He is better known to some blockbuster film audiences perhaps as the voice of villain Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy (all of which were parodied by RiffTrax) and for Disney's The Lion King.
Jones appears in Experiment 403 City Limits. Upon introducing the film to the SOL crew, Dr. Forrester remarks that this was done during a low point in Jone's otherwise fantastic career. Throughout the series and especially during this movie riffing, Joel and the Bots (mainly Crow) made amusing references to Jones stint as being the voice of CNN Cable TV News (from the 90s to present day).
