenced to One Year in Prison for Role in Jan. 6 Insurrection


'Bob's Burgers' actor Jay Johnston was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for his role in the Jan. 6 capitol attack.

The actor, whose credits also include “Anchorman” and “Men in Black II,” was identified as a participant in the insurrection before he was arrested, resulting in him being fired from “Bob’s Burgers” in December 2021. In the days following Jan. 6, Johnston sent messages to family and friends claiming the events at the Capitol were exaggerated by the media and that it was a “setup” by the police and Antifa, according to a sentencing memo. Almost two years after the attack, Johnston “made light of his participation in the riot by dressing up as Jacob Chansley, known as the ‘QAnon Shaman,’ at a Halloween party that he attended.”
