Jay Johnston

Jay Johnston, a former cast member of “Bob’s Burgers,” was sentenced to a year and a day behind bars on Monday for his participation in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The 56-year-old actor, who played Jimmy Pesto on the Fox animated sitcom, joined rioters’ “heave-ho” push against police guarding an entrance to the Capitol that day, The Associated Press reported.

In July, Johnston pleaded guilty to interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, which carried a maximum sentence of five years. Prosecutors recommended an 18-month prison sentence for the actor.

Johnston’s sentencing memo claimed the government was using his status as “an acclaimed Hollywood actor” to “make a point to the public.”

During Monday’s sentencing, Johnston told U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols that his participation in the riot was “a humiliation and a horrible oversight.”

Nichols, a Trump appointee, said the actor sounded “less contrite than many” other rioters and described Johnston’s conduct as “problematic — reprehensible, really,” according to the Hill.
