“'Bob's Burgers' actor sentenced to 1 year in prison for role in January 6th riot,'' the audience said, causing an uproar. new york times The funniest guy I've ever met was leaving Washington, DC, to pack up his life and move back to Los Angeles.
Jay Johnston wasn't just Bob's rival jimmy pesto;he board member “As a police officer, I've seen books about how to puke turn into crap,” he said on “The Sarah Silverman Program.”
I hate that Jay goes to prison for a year, but I love this story because it's a perfect example of the brutal hypocrisy of Hollywood, the left, and people who think they're “creative.”
True comedy fans know him best for his amazing performance on “Mr. Show.”story of everest”, I beat my parents’ thimble collection eight times.
Slapstick is his specialty. The guy is about 100 feet tall, or a “giant of the law” as Andy Dick once called him, so when he falls, it's hilarious.
Jeepers become cheaper
I once wrote a TV pilot with him called “The Two Bennies,'' where we updated Benny Hill's slapstick with over-the-top craziness. Instead of slapping one of us for being fresh, the woman cut off our heads with a chainsaw.
I remember pitching him some ideas and ending with, “Do you think that would be interesting?” He stopped and said: “Let me ask you something…please.” you Do you think it's interesting?
I've known this guy for a quarter of a century, and he was never political.
He was a hard-drinking, heavy-smoking maniac who drove a Jeep with no sides or windshield, and once he got in he gave him a coat and goggles to survive.
He's Hunter S. Thompson. lanceox But he is also an incredibly moral and courageous person, running through the city chasing the snatchers to hell.
We went on vacation every year with other people from our interesting community, but the discussions were always delayed.
Once, when I picked up Jay from the St. Maarten airport, I got lost trying to leave the airport. “This parking lot was originally designed by notorious city planner William P. Nillard (known to his friends as Willie Nilly),” he said.
Jay used to ridicule me as a typical Scottish cheapskate. On one trip, he went to open the door for me, but it got stuck on a rock and only opened halfway.
“I'm sorry,” he said insincerely. “I'm cheap, too.” It yanked shut on a pebble, making a loud bang, and Jay added, “Slow down, Slammy Davis Jr.”
blind baseball
I remember being in Jamaica in 2003, criticizing David Cross (“Mr. Show'') for being a Republican, and Jay asking, “Mr. “Are you a Republican?” Why? Don’t you see that diversity is ultimately better for everyone and everything?”
This was one of the few political statements I've ever heard him say, and his reaction was typical of the LA comedy scene at the time. They talk about politics as blindly as the British talk about baseball.
The next time politics came out of his big mouth was in 2016, when Trump was running for president. he was there Starburns Industriesand Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) was talking about how important it was for Hillary to win.
Mr. Johnston went out of his way to disagree, saying he liked the idea of Mr. Trump shaking things up.
It was as if he had said, You have to admit that at least some toddlers are sexy. ”
Everyone present was shocked, and Dan turned purple with rage and started screaming at Jay like a petulant Mussolini.
I talked to Jay right after that, and I was worried that Harmon was going to get blamed for certain incidents because he basically does comedy.
“I don't think it's that bad,” he replied. “Maybe it's a brown ball.”
Jay's refusal to accept Trump Derangement Syndrome was his first scarlet letter, but it didn't end his career — perhaps because he was no longer politically active. Yes, he dared to blaspheme Hillary, but hanging out with this guy was 99% workshopping the comedy part.
transformers convention
I used to get drunk with him and other funnier people than I was at the Rustic Inn in Los Angeles, like Jeff B. Davis and Dino Stamatopoulos. he would joke.
The table then became incredibly serious as each player tried to outwit the other. “George W. Bush has just flown back from seeing the devastation Katrina has wrought. His farm is in a quagmire,” there was a groan, but then someone said, “George W. Bush has just flown back from Afghanistan. “The troops are probably tired,” he added.
