Lazlow Jones is an American writer, producer, director and talk show host based in New York City. He was the host of Technofile, a radio show syndicated on more than 100 radio stations in America and as well as Sirius XM Satellite Radio. The Technofile ran from February 1995 to July 2007.
He has also been involved in writing and producing for Grand Theft Auto (GTA) video games, widening his influence and recognition far beyond that of a radio host. Lazlow also worked at an advertising agency as a writer and producer, along with writer Reed Tucker, (who is now his talk radio show's producer) on advertisements for a variety of consumer products.
The Lazlow Show
Lazlow hosts The Lazlow Show, which aired on the former WXRK (K-Rock) on Sundays 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time and is now heard on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 197 and XM 202. Both channels with an ID of "The Virus". The 23rd and final WXRK (K-Rock) show was broadcast December 18 2005. After the show stopped being broadcast on K-Rock, it has moved to a non-regular schedule on XM 202, beginning on April 8, 2006; these shows are usually made available in downloadable form on Lazlow's website shortly after they air; while the older shows have been, and are regularly removed from this website as new episodes are made available due to bandwidth restrictions. However, all his episodes ever produced, along with a bunch of extra stuff, can be purchased in a "box set" at Lazlow's website. The shows are three hours long, and are aired live on Saturday nights, at a period of between two weeks and four months between shows. The shows usually air on the first Saturday of the month (the trend so far). Lazlow has done a total of 37 shows. It runs on XM channel 202 as part of the "Saturday Night Virus" produced by Opie & Anthony Senior Producer Danny Ross. The most recent show, also called "episodes" ran on Saturday, December 6th, 2008. Lazlow's co-hosts continue to be the same from his show when it first aired on WXRK 92.3 FM: K-ROCK in New York. They include his friends Reed Tucker, who claims to be the producer - even though Lazlow jokingly says he's a "useless producer", along with "Big" Wayne - Lazlow's sidekick.
Next Episode...
Lazlow's website states there will be an Episode 38. So far, it looks like it will be hosted on Saturday, January 3rd, 2009 - at the regular, 9PM - 12MID slot on both XM 202 and Sirius 197. At the current time, the title of the episode is unknown.
Grand Theft Auto series
Grand Theft Auto III
Grand Theft Auto III (2001) was Lazlow’s first appearance in the game in which he produced, scripted and hosted the popular Chatterbox FM radio station made famous for comic sketches, political satire and clever wit. He co-wrote all of the radio stations with Dan Houser of Rockstar Games. He is mentioned in the MC Hawking song "GTA3" (about the video game) with the line "Sometimes I sit in my car and just listen to Lazlow. Rock the Chatterbox with the serious flow."
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
After great success Lazlow took a larger role in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Rockstar Games hired Lazlow's production company Radio Lazlow to co-write and produce all the radio stations in Vice City as well as minor character and bystander scripting. He was also the host of Vice City radio station V-Rock.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Lazlow also co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting Entertaining America on WCTR after the original host Billy Dexter was killed by game character Jack Howitzer on air.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Lazlow "returned" as host of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories's rendition of the Chatterbox radio show, although in a much smaller role as the in-game chronology has Chatterbox as merely a show on a channel, not an entire channel on its own.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
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 and Couzin Eds real life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Lazlow is the host of radio station Integrity 2.0 in Grand Theft Auto IV. Integrity's sole program consists of Lazlow's on-site reporting from around Liberty City. The content of this show is noticeably more profane than previous installments, with Lazlow's justification being that he's "fed up with the system." Lazlow also provides the Z.i.T. service, where listeners can request the artist and title of the song currently playing on the radio. Lazlow is also credited among others for creating the conversations of pedestrians in Liberty City.
Other projects
He has also written articles for Playboy magazine, and is a regular guest on the Opie and Anthony Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio which is also aired on various CBS Radio and Citadel Broadcasting affiliates. Lazlow is also affiliated with 2600, having appeared on their Off The Hook radio show, in their movie Freedom Downtime, and as a panelist and staffer at several of the H.O.P.E. conferences. Lazlow has arranged voice cameos in the GTA games for several key figures from the magazine, including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick.
