'''Jeffrey Crawford "Lazlow" Jones''' is an American talk show host who in real life was involved in writing and producing ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' games. He voices a character of the same name in many ''GTA'' games. The fictional rendition of Lazlow is that of a [[Wave of Celebrity in the HD Universe|radio host]] with a media career of more than 30 years, as of the events in ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]''. However, he comes across as an insecure, vain, pathetic, ill-mannered, whiny, creepy, and perverted weakling, qualities that are played for laughs in the games.
   
  +
==History==
'''Lazlow Jones''' is a real-life American talk show host who is involved in writing and producing [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto games]]. He voices a character of the same name in many GTA games; the in-game Lazlow is an insecure, ill-mannered radio host who has nonetheless managed to retain work across the GTA rendition of the [[United States of America|United States]] for over 25 years.
 
  +
===3D Universe===
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories''====
  +
{{Quote|I'm not the intern, I'm the co-host almost.|Lazlow Jones to [[Couzin Ed]] on [[V-Rock]].|sound=LazlowJones-GTAVCS-Quote.ogg}}
  +
Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the [[V-Rock]] radio station based in {{WP|Reddick, Florida}}. Some time between [[1984]] and [[1986]], V-Rock moved to [[Vice City (3D Universe)|Vice City]].
   
  +
Lazlow's profile on the [[Fame or Shame]] [[Websites in GTA V|website]] claims he was a teenager when his career began. He was the sidekick of then-DJ [[Couzin Ed]] circa 1984, as heard in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]''. They frequently despised each other on air, as Couzin Ed had a rawer rock lifestyle and got the job writing his resume on rolling paper, while Lazlow just got his broadcaster degree and sent a resume in manuscript and with a bouquet of flowers.
   
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City''====
==In the GTA series==
 
  +
{{Quote|Welcome back. You're listening to V-Rock. Let's get on with the rock and roll. I'm Lazlow. Enjoy this one, it's really special.|Lazlow Jones on [[V-Rock]], before playing {{WP|Quiet Riot}}'s "{{WP|Cum On Feel the Noize}}".|sound=LazlowJones-GTAVC-Quote.ogg}}
  +
Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of [[V-Rock]]. Couzin Ed would call him to the station in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', revealing that Lazlow's lower wage was the reason he took his job away from him.
   
  +
During his tenure as the DJ of V-Rock, he began exhibiting a ''bad boy'' attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him.
===GTA III Era===
 
   
Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the [[V-Rock]] radio station in [[Vice City in GTA Vice City|Vice City]]. He was the sidekick of then-DJ [[Couzin Ed]]. (As heard in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]). Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of VROCK, exhibiting a 'bad boy' attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him; he was fired from the radio station shortly after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].
+
He was fired from the radio station after the events of ''GTA Vice City'', sometime between 1986 and 1992. An exclusive dialogue not featured in the game, and featured instead on a bonus track in the V-Rock CD from the 7-CD ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set]]'', shows that Lazlow was fired for complaining about his wage, letting his big ego get the best of him, and breaking a glass in the studio. On the contrary, on [[Integrity 2.0]], he implies he was fired from V-Rock for having sex with a young female intern.
   
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''====
Lazlow re-emerged in the early 1990's on the national scene as the new host of the syndicated radio show ''[[West Coast Talk Radio|Entertaining America]]'', replacing the original host after his untimely death at the hands of a roid-raging [[Jack Howitzer]]. Lazlow lost this job due to alcoholism some time after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].
 
  +
{{Quote|Welcome to Entertaining America, this is Lazlow. I gotta say it, pardon me, but uh... Don't call it comeback, I've been here for years, just unemployed. But, I'm back, running the media.|Lazlow Jones in [[Entertaining America]].|Sound=LazlowJones-GTASA-Quote.ogg}}
  +
At one point, he became so desperate, Lazlow called the radio show [[I Say/You Say]] begging for work. Lazlow re-emerged in [[1992]] on the national scene as the new host of the [[Los Santos (3D Universe)|Los Santos]]-based syndicated [[West Coast Talk Radio]] show ''[[Entertaining America]]'', replacing the original host [[Billy Dexter]] after his untimely accidental death at the hands of a roid-raging [[Jack Howitzer]].
   
  +
He seemed to be somewhat out of touch and confused about the new media trends at this point, as in his interview with [[OG Loc]] he thought that contemporary rappers still did windmills and other '80s {{WP|breakdance}} moves, and when his misunderstandings make OG Loc so angry that he points a gun at him, Lazlow, clearly panicked, tries to fix things claiming he is ''"just coming down from the 80s"''.
In 1998, Lazlow hosted ''Chatterbox'', a talk show on [[LCFR|Liberty City Free Radio]] where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests, as featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. It is mentioned that he had been run out of Vice City and San Andreas, although Lazlow at one point waxes nostalgic about working in Vice City. At one point Lazlow also makes a cryptic statement about himself and someone called "Donald" having big plans for LCFR.
 
   
  +
Judging by his comments later on the radio, it is implied that in between 1986 and 1992 he developed problems with [[drugs]] and alcohol, and that he did something to his mother that is illegal in most states.
By 2001 (and the events of [[Grand Theft Auto III]]), Lazlow and Donald - now revealed to be [[Donald Love]] - had taken over the operation of LCFR, which was now renamed [[Chatterbox FM]].

