Bob's Burgers Reveals New Jimmy Pesto Voice Actor

Bob's Burgers has officially reintroduced Jimmy Pesto back to the animated series with the newest episode in Season 14, and with it has revealed the new voice actor taking over the character. Earlier this Summer, former voice actor behind Pesto, Jay Johnston, was arrested and charged by the Department of Justice for his involvement in the January 6th Capital riot back in 2021, and Bob's Burgers officially cut ties with the former star in the years prior. With the Jimmy Pesto character teased to return to Bob's Burgers for Season 14 of the series this year, fans had been wondering who would take on the role. 

With the debut of Bob's Burgers Season 14 Episode 5, "Bully-ieve It or Not" on FOX this past Sunday, the end credits for the episode revealed that Jimmy Pesto is now voiced by Eric Bauza, who fans might recognize as the voice behind many famous characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, and many more. For fans who didn't notice a key difference in the performances, this is likely why given Bauza has such a dynamic range.
