Bob's Burgers' Jimmy Pesto, saw a change in actors; here's why it ended up working out perfectly and why Johnston was ousted in the first place.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Bob's Burgers continues to dominate in the adult animation space, and while a recent actor replacement for a key character could have proved detrimental to its success, it ended up being a favorable decision that bolstered viewers' excitement about what’s to come. While currently in its 14th season, Bob's Burgers is already confirmed for season 15 due to its continued popularity.
Although on-screen Bob’s Burgers tends to steer clear of dealings with serious issues and controversy, off-screen is a different story. One of the recurring antagonists of the series, Jimmy Pesto, had to be recast after his voice actor, Jay Johnston, was fired. Given that Pesto is a crucial and captivating character on the show, replacing his voice could have proved to be a serious blow.
Cassandra Church, who worked with Johnston on a 2014 film called Harmontown, shared that she recognized him from the photos shared of the riot in a now-deleted Tweet. It read "I’m no detective, but I do know Jay. He said he was there. And that’s him in the picture. So…" After appearing in court, Johnston was struck with a felony charge of civil disorder. He was released on $250,000 bond.
Jimmy Pesto is not the only recast character in season 14 of Bob's Burgers, as Marshmallow has a new voice as well. This change followed pressure from viewers and the desire to have characters of color voiced by those from the same background. Both decisions have gone over well, with little disruption to the show's flow and existing character dynamics.
