Can’t sleep? In the Season 15 finale of Bob’s Burgers, titled “Insomnibob,” which aired on August 14, neither can burger-flipper Bob Belcher (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin). His insomnia is driven by his weariness over the exhausting day-to-day monotony of running his restaurant and raising his three kids. At the same time, he’s reading a book from a word-traveling culinary whiz Skip Marooch (voiced by guest actor and Only Murders in the Building starKumail Nanjiani), and looking at his own notebook of half-baked ideas.
On the third night, Bob declares, “If I can’t sleep, then I’ll cook,” and goes downstairs to the restaurant. He soon discovers the bliss of having a few quiet hours to work on his passion: cooking. After a few more nights, Bob’s had breakthroughs on an anchovy sauce, but he’s also having breakdowns from lack of rest. In a particularly wild moment, Skip comes to life from the cover of his book, and he and Bob share a late-night song called “Burger of the Night.”