{{Quote|This is the show that gives Liberty City a voice, you know... prescreened over the phone.|Lazlow Jones on "Chatterbox" talk show.|Sound=LazlowJones-GTALCS-Quote.ogg}}
Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job, was divorced by his wife, got arrested for peeing at a [[Liberty City Swingers]] game in 2002 and developed a taste for exposing himself to old women on the streets; he was arrested for this in 2005. Deciding to try a return to radio, Lazlow raised enough funds in [[2008]] to start up a new radio station in [[Algonquin]], named [[Integrity 2.0]]. His program on the station involves himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets; unfortunately, his interviewing manner is poor, and it seems that his fame has waned — the people on the street whom he interviews show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even "Radio 2.0", as Lazlow calls it). During the show he makes a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He is always introducing Integrity 2.0 as "The Lazlow Show," also, he makes a comment, "...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents..." which is a reference to the intro of The Lazlow Show in late 2006.
 
  +
Lazlow lost his WCTR job due to alcoholism and possibly drug abuse sometime after the events of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.
   
  +
It is hinted by some of the comments he makes on Chatterbox FM in ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' that in between his job in ''GTA: San Andreas'' and his appearance in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'' circa [[1998]], he was working in {{WP|Malaysia}} digging sewage ditches just outside of {{WP|Kuala Lumpur}}.
Lazlow is sponsored by [[ZiT]], a program that will identify songs playing on the radio; he "presents" the company's automated greeting messages but the ZiT adverts still make fun of his need to be in the public eye, "... Our needy, washed up celebrity"
 
   
  +
In 1998, Lazlow lived in [[Liberty City (3D Universe)|Liberty City]] and hosted ''"Chatterbox"'', a talk show on [[Liberty City Free Radio]] where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests. It is mentioned that he had been run out of Vice City and [[State of San Andreas (3D Universe)|San Andreas]], although Lazlow at one point gets nostalgic over working in Vice City back in the 1980s. At one point, Lazlow also makes a cryptic statement about himself and someone called "Donald" having big plans for LCFR.
By 2008, Lazlow is forty-six, having been born in 1962. Note that the storylines of the [[GTA III Era]] and [[GTA IV Era]] are not related. In the two DLCs (The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony), ZiT has dropped sponsorship for him and he has taken a haitus to find a sponsor for his show. He apparenty got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called "[[Isaac Hammerstein and Daughters Funeral Services|Issac Hammerstein &amp; Daughter's Funeral Service]]". Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as ugly and obese) and called his step-father a cockface on radio. He also gets a side kick called Georgie who is an illegal immigrant from South America. He often laughs in Lazlow's face when he gets insulted and Lazlow threatens to get him deported.
 
   
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto III''====
He also has a LCPD record but the LCPD don't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname, in the GTA world, is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD, as they never asked Lazlow what is his surname.
 
  +
By [[2001]], during the events of ''GTA III'', Lazlow and Donald (now revealed to be [[Donald Love]]), had taken over the operation of LCFR, which was now renamed [[Chatterbox FM]]. It is revealed during his tenure here that sometime between his time in Vice City and here, Lazlow married an unnamed woman, which he would occasionally mention on radio.
   
  +
Although this is Lazlow's fifth appearance in the in-universe chronology of the ''GTA games'', as ''GTA III'' was the first [[3D Universe]] game to be released this is his first real-life appearance in a ''Grand Theft Auto'' game. Thus, some "early installment" features of his personality that were later scrapped are shown.
==LCPD Database information==
 
   
  +
Lazlow in ''GTA III'' was a sane, calm, composed, rational and down-to-earth man, who would respond with an "only sane man" attitude to the crazy and eccentric remarks of his callers. This comes across as shocking when seeing how his personality changed and became exaggerated through later games in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' series.

===HD Universe===
'''Age''': 46<br />
 
  +
Lazlow, along with other radio personalities, also exists in the [[HD Universe]] canon of the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series.
   
  +
He is first mentioned on the radio, raising funds for his new radio project, [[Integrity 2.0]]. He is referred to as the host of the "long-defunct Chatterbox FM". The station also lists every other radio job Lazlow had, including working at V-Rock in 1984 and 1986, and Entertaining America on WCTR in 1992, meaning that those radio shows also existed in some form in the HD Universe canon.
'''Place of Birth''': Midwest<br />
 
   
  +
His HD Universe counterpart is also mentioned to be older than his real-life persona, and he was born in the Midwest, unlike his 3D Universe counterpart who was born in Upstate Liberty on the East Coast.

{{Quote|Alright, you're back. It's the Lazlow Show on Integrity. Integrity is the name of the station. I'm out here walking on the streets of Liberty City, doing a live radio show. Meeting the real citizens of the city, you know... Getting urban, you know... like a music video.|Lazlow Jones on his live radio show on [[Integrity 2.0]].|Sound=LazlowJones-GTAIV-Quote.ogg}}
  +
Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job a year later, in [[2002]], because of a {{WP|payola}} scandal he was involved in, and his wife divorced him shortly afterwards when he drugged a woman and brought her home requesting a three-way; On Integrity 2.0, he also implied his wife left him because she found out about the affair he had with the young female intern back in [[Vice City (HD Universe)|Vice City]]. Lazlow's ex-wife then married his former best friend, causing him to obsess over her for several years following their divorce, which he also later claims creeped out the women he dated following his divorce.
   
