H. Jon Benjamin will meet H. Jon Benjamin.
H. Jon Benjamin has made quite a career with his unique voice in the past, working on such comedy cartoons as Adult Swim's Home Movies and Comedy Central's Dr. Katz. More recently, though, he's been voicing the title characters on FX's Archer and FOX's Bob's Burgers -- and recent reports reveal that you will soon be hearing both of his characters at once.
"[Archer creator Adam Reed] really likes Bob’s Burgers," Benjamin told EW.com. "And the fourth season has a Bob’s Burgers tie-in, which is really bizarre."
As Benjamin explained, the unorthodox crossover follows a kind of Bourne Identity plot line. "It starts off with Archer as Bob, making hamburgers, but he doesn't know that he’s Archer," said the voice actor. "He's at the restaurant and these, like, I think Russian thugs come in, and Bob dispatches them expertly. And then he's like, 'What just happened? How did I do that?' So he has to try to figure out why he's so good at killing people." Bob's wife Linda, voiced by John Roberts, will also be making an appearance.
As far as the animation style is concerned, Benjamin said it will still be animated like any other Archer episode, but with "the accoutrements and characteristics of the [Bob’s Burgers] characters."
