Grand Theft Auto (game show) (Johnsonverse)

Grand Theft Auto is an American game show based on the video game series of the same name. It has aired on G4 since September 8, 2012, and is hosted by Lazlow Jones, who has been involved in the series as a writer and producer, as well as voicing a fictionalized version of himself.

Format
All three players (one of whom is a returning champion, referred to as a "Surviving Contestant") are given $1,000 to start with, a prop weapon via a wheel (purportedly sponsored by Ammu-Nation). The player must answer three trivia questions about adult topics, and the person with the most dollars must go to the course, with some "very interesting characters", and do a mission (given through a payphone by the announcer) where they must "kill" characters in the process with the weapon, including prostitutes and police officers, for even more money (if the contestant is wasted or busted, they fail the mission and $100 is deducted from their score), hijack cars and return them to a garage, or rob stores, among other possibilities. All three people keep the money they won throughout the game. During the bonus round, the winner must do a Rampage, where they must "kill" civilians with the fake weapon. If the person "kills" 25 people, they win a prize selected from a series of ten envelopes, including money values and one of eight cars seen on the set.

The set is purposefully designed to resemble a crime-ridden city, with contestant podiums resembling newspaper dispensers, and the course featuring prop buildings and vehicles, being populated with "pedestrians" (played by various extras) and "employees" to occupy the stores.