  +
He was arrested multiple times over the next several years, including an arrest for publicly urinating at a [[Liberty City Swingers]] game in 2002, and another for exposing himself to old women on the streets in [[2005]]. Deciding to try and make a comeback as a radio personality, he returned to [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]]. Lazlow raised enough funds by [[2008]] to start up a new radio station in [[Algonquin]], named [[Integrity 2.0]]. His program on the station involved himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets. Unfortunately, his interviewing manner was now poorer than it used to be and nowhere near the composed and down-to-earth attitude he indicated in ''GTA III''. It also seems that his popularity had waned since he was last on the air; the people on the street whom he interviews often show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even ''"Radio 2.0"'', as Lazlow calls this new approach for radio).
*1994 - Stalking
 
   
  +
By that time, Lazlow had become notably more unhinged and prone to violence than previous depictions, as he openly expressed a desire to rip people's heads off or bite them on the cheek for doing things that annoyed him. He ended up being incredibly rude to the few people he interviewed who do not initially show any disdain for him, even going as far as to push a hot dog vendor's face into a pot of boiling hot water for joking about Lazlow's name and appearance (calling Lazlow a "clown" and a "hippie"), and spitting in the back of a cab because the driver suggested he bring back some of his old Chatterbox FM guests, which Lazlow took as an insult. He also allowed a man implied to be a {{WP|pedophile}} to masturbate as he talked about schools while on the air. During the show, he also made a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He always introduced Integrity 2.0 as ''"The Lazlow Show"'', he also made a particular comment: ''"...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents..."'' which was a reference to the intro of his real-life ''"{{WP|The Lazlow Show}}"'' in late [[2006]].
*1998 - Forcible Touching
 
