Bob’s Burgers Star Eugene Mirman in Hospital After Fiery Crash

Eugene Mirman just survived something absolutely terrifying. The beloved Bob’s Burgers voice actor—who’s literally been Gene Belcher for over 300 episodes—was hospitalized after a serious car crash that turned into a full-on fire.

We’re talking flames, people. The kind of accident that makes you grateful to be alive. Mirman was rushed to the hospital following the incident, and while details are still coming in, this is no minor fender bender situation.

The 51-year-old comedian and actor has been the voice of Gene since the show’s 2011 debut, bringing that chaotic, hilarious energy to one of TV’s most iconic characters. Fans immediately started flooding social media with concern for his wellbeing once news of the crash broke.

Mirman is currently recovering from the injuries he sustained. No word yet on exactly what went down or the timeline for his return to the recording booth, but honestly, health comes first.
