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 " 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.
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".
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.
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". 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. 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 plays a direct role in a storyline, but is interacted with by one of the protagonists.
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.
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 they successfully arrive at the nightclub, Dave realizes that the request for being picked up in a Stafford was actually Lazlow's.
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.
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.
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. He even arranged voice cameos for members of the hacker magazine " The Hacker Quarterly " , including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S.
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. 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 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.
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. 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.