  +
  +
Lazlow was briefly sponsored by [[ZiT]], a program that identified songs playing on the radio. He was the voice of the company's automated greeting messages, but the ZiT adverts still made fun of his need to be in the public eye, referring to him as ''"...our needy, washed up celebrity"''.
  +
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City''====
  +
In the two DLCs, ''[[The Lost and Damned]]'' and ''[[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', ZiT had dropped sponsorship for him and he took a brief hiatus to find a sponsor for his show. He apparently got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called ''"[[Isaac Hammerstein and Daughters Funeral Services]]"''. Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as "ugly" and "obese") and he called his step-father a "cockface" on radio, while also implying he dislikes his step-sisters because they rejected his sexual advances. He also got a sidekick that he called ''"[[Jorge (The Ballad of Gay Tony)|Georgie]]"'', who was an illegal immigrant from Honduras. "Georgie" often laughed in Lazlow's face when he got insulted by people, prompting Lazlow to threaten to have him deported.
  +
  +
He also has an [[Liberty City Police Department (HD Universe)|LCPD]] record but the LCPD apparently doesn't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD officers who arrested and booked him, as they never asked Lazlow his surname. However, oddly, he is still listed alphabetically under the letter "J".
  +
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto V''====
  +
By [[2013]], he returned to [[Los Santos (HD Universe)|Los Santos]], and started working for WCTR again. He now co-hosts a show called ''"[[Chattersphere]]"'', in reference to Chatterbox, with much younger female host [[Michele Makes]]. He is also presenter of the reality show ''"[[Fame or Shame]]"'', and is constantly mocked by the judges and polls made by the program. He seems to have a rivalry with [[Hugh Harrison]], as the two constantly trade insults and are shown to have been in physical altercations in several previous episodes. It is also revealed at one point that Lazlow accepted sex from an obese [[Ireland|Irish]] woman in exchange for advancing her to the finals.
  +
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', Lazlow is first seen at the [[Maze Bank Arena]] [[Fame or Shame (mission)|hosting auditions]] for Fame or Shame. [[Michael De Santa]]'s daughter, [[Tracey De Santa|Tracey]], is trying out for the show with a sexually suggestive dancing routine. [[Trevor Phillips|Trevor]] and Michael arrive and see Lazlow dancing inappropriately with Tracey. Unable to watch any more, Michael loses his temper and pushes Lazlow to the ground, who calls security and runs away, causing Michael and Trevor to chase after him. Lazlow escapes in his car but it eventually loses battery life, leaving him trapped in the [[Los Santos Storm Drain (HD Universe)|Los Santos Storm Drain]]. Michael and Trevor catch up to him, with Trevor forcing Lazlow to remove his pants and to dance in his underwear while he video records it on his [[Mobile Phone|phone]]. As Lazlow is running away, Trevor then announces that he plans to post the video online and that ''"the world is gonna see your shit"''.
  +
  +
Later on, Lazlow meets Tracey at [[Blazing Tattoo]], where Tracey tries to get back on Fame or Shame after Michael and Trevor ruined her first audition. He agrees to let her back on the show in exchange for a {{WP|oral sex|blowjob}}, which a recently arrived Michael overhears. Michael proceeds to pierce Lazlow's eyebrow, nose, and ear, tattoo a penis on his chest or back and snip off his ponytail before demanding he put Tracey on his show without anything in return. Lazlow initially claims he was assaulted by a deranged fan, but later claims it is his new look.
  +
  +
If the player watches TV, they can see Tracey's episode of Fame or Shame, in which she sings the song "[[Daddy Issues]]". Despite Lazlow's attempts to get Tracey to win, she loses to Three Masturbating Monkeys. This episode can be seen in ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]''.
  +
  +
He is later seen interviewing a few celebrities at the [[Meltdown (GTA V)|premier]] of Michael's new film ''"[[Meltdown (film)|Meltdown]]"'' at the [[Oriental Theater]], where he seems to now have a job as an interviewer for [[Weazel News]], as his mic flag has the Weazel logo on it, as well as the game showing the interview airing live on Weazel during the mission. Upon seeing Michael, he nervously and hastily retreats inside, pulling the cameraman along with him.
  +
  +
''GTA V'' marks the first time that Lazlow not only has an actual appearance, but also plays a direct role in a storyline, and is interacted with by one of the protagonists.
  +
  +
====Events of ''Grand Theft Auto Online''====
  +
{{Quote|Bad news. Well not bad news. Annoying news. yes, annoying news. This idiot has come by. You'll see. It's Vinewood, I guess. There's lots of idiots. Tx|[[Tony Prince]] text message to the player announcing Lazlow's appearance}}
  +
Five years after the events of ''GTA V'', Lazlow appears in ''GTA Online'' with the introduction of [[Nightclubs]] in the [[GTA Online: After Hours]] update. He has shorter hair, a different nose and ear ring, and a more run-down wardrobe.
  +
  +
He is in the new venue when the [[GTA Online Protagonist|player]] first enters to meet Tony Prince, rehearsing an unwanted live performance of his [[Fame or Shame]] show. Tony treats him with disdain, stating "This live version of an awful TV show is not happening". Lazlow begs to be allowed to DJ at the club but is dismissed by Tony. When a [[Solomun|real DJ]] is recruited, Lazlow acts as MC to introduce the DJ.
  +
  +
Lazlow is left with the responsibility of attracting NPC VIPs and [[Wave of Celebrity in the HD Universe|celebrities]] to the club, issuing instructions to the player as part of the [[Nightclubs/Nightclub Management|Promote Club]] work, although it is clear that most of the celebrities actually want nothing to do with him. Lazlow will announce any celebrity appearances in the club over the PA.
  +
  +
Lazlow will remain in the club permanently, and his actions will reflect the popularity of the club. When the club is popular and busy, he will be found dancing on either level, often with props. If the club's popularity declines, he will be increasingly depressed, sometimes in the office area.
  +
  +
When picking up [[Tale Of Us]] from [[Los Santos International Airport (HD Universe)|the airport]], [[English Dave]] tells the player that the DJs requested to be picked up in a [[Enus]] [[Stafford]]. When they successfully arrive at the nightclub, Dave realizes that the request for being picked up in a Stafford was actually Lazlow's.
  +
  +
==Character==
  +
===Personality===
  +
In earlier games in the [[3D Universe]], Lazlow was depicted as one of the more "sane", stable, and seemingly decent people in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' universe, especially on the radio. He was often shocked and fed up with the various eccentrics and con-men he interviewed.
  +
  +
This is especially notable in the first game of the 3D Universe and the first game in where Lazlow appeared, ''GTA III'', when he was a sane, calm, composed, rational and down-to-earth man, who would respond with an "only sane man" attitude to the crazy and eccentric remarks of his callers on the [[Chatterbox FM]] radio.
  +
  +
As the series progressed, Lazlow began developing his own eccentric, deviant, and sometimes illegal behaviors. This resulted in him being fired from or forced out of a series of hosting jobs under cloudy circumstances.
  +
  +
In the [[HD Universe]], Lazlow has become a washed-up former radio star in denial of how far he has fallen. As a result, his personality flits between self-loathing, nervousness, desperation, arrogance and self-aggrandizement.
  +
  +
In ''GTA V'', Lazlow is written more specifically as a parody of American Idol host {{WP|Ryan Seacrest}}, hosting vote-in talent show ''[[Fame or Shame]]'' alongside his radio gigs. By this time, Lazlow's personal life has reached its nadir. His inappropriate sexual urges have cost him several jobs and resulted in multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against him, he struggles unsuccessfully to maintain a youthful appearance despite his obvious aging, and he is constantly belittled and mocked by those around him, including his much younger and already more successful radio co-host, Michele Makes. This results in a breakdown during a radio interview with [[Brother Adrian]], the founder of the cult [[Children of the Mountain]], causing Lazlow to rant about his decline in popularity and difficulty keeping work, the shame he's brought to himself and his family, and his ever-increasing desperation to stay on the air leading him to less-and-less dignified work.
  +
  +
Lazlow is also somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to cults as during a broadcast of ''Chattersphere'', Lazlow makes comments about creating his own cult if he ever went to {{WP|Mars}}, this is mentioned not long before Brother Adrian calls, whom Lazlow then immediately makes disparaging comments regarding cults.

==In Real Life==
*2001 - Bribery
 
  +
Behind the scenes, Lazlow is one of the writers of the game's script, providing political and cultural satire on the radio, and writing dialogue for street NPCs. Lazlow arranged voice cameos in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' games for several key figures, many of whom are real life friends of his, such as [[Reed Tucker]], Big Wayne Oliver, [[Fred Armisen]], [[Frank Chavez]], [[Anthony Cumia]], {{WP|Patrice O’Neal}}, [[Bill Burr]], [[Wil Wheaton]] and [[Couzin Ed]]. He even arranged voice cameos for members of the hacker magazine ''"{{WP|2600: The Hacker Quarterly}}"'', including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick. In April 2020, Lazlow resigned from Rockstar Games during the COVID-19 pandemic to care for his sister and family. Exactly a year later, Lazlow joined [[Dan Houser]]'s next company, Absurd Ventures.
   
