Lazlow Jones (the character, not the producer who plays him) is the most commonly recurring character in the GTA franchise. He has a character arc that spans across several games:

• Chronologically, he starts his career as an intern for the V-Rock radio station in GTA: Vice City Stories. He works his way to become the head of the radio station in GTA: Vice City, but his increasing ego gets him fired.
• He later moves to Los Santos and replaces Billy Dexter in WCTR's Entertaining America in GTA: San Andreas. A sudden alcohol addiction costs him the job and he later flees Los Santos.
• In the late 90s, he goes to Liberty City and hosts Chatterbox on Liberty City Free Radio in GTA: Liberty City Stories. In GTA III, he and his partner Donald Love take over LCFR, renaming it to Chatterbox FM. He loses this job shortly after and his life spirals downward to a celebrity has-been.
• He makes a comeback with a new radio station in Algonquin called Integrity 2.0 in GTA IV. However, his "washed-up" celebrity status keeps it from being a hit.
• He moves back to Los Santos in GTA V, working in WCTR once more in a show called Chattersphere. He also makes his first physical appearance by hosting the talent show Fame or Shame.
