‘Bob’s Burgers’ actor Eugene Mirman pulled from fiery crash and hospitalized

Eugene Mirman, the voice actor for Bob Belcher on “Bob’s Burgers” and a comedian, was rescued from a serious car accident and is currently hospitalized with injuries.

On Tuesday morning, a car driven by Mirman struck the Bedford Toll Plaza in New Hampshire while heading north on the F.E. Everett Turnpike. Witnesses reported the car was on fire and the driver was stuck inside. While police were on their way to the scene, Governor Kelly Ayotte and her security team arrived and stopped to offer assistance.

A state trooper working with the governor, along with two other people, rescued Mirman from the burning car by pulling him out a window before emergency services could get there. Colonel Mark Hall of the State Police said Governor Ayotte also grabbed a fire extinguisher.

Hall described their actions as heroic, explaining that they immediately risked their own safety to help someone in need.

The actor was seriously injured in an accident and taken to the hospital by ambulance. Videos from the scene show the vehicle was heavily damaged and caught fire.

Comedian Eugene Mirman was involved in a serious car accident, his agent, Jay Glassner, confirmed Wednesday. Mirman expressed his gratitude to those who helped him, including the people who stopped at the scene, the state police, first responders, and hospital staff. He is recovering and asks for privacy for himself and his family during this time.

Loren Bouchard, the creator of “Bob’s Burgers,” and the show’s cast talk about how the series became known as a reliably cozy and enjoyable watch, the unique relationships within the Belcher family, and some of their most beloved episodes.

The crash remains under investigation.

The popular animated show “Bob’s Burgers,” about a family who owns a restaurant, recently reached a milestone with its 300th episode, “Grand Pre-Pre-Pre-Opening.” The episode aired when the show’s sixteenth season began in the fall.

Often referred to as a “comfort show,” the series features Mirman as kid brother Gene Belcher.

I recently heard the actor describe the film as genuinely heartwarming and funny, but also surprisingly realistic. It’s not over-the-top or fantastical; it feels very down-to-earth, and that’s what I think will really connect with audiences.

Mirman added that the cast shares a really wonderful, sibling-like bond. It feels similar to the team spirit seen in 1980s TV shows and movies – the kinds of things she grew up with.