  +
''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' was Lazlow’s first ''GTA'' game. He produced, scripted and hosted the popular [[Chatterbox FM]] radio station. He co-wrote the other radio station dialogue with [[Dan Houser]] of [[Rockstar Games]].
*2002 - Public Lewdness
 
   
  +
After gaining great popularity for his ''GTA III'' work, Lazlow took a larger role in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''. Rockstar hired Lazlow's production company, ''Radio Lazlow'', to co-write and produce all the radio stations in ''GTA Vice City'', as well as minor character and pedestrian dialogue. He was also the host of Vice City radio station [[V-Rock]], referring to a comment made offhand in ''GTA III'', that he only worked at Chatterbox FM ''"because [he] got kicked off the rock station"''.
*2004 - Bribery
 
   
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', he co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting ''Entertaining America'' on [[WCTR]] and being caller on ''[[I Say/You Say]]''.
*2005 - Exposure Of A Person
 
   
  +
He also returned as host of the ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'' version of the Chatterbox radio show, although this time, his role was smaller — during the setting of the game, Chatterbox is merely a single show on a station, not an entire station on its own.
'''Notes''':
 
   
  +
Lazlow returned in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'' as an intern at V-Rock, working for his real life friend, [[Couzin Ed]]. Earlier in Lazlow's and Couzin Ed's real-life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.
*Hosted popular radio show on Chatterbox.
 
   
  +
As Lazlow was involved in writing the radio content for all the 3D Universe games, he was able to create continuity between the games, even though they were released out of chronological order. This continuity built through the many games of the series is one of the few direct links between the [[3D Universe|3D]] and the [[HD Universe]]s, as the two do not otherwise share much continuity.
*Twice charged for payola scandals in 2001 and 2004.
 
   
  +
For example, in ''GTA III'', Lazlow and [[Donald Love]] are said to be in charge of operating Chatterbox FM, a situation established in dialogue written for [[LCFR]] in ''Liberty City Stories''. And characters mentioned in passing might later appear in a later game (such as [[Crow]], who is referenced in a passing-by manner in ''GTA San Andreas'', and appears on the air in ''Liberty City Stories'').
*Arrested for public urination at a Liberty Swingers game in 2002.
 
   
  +
Another example of this continuity is when in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' Lazlow is referred to on other channels as the host of the "long-defunct" Chatterbox FM, and who is raising money for a new venture, despite this title being set in an entirely separate canon from the previous titles.

*Lazlow's appearance in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' contradicts a description of him on [[Integrity 2.0]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City|Episodes from Liberty City]]''. Lazlow has a full head of hair in ''GTA V'', but on Integrity, a passer-by mentions that he is bald. This could possibly mean he either has a wig, managed to grow his hair back, or that indeed Lazlow had hair and the passer-by just wanted to taunt him by saying that he was bald.

Wikipedia has an article on: Lazlow Jones
Trevor: "What's your talent? Huh? I mean, aside from love and sex."
Lazlow: "Dude, haven't you seen my show? It's not live, it's not funny. That's my genius. I got no fucking talent."
―Lazlow, after being chased and cornered by Trevor and Michael.

Jeffrey Crawford "Lazlow" Jones is an American talk show host who in real life was involved in writing and producing Grand Theft Auto games. He voices a character of the same name in many GTA games. The fictional rendition of Lazlow is that of a radio host with a media career of more than 30 years, as of the events in Grand Theft Auto Online. However, he comes across as an insecure, vain, pathetic, ill-mannered, whiny, creepy, and perverted weakling, qualities that are played for laughs in the games.

History

3D Universe

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

I'm not the intern, I'm the co-host almost.
— Lazlow Jones to Couzin Ed on V-Rock.

Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the V-Rock radio station based in Reddick, Florida. Some time between 1984 and 1986, V-Rock moved to Vice City.

Lazlow's profile on the Fame or Shame website claims he was a teenager when his career began. He was the sidekick of then-DJ Couzin Ed circa 1984, as heard in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. They frequently despised each other on air, as Couzin Ed had a rawer rock lifestyle and got the job writing his resume on rolling paper, while Lazlow just got his broadcaster degree and sent a resume in manuscript and with a bouquet of flowers.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Welcome back. You're listening to V-Rock. Let's get on with the rock and roll. I'm Lazlow. Enjoy this one, it's really special.
— Lazlow Jones on V-Rock, before playing Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel the Noize".

Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of V-Rock. Couzin Ed would call him to the station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, revealing that Lazlow's lower wage was the reason he took his job away from him.

During his tenure as the DJ of V-Rock, he began exhibiting a bad boy attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him.

He was fired from the radio station after the events of GTA Vice City, sometime between 1986 and 1992. An exclusive dialogue not featured in the game, and featured instead on a bonus track in the V-Rock CD from the 7-CD Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set, shows that Lazlow was fired for complaining about his wage, letting his big ego get the best of him, and breaking a glass in the studio. On the contrary, on Integrity 2.0, he implies he was fired from V-Rock for having sex with a young female intern.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Welcome to Entertaining America, this is Lazlow. I gotta say it, pardon me, but uh... Don't call it comeback, I've been here for years, just unemployed. But, I'm back, running the media.
— Lazlow Jones in Entertaining America.

At one point, he became so desperate, Lazlow called the radio show I Say/You Say begging for work. Lazlow re-emerged in 1992 on the national scene as the new host of the Los Santos-based syndicated West Coast Talk Radio show Entertaining America, replacing the original host Billy Dexter after his untimely accidental death at the hands of a roid-raging Jack Howitzer.

He seemed to be somewhat out of touch and confused about the new media trends at this point, as in his interview with OG Loc he thought that contemporary rappers still did windmills and other '80s breakdance moves, and when his misunderstandings make OG Loc so angry that he points a gun at him, Lazlow, clearly panicked, tries to fix things claiming he is "just coming down from the 80s".

