Edit:. Weird, my title glitched. Was supposed to say "Casting news"
They haven't announced if they're recasting him yet, but Jay Johnston, the comic who voices Jimmy Pesto on the show, has been fired. Apparently it's been well known for awhile that he was active in alt right circles but now former friends of his have said he is "on the lamb" after being implicated in the Jan 6th riot and appearing on Proud Boys webcasts.
This link is the "innocent until proven guilty" phrasing, but comics who have worked with him have been making less... carefully worded tweets on the subject.
