Support for show name change as Jase & Lauren go global

As the Californian adventure officially begins for Nova 100’s Jase & Lauren – with Jase Hawkins, Lauren Phillips and Clint Stanaway broadcasting live from the Golden State this morning – listeners are considering launching a petition to get Stanaway’s name added to the title of the Breakfast show.

Since Stanaway joined the team in 2021, his exclusion from the show’s title has been a recurring, often amusing topic of debate, both on-air and off.

After almost 25 years at Channel Nine, Stanaway left TV at the end of last year to focus on radio full-time.

Recently on the show, former Nine colleague Tony Jones jokingly said the #1 thing that will stick in his memory was Stanaway asking “Tone, do you reckon they’ll ever put my name on this Breakfast show?”

Even Phillips admitted it’s a bloody good question.

This week sees the brekky trio taking the show on the road across some iconic U.S locations as part of an on-air promotion with Visit California and Qantas.

In today’s show, the team recapped their first day in the City of Angels including a horse ride to the Hollywood sign and a night of karaoke and mechanical bulls.

Plus, Phillips surprised her co-hosts with a visit to her good friend Jimmy Kimmel, who caught up with the team after filming one of his shows.

A happy snap of the trio at the airport departure gates was posted to social media yesterday, prompting some big love for Stanaway … and an interesting wave of questions:

“Why isn’t Clint mentioned? Get Clint’s name in there, he contributes the same amount airtime as Jase & Lauren. C’Mon NOVA”

“Definitely needs Clint’s name in there.”

“Lauren, Jase and Clint!! Add his name for goodness sakes.”

“We need to start a petition, lol.”

 “I agree. He is part of the team.”

“Rename to Jase & Lauren with Clint Stanaway.”

“I think respect is due. He’s part of the team.”

What do you think?