Judging by his comments later on the radio, it is implied that in between 1986 and 1992 he developed problems with drugs and alcohol, and that he did something to his mother that is illegal in most states.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

This is the show that gives Liberty City a voice, you know... prescreened over the phone.
— Lazlow Jones on "Chatterbox" talk show.

Lazlow lost his WCTR job due to alcoholism and possibly drug abuse sometime after the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

It is hinted by some of the comments he makes on Chatterbox FM in Grand Theft Auto III that in between his job in GTA: San Andreas and his appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories circa 1998, he was working in Malaysia digging sewage ditches just outside of Kuala Lumpur.

In 1998, Lazlow lived in Liberty City and hosted "Chatterbox", a talk show on Liberty City Free Radio where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests. It is mentioned that he had been run out of Vice City and San Andreas, although Lazlow at one point gets nostalgic over working in Vice City back in the 1980s. At one point, Lazlow also makes a cryptic statement about himself and someone called "Donald" having big plans for LCFR.

Events of Grand Theft Auto III

By 2001, during the events of GTA III, Lazlow and Donald (now revealed to be Donald Love), had taken over the operation of LCFR, which was now renamed Chatterbox FM. It is revealed during his tenure here that sometime between his time in Vice City and here, Lazlow married an unnamed woman, which he would occasionally mention on radio.

Although this is Lazlow's fifth appearance in the in-universe chronology of the GTA games, as GTA III was the first 3D Universe game to be released this is his first real-life appearance in a Grand Theft Auto game. Thus, some "early installment" features of his personality that were later scrapped are shown.

Lazlow in GTA III was a sane, calm, composed, rational and down-to-earth man, who would respond with an "only sane man" attitude to the crazy and eccentric remarks of his callers. This comes across as shocking when seeing how his personality changed and became exaggerated through later games in the Grand Theft Auto series.

HD Universe

Lazlow, along with other radio personalities, also exists in the HD Universe canon of the Grand Theft Auto series.

He is first mentioned on the radio, raising funds for his new radio project, Integrity 2.0. He is referred to as the host of the "long-defunct Chatterbox FM". The station also lists every other radio job Lazlow had, including working at V-Rock in 1984 and 1986, and Entertaining America on WCTR in 1992, meaning that those radio shows also existed in some form in the HD Universe canon.

His HD Universe counterpart is also mentioned to be older than his real-life persona, and he was born in the Midwest, unlike his 3D Universe counterpart who was born in Upstate Liberty on the East Coast.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV

Alright, you're back. It's the Lazlow Show on Integrity. Integrity is the name of the station. I'm out here walking on the streets of Liberty City, doing a live radio show. Meeting the real citizens of the city, you know... Getting urban, you know... like a music video.
— Lazlow Jones on his live radio show on Integrity 2.0.

Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job a year later, in 2002, because of a payola scandal he was involved in, and his wife divorced him shortly afterwards when he drugged a woman and brought her home requesting a three-way; On Integrity 2.0, he also implied his wife left him because she found out about the affair he had with the young female intern back in Vice City. Lazlow's ex-wife then married his former best friend, causing him to obsess over her for several years following their divorce, which he also later claims creeped out the women he dated following his divorce.

He was arrested multiple times over the next several years, including an arrest for publicly urinating at a Liberty City Swingers game in 2002, and another for exposing himself to old women on the streets in 2005. Deciding to try and make a comeback as a radio personality, he returned to Liberty City. Lazlow raised enough funds by 2008 to start up a new radio station in Algonquin, named Integrity 2.0. His program on the station involved himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets. Unfortunately, his interviewing manner was now poorer than it used to be and nowhere near the composed and down-to-earth attitude he indicated in GTA III. It also seems that his popularity had waned since he was last on the air; the people on the street whom he interviews often show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even "Radio 2.0", as Lazlow calls this new approach for radio).

By that time, Lazlow had become notably more unhinged and prone to violence than previous depictions, as he openly expressed a desire to rip people's heads off or bite them on the cheek for doing things that annoyed him. He ended up being incredibly rude to the few people he interviewed who do not initially show any disdain for him, even going as far as to push a hot dog vendor's face into a pot of boiling hot water for joking about Lazlow's name and appearance (calling Lazlow a "clown" and a "hippie"), and spitting in the back of a cab because the driver suggested he bring back some of his old Chatterbox FM guests, which Lazlow took as an insult. He also allowed a man implied to be a pedophile to masturbate as he talked about schools while on the air. During the show, he also made a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He always introduced Integrity 2.0 as "The Lazlow Show", he also made a particular comment: "...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents..." which was a reference to the intro of his real-life "The Lazlow Show" in late 2006.

Lazlow was briefly sponsored by ZiT, a program that identified songs playing on the radio. He was the voice of the company's automated greeting messages, but the ZiT adverts still made fun of his need to be in the public eye, referring to him as "...our needy, washed up celebrity".

Events of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

In the two DLCs, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, ZiT had dropped sponsorship for him and he took a brief hiatus to find a sponsor for his show. He apparently got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called "Isaac Hammerstein and Daughters Funeral Services". Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as "ugly" and "obese") and he called his step-father a "cockface" on radio, while also implying he dislikes his step-sisters because they rejected his sexual advances. He also got a sidekick that he called "Georgie", who was an illegal immigrant from Honduras. "Georgie" often laughed in Lazlow's face when he got insulted by people, prompting Lazlow to threaten to have him deported.

