8 best Bob's Burgers guest stars we still think about
Since the very beginning, Bob's Burgers has been able to pull off the impossible. The series has brought on some big names to compliment its already stacked cast.
Throughout the show's run, there have been some talented people, lending their voices to some iconic characters. Whether they showed up in one episode or a few, the show has no shortage of amazing guest stars to choose from.
These are just eight people who lend their voices to Bob's Burgers and we haven't stopped thinking about it since. As you know, there are plenty more than eight people to talk about so I wanted to include some honorable mentions before starting. The honorable mentions include Adam Driver as Art the Artist, John Oliver as Ian Amberson, Kathryn Hahn as Jessica, Henry Winkler as the Mall Santa, and Jeffrey Tambor as Captain Flarty.
8. Jon Hamm as the talking toilet
One of the biggest open secrets about Bob's Burgers is Jon Hamm's role on the show. When the episode first came out, Hamm's role as the talking toilet was uncredited. Once everyone realized who it was, it was a hot topic. For newcomers, it's such a fun surprise to hear Jon Hamm voicing a toilet and that's why he had to make the list.
7. Carly Simon as herself
Moving onto another unlikely guest star, did you know that Carly Simon has appeared on Bob's Burgers? The iconic singer of hits like "You're So Vain" and "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" played a dual role in the episode. While she played herself during the episode, the show also featured her singing in the outro. We've shared the clip above for your listening pleasure but this is another moment that feels almost too good to be true.
6. Jillian Bell as Nat Kinkle
When thinking of great side characters in Bob's Burgers, Nat Kinkle is one of the best. Originally introduced in "V for Valentine-detta," she's the girls' limo driver as they're spending Valentine's Day together. From there, she ends up befriending the entire Belcher family and has appeared in various other episodes. Thus far, Nat has only appeared in 5 episodes but every time she pops up, shenanigans always ensue. All in all, Nat is too awesome of a character to not feature on this list and we hope she makes an appearance in season 15.
5. Kumali Nanjiani as Skip Marooch
Certain guest stars on Bob's Burgers truly give it their all and one of those is easily Kumali Nanjiani who voices Skip Marooch. A hotshot celebrity chef who befriends Bob, he's basically everything Bob wishes he could be. However, Skip is also super fun and someone you can't help but root for. Plus the way that Nanjiani plays him makes him all the more likable. Plus it's rare to see Bob's food being appreciated as much as it does by Skip.
4. Josh Gad, Daveed Diggs and Max Greenfield
When it comes to the Boyz 4 Now episodes, it's hard to pick just one boy so like Tina, I'm picking a few favorite guest appearances. In the season 9 premiere, "Just One of the Boyz 4 Now 4 Now," we're following the group as they audition boys to replace Boo Boo. Determined to find the man of her dreams, Tina dresses up like a boy and ends up running into some talented guys.
Josh Gad plays Damon who Tina runs into and is immediately crushing on. Then there's Daveed Diggs as Jesse and of course, we couldn't forget about Max Greenfield as Boo Boo. This is the true trifecta of incredible singers and we can only hope that these three appear in another musical-themed episode together.
3. Bob Odenkirk as Chase
Looking back, it shocks me that more people aren't talking about Bob Odenkirk guest-starring on Bob's Burgers. Maybe no one noticed it was him but no one talks about him in relation to the season 3 episode, "Tina-Rannosaurus Wrecks." The episode follows Bob letting Tina drive the car which wrecks into Jimmy Pesto's car. Pesto decides to call insurance and the Belchers meet Chase who is voiced by Odenkirk.
Chase is the true embodiment of a horrible insurance adjuster and he does everything to involve Bob in his cons. Eventually, they're able to catch him in a lie but since then, we have yet to see Bob Odenkirk appear. Frankly, he's so good in that role that seeing him again would be a real treat.
2. Bill Hader as Mickey
One of the most fun and unexpected guest appearances is from Bill Hader. Hader was the original voice for Mickey, a bank robber who befriends Bob. We meet him in "Bob Day Afternoon" as he's robbing the bank Bob is going into and Bob ends up becoming a negotiator of sorts. In the end, Mickey ends up in jail but he gets out in "Bob Fires the Kids." Mickey eventually gets a job at Wonder Wharf so the kids are able to see him more frequently.
As awesome as Hader was at voicing Mickey, he did voice him in most of the episodes until recently which is sad. Hader was replaced by the show's creator, Loren Bouchard in season 12's "Beach Please" and was voiced by John Q. Kubin in the film. While it's unclear when or if Bill Hader will return as Mickey, many fans love his character so hopefully, we'll see him return once again.
1. Paul Rudd as Jericho
If there's one guest star I cannot get out of my head, it's Paul Rudd. Rudd has been a mainstay in Hollywood for years and is also the voice actor for Jericho. Yes, Tina's imaginary horse is voiced by Paul Rudd. While it might seem odd, he's such a fun addition and Rudd honestly gives his all to the performance, especially in the season 6 episode, "The Horse Rider-er." The banter between Jericho and Tina is just too good which is featured in the clip above.
While Jericho hasn't been featured much in the series, Rudd did return to voice him in The Bob's Burgers Movie. Once again, this is a case where we need to see more Jericho because Paul Rudd is just awesome. If you haven't watched the episode and experienced the joy of Jericho yet, then you need to saddle up and watch the episode.
Bob's Burgers and the Bob's Burgers Movie are currently streaming on Hulu.
