Lane presided over the court show, "Judge Mills Lane". The court show lasted for three seasons, from 1998 to 2001. In addition to this show, the producers of MTV's "Celebrity Deathmatch" approached him about having his character and voice used in their show as the referee of their plasticine figure matches. Lane accepted the offer and became a MTV personality. As a referee, Lane started boxing matches by declaring "Let's get it on!", which became his catchphrase. This was reproduced in "Celebrity Deathmatch" as his character would shout the same phrase to initiate fights.