He also has an LCPD record but the LCPD apparently doesn't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD officers who arrested and booked him, as they never asked Lazlow his surname. However, oddly, he is still listed alphabetically under the letter "J".

Events of Grand Theft Auto V

By 2013, he returned to Los Santos, and started working for WCTR again. He now co-hosts a show called "Chattersphere", in reference to Chatterbox, with much younger female host Michele Makes. He is also presenter of the reality show "Fame or Shame", and is constantly mocked by the judges and polls made by the program. He seems to have a rivalry with Hugh Harrison, as the two constantly trade insults and are shown to have been in physical altercations in several previous episodes. It is also revealed at one point that Lazlow accepted sex from an obese Irish woman in exchange for advancing her to the finals.

In Grand Theft Auto V, Lazlow is first seen at the Maze Bank Arena hosting auditions for Fame or Shame. Michael De Santa's daughter, Tracey, is trying out for the show with a sexually suggestive dancing routine. Trevor and Michael arrive and see Lazlow dancing inappropriately with Tracey. Unable to watch any more, Michael loses his temper and pushes Lazlow to the ground, who calls security and runs away, causing Michael and Trevor to chase after him. Lazlow escapes in his car but it eventually loses battery life, leaving him trapped in the Los Santos Storm Drain. Michael and Trevor catch up to him, with Trevor forcing Lazlow to remove his pants and to dance in his underwear while he video records it on his phone. As Lazlow is running away, Trevor then announces that he plans to post the video online and that "the world is gonna see your shit".

Later on, Lazlow meets Tracey at Blazing Tattoo, where Tracey tries to get back on Fame or Shame after Michael and Trevor ruined her first audition. He agrees to let her back on the show in exchange for a blowjob, which a recently arrived Michael overhears. Michael proceeds to pierce Lazlow's eyebrow, nose, and ear, tattoo a penis on his chest or back and snip off his ponytail before demanding he put Tracey on his show without anything in return. Lazlow initially claims he was assaulted by a deranged fan, but later claims it is his new look.

If the player watches TV, they can see Tracey's episode of Fame or Shame, in which she sings the song "Daddy Issues". Despite Lazlow's attempts to get Tracey to win, she loses to Three Masturbating Monkeys. This episode can be seen in Grand Theft Auto Online.

He is later seen interviewing a few celebrities at the premier of Michael's new film "Meltdown" at the Oriental Theater, where he seems to now have a job as an interviewer for Weazel News, as his mic flag has the Weazel logo on it, as well as the game showing the interview airing live on Weazel during the mission. Upon seeing Michael, he nervously and hastily retreats inside, pulling the cameraman along with him.

GTA V marks the first time that Lazlow not only has an actual appearance, but also plays a direct role in a storyline, and is interacted with by one of the protagonists.

Bad news. Well not bad news. Annoying news. yes, annoying news. This idiot has come by. You'll see. It's Vinewood, I guess. There's lots of idiots. Tx
Tony Prince text message to the player announcing Lazlow's appearance

Five years after the events of GTA V, Lazlow appears in GTA Online with the introduction of Nightclubs in the GTA Online: After Hours update. He has shorter hair, a different nose and ear ring, and a more run-down wardrobe.

He is in the new venue when the player first enters to meet Tony Prince, rehearsing an unwanted live performance of his Fame or Shame show. Tony treats him with disdain, stating "This live version of an awful TV show is not happening". Lazlow begs to be allowed to DJ at the club but is dismissed by Tony. When a real DJ is recruited, Lazlow acts as MC to introduce the DJ.

Lazlow is left with the responsibility of attracting NPC VIPs and celebrities to the club, issuing instructions to the player as part of the Promote Club work, although it is clear that most of the celebrities actually want nothing to do with him. Lazlow will announce any celebrity appearances in the club over the PA.

Lazlow will remain in the club permanently, and his actions will reflect the popularity of the club. When the club is popular and busy, he will be found dancing on either level, often with props. If the club's popularity declines, he will be increasingly depressed, sometimes in the office area.

When picking up Tale Of Us from the airport, English Dave tells the player that the DJs requested to be picked up in a Enus Stafford. When they successfully arrive at the nightclub, Dave realizes that the request for being picked up in a Stafford was actually Lazlow's.

Character

Personality

In earlier games in the 3D Universe, Lazlow was depicted as one of the more "sane", stable, and seemingly decent people in the Grand Theft Auto universe, especially on the radio. He was often shocked and fed up with the various eccentrics and con-men he interviewed.

This is especially notable in the first game of the 3D Universe and the first game in where Lazlow appeared, GTA III, when he was a sane, calm, composed, rational and down-to-earth man, who would respond with an "only sane man" attitude to the crazy and eccentric remarks of his callers on the Chatterbox FM radio.

As the series progressed, Lazlow began developing his own eccentric, deviant, and sometimes illegal behaviors. This resulted in him being fired from or forced out of a series of hosting jobs under cloudy circumstances.

In the HD Universe, Lazlow has become a washed-up former radio star in denial of how far he has fallen. As a result, his personality flits between self-loathing, nervousness, desperation, arrogance and self-aggrandizement.

