In addition to the performances that led to "All Hail King Julien", Jacobs had been doing voice work for animated television series, including "Phineas and Ferb" (in which he provided additional voices) and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (in which he voiced Snake / Snakeweed), as well as several video games. He had said that animation, much like the theater, gives actors a chance to play a wide range of roles. He said: He had personally stated that King Julien is his favorite voice role and would gladly reprise his role if ever asked. Jacobs' performance had received more recognition than the character's predecessor Baron Cohen. In "" (2012), he provided Julien's singing voice for the soundtrack.
