He has been noticeably absent during the show’s 12th season.

He voices pizza restaurant owner Jimmy Pesto Sr. on the Fox animated cartoon.

It has been reported that he has been “banned” from the show.

Some state that he was allegedly involved in the January 6 Capitol riot.

It all started when the FBI posted a photo of a man on their Twitter account.

The man in question, who was at the riots, looks an awful lot like Jay Johnston.

However, it is not clear if the man in the photo is actually Johnston.

Johnston has not been arrested, nor has he been charged with a crime.
