'''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 20 years. As discussed below, Lazlow's in-game character is one of very few to crossover between the GTA III and GTA IV eras.

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 is.

===Crossover continuities===
===Crossover continuities===
Although the GTA III games and GTA IV are supposed to exist in different [[Universes]], the character of Lazlow, just as [[Fernando Martinez]], [[Jack Howitzer]], and the mascot [[Derek the Dodo]], appears to be an exception, as he makes many references to his past experiences as chronicled in the GTA III-era games, including direct references to Chatterbox and Vice City, among others. Presumably, in terms of GTA IV's storytelling, this simply indicates that those events and locations are common to both continuities. Lazlow does not make any reference to storyline events (i.e. the San Andreas riot of 1992, [[Phil Collins]] performing in Vice City in 1984), nor storyline characters. Lazlow has made more appearances than any other characters in GTA, appearing since GTA III, with the exception of GTA Advance (due to hardware limitations), as a radio DJ each time.
