The only character to span all five mainline GTA games - and his embarrassing descent through each one.

Lazlow Jones is the most persistent character in the GTA franchise - appearing in some form in every mainline GTA game from III to V.

3D Universe: Radio Star

In GTA III, Lazlow hosts Chatterbox FM - a talk radio station that became iconic for its bizarre callers. In Vice City, he's a DJ on V-Rock. In San Andreas, he hosts Entertaining America. Across the 3D Universe, he's a somewhat respected (if pompous) media personality.

HD Universe: The Fall

By GTA IV, Lazlow hosts Integrity 2.0, a struggling interview show where he's clearly past his prime. In GTA V, he's hit rock bottom - hosting Fame or Shame, a talent show parody. Trevor catches Lazlow making inappropriate advances toward Tracey De Santa and humiliates him on camera.

Meta-Character

Lazlow Jones is also a real person - a writer, producer, and voice actor who has worked on every GTA game since GTA III. His in-game character is a satirical version of himself, making him one of gaming's most unusual recurring presences.