In GTA V, Lazlow is written more specifically as a parody of American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, hosting vote-in talent show Fame or Shame alongside his radio gigs. By this time, Lazlow's personal life has reached its nadir. His inappropriate sexual urges have cost him several jobs and resulted in multiple sexual harassment lawsuits against him, he struggles unsuccessfully to maintain a youthful appearance despite his obvious aging, and he is constantly belittled and mocked by those around him, including his much younger and already more successful radio co-host, Michele Makes. This results in a breakdown during a radio interview with Brother Adrian, the founder of the cult Children of the Mountain, causing Lazlow to rant about his decline in popularity and difficulty keeping work, the shame he's brought to himself and his family, and his ever-increasing desperation to stay on the air leading him to less-and-less dignified work.

Lazlow is also somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to cults as during a broadcast of Chattersphere, Lazlow makes comments about creating his own cult if he ever went to Mars, this is mentioned not long before Brother Adrian calls, whom Lazlow then immediately makes disparaging comments regarding cults.

In Real Life

Behind the scenes, Lazlow is one of the writers of the game's script, providing political and cultural satire on the radio, and writing dialogue for street NPCs. Lazlow arranged voice cameos in the Grand Theft Auto games for several key figures, many of whom are real life friends of his, such as Reed Tucker, Big Wayne Oliver, Fred Armisen, Frank Chavez, Anthony Cumia, Patrice O’Neal, Bill Burr, Wil Wheaton and Couzin Ed. He even arranged voice cameos for members of the hacker magazine "2600: The Hacker Quarterly", including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick. In April 2020, Lazlow resigned from Rockstar Games during the COVID-19 pandemic to care for his sister and family. Exactly a year later, Lazlow joined Dan Houser's next company, Absurd Ventures.

Grand Theft Auto III was Lazlow’s first GTA game. He produced, scripted and hosted the popular Chatterbox FM radio station. He co-wrote the other radio station dialogue with Dan Houser of Rockstar Games.

After gaining great popularity for his GTA III work, Lazlow took a larger role in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Rockstar hired Lazlow's production company, Radio Lazlow, to co-write and produce all the radio stations in GTA Vice City, as well as minor character and pedestrian dialogue. He was also the host of Vice City radio station V-Rock, referring to a comment made offhand in GTA III, that he only worked at Chatterbox FM "because [he] got kicked off the rock station".

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, he co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting Entertaining America on WCTR and being caller on I Say/You Say.

He also returned as host of the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories version of the Chatterbox radio show, although this time, his role was smaller — during the setting of the game, Chatterbox is merely a single show on a station, not an entire station on its own.

Lazlow returned in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories as an intern at V-Rock, working for his real life friend, Couzin Ed. Earlier in Lazlow's and Couzin Ed's real-life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.

As Lazlow was involved in writing the radio content for all the 3D Universe games, he was able to create continuity between the games, even though they were released out of chronological order. This continuity built through the many games of the series is one of the few direct links between the 3D and the HD Universes, as the two do not otherwise share much continuity.

For example, in GTA III, Lazlow and Donald Love are said to be in charge of operating Chatterbox FM, a situation established in dialogue written for LCFR in Liberty City Stories. And characters mentioned in passing might later appear in a later game (such as Crow, who is referenced in a passing-by manner in GTA San Andreas, and appears on the air in Liberty City Stories).

Another example of this continuity is when in Grand Theft Auto IV Lazlow is referred to on other channels as the host of the "long-defunct" Chatterbox FM, and who is raising money for a new venture, despite this title being set in an entirely separate canon from the previous titles.

Trivia

General

3D Universe

  • On the Chatterbox FM show, one of the callers asks if he's Hungarian. "László" is a common name in Hungary.

HD Universe

  • Lazlow's appearance in Grand Theft Auto V contradicts a description of him on Integrity 2.0 in Episodes from Liberty City. Lazlow has a full head of hair in GTA V, but on Integrity, a passer-by mentions that he is bald. This could possibly mean he either has a wig, managed to grow his hair back, or that indeed Lazlow had hair and the passer-by just wanted to taunt him by saying that he was bald.
    • A caricature artist also implies he is bald by drawing his head with a "helicopter landing pad" but Lazlow yells at him, saying not to focus on the bald spot.
  • Lazlow sponsors the Karin Dilettante and drives one during the mission Fame or Shame.
  • On two occasions, Lazlow admits that he doesn't actually perform live radio. In Grand Theft Auto IV, he says that Integrity 2.0 doesn't have the equipment to broadcast live, and makes a point of telling Michael and Trevor that he doesn't broadcast live during their confrontation in "Fame or Shame". This provides an in-universe explanation for why it's possible to (thanks to the randomness of the radio station programming) listen to Chattersphere during GTA V missions involving Lazlow.
  • During the Vinewood Star Tours, the tour guide shows the place where Lazlow was arrested for masturbating with an eggplant and shouting at women.
  • It is very likely that one or more of the protagonists could call or receive calls/texts from Lazlow in the early versions of GTA V, as there's a contact picture for him in the game files.
  • It is also possible that his appearance as a host on Fame or Shame is supposed to parody the appearance of Howard Stern (another controversial radio host) as a judge on America's Got Talent. Stern began appearing on America's Got Talent in 2012, however, it is unknown when Lazlow began his tenure as the host of Fame or Shame. It is also possible that it is supposed to parody the appearance of chat show host Jerry Springer as the host of the same show. Springer served as the host from 2007 until 2009 when he was replaced by Nick Cannon.
  • All the things that Lazlow does in the 3D Universe are also canon in the HD Universe according to the intro of the Episodes from Liberty City version of Integrity 2.0. [2] This is one of the only exceptions to Rockstar's rule of keeping the canon of the 3D Universe separate from the HD Universe beyond subtle references and Easter eggs.
