Jay Johnston, who also played roles in “Arrested Development” and “Bob’s Burgers,” had pleaded guilty to felony offense of obstructing officers during a civil disorder.

A Hollywood actor who had supporting roles in “Anchorman,” “Mr. Show,” “Arrested Development” and “Bob’s Burgers” was sentenced to 12 months and a day in federal prison on Monday for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Jay Johnston was arrested in June 2023 and pleaded guilty in July to a felony offense of obstructing officers during a civil disorder. Johnston had long been identified as a participant in the chaos even before his arrest, and some of the professional consequences — including no longer being featured as a voice in “Bob’s Burgers” — hit long before the legal repercussions.

    Pathetic. Jan 6th is life-in-prison shit.

    We could have taken care of business and had this election be normal. But I guess that takes a spine.
