Samuel L. Jackson is now Alexa!

It’s finally here! The feature that we have been longing for has finally been added to Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa. Hollywood legend, Samuel L. Jackson’s voice is now part of the Alexa experience. For an introductory price of $0.99 (usual price: $4.99), you can have Samuel L. Jackson tell you the time, weather conditions, play your favorite music, tell jokes etc.

In order to purchase the voice pack, just say, “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson.” Then, choose whether you’d like Sam to use explicit language or not. This can be changed later, but we doubt you would want to do so. Once the purchase is complete, you can say the following:

“Alexa, ask Samuel L. Jackson where he is from.”
“Alexa, ask Sam to wake me up at 7am.”
“Alexa, ask Sam Jackson to sing happy birthday.”

That said, and unlike Alexa, the Samuel L. Jackson voice assistant has limited functionality and won’t be able to help with Shopping, lists, reminders or Skills.
But here is list of things that you can ask the Pulp Fiction star:
