The 55-year-old actor […] faces multiple charges including civil disorder and disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

    In case anyone’s curious, he voiced Bob’s rival Jimmy Pesto. He’s since been recast and they did a great job. I wouldn’t notice the difference if I weren’t looking for it.

        From what I can tell from a quick look on the wiki, Johnston was fired after season 11, after which the character was absent for several seasons, then recast as Eric Bauza in season 14 (which I believe is the most recent season at the moment), in particular season 14 episode 5, “Bully-ieve It or Not.”

          Shows how much I’ve been watching the show, despite liking it.

          I had no idea Jimmy Pesto was absent. Did his kids disappear? Two of the kids were played by sarah silverman. And jimmy jr is voiced by H J Benjamin, who also voices Bob.

          So I assume neither of them is going anywhere.

            Nah, his kids have been around. It wasn’t a very conspicuous absence, he just hasn’t come up for a while. It’s easy to miss if you didn’t realize the VA had been fired.