I think it was Jay who ended the volley by saying he had just come back from the Hitler convention and his arm was tired.
Little did he know that in Biden's America, that joke would become a reality, and that he would end up in prison with tireless arms and no use for anything.
avoid crowds
Jay's 2016 transgression left a small cloud over his career until Dino threw a party in 2021 post-COVID-19. Johnston arrived without a mask, hugging everyone and shaking their hands as if it wasn't an instant death sentence.
The leftists in La La Land have moved away from Hillary and focused all their attention on health care. Jay's negligent behavior confirmed their worst fears about him. This man is Right wing after all.
This wave of ostracism bothered Jay, and he became even more curious about what the “evil” right had been up to over the years. He started following Trump more closely. When he heard about the January 6th rally, he texted me. “Would you like to check this out?” he asked.
“No way,” I answered. “I avoid it like the plague.'' The exchange ended up in court.
When the big day arrived, Jay was curious. Again, this is a British guy attending a baseball game, so I didn't have enough experience to know how these things usually happen. At the ripe age of 53, this was his first rally.
huge injustice
During the chaos, Jay was given a police shield as he was 6 feet 4 inches tall and could easily get out of it. His girlfriend later joked that Jay was on trial for being “tall.” He gave it head first to the police.
However, in the footage, he could have easily used it to attack police. I don't know about that. The FBI began circulating his image and asking the public if they knew who he was.
The fuckers in LA couldn't wait to hear the reaction. This is why I hate those people so much. They have no honor. They not only lack the courage to stand up for their beliefs; They lack courage.
Tim Heidecker (known to many, Sam Hyde canceled) I couldn't wait to point out Jay's involvement. Jeff B. Davis went a step further and actually spoke to the FBI himself, sharing texts like this: Contains “It's being portrayed as an attack on the news. It wasn't, but that's kind of how it turned out. It was a mess. I got maceed and tear gassed,” Jay said. I found it very bad.”
Jeff and Jay must have spent thousands of hours together. I think it was Jeff who came up with “The Boy's Farm Is a Quagmire.” I've always suspected that Jeff was jealous of Jay's sense of humor, and this plot confirms it.
Jeff and Tim weren't the only ones who couldn't wait to connect the kindest people I've ever known. The whole L.A. comedy scene built up. Jay's 13-year-old daughter was taking improv classes because she wanted to be like her father. Unfortunately, putting her in the class also meant kicking her out of the class. Because she was sent home for the sins of her father. Bob's Burgers fired him, his new album Wing Dad was shelved, and his entire career came to a screeching halt.
rat pack
This was well beyond the stage of being on the brown list. A friend of mine was recently at David Cross's 60th birthday party (David and I were very close, but we broke up when he got TDS). This guest is still friends with Jay and I, but he still gets invited to parties because he hates Trump. He was pleading with everyone there to see Jay's side.
“Don't you think it's insane that he's facing significant prison time?” he continued to ask.
I think they didn't answer anything about the nuances of police shields? Do you think any of them even had one? heard What about the shield?
They all shrugged their shoulders at a man and yelled, “Look around and find out.'' Despite knowing Jay for almost 30 years, no one showed any sympathy (or dared to let anyone know they did) – funny.
Three years after Jay's visit to Washington, D.C., he was charged with 18 U.S.C. 231, “Obstructing Law Enforcement Officers During a Civil War,” and sentenced to 366 days in prison and two years of supervised release. received the verdict.
I hate that Jay goes to prison for a year, but I love this story because it's a perfect example of the brutal hypocrisy of Hollywood, the left, and people who think they're “creative.”
Drama club nerds don't grow up with empathy or the ability to see social outcasts for who they are. They grow up to become painful victims bent on revenge. If that means putting a friend in a cage who disagrees with you, so be it. These are the neighbors who would denounce you to the Stasi if communism took over.
That's why it's so important that we win this election. The other side is so immoral that it's not funny.
Donated to the Jays GiveSendGo. You should too.
