Jason hosted the Christmas in Summer Bay TV special for Home and Away in 2019.
This role came with a podcast series, which he also hosted and featured interviews with cast members.
On The Morning Show at the time, he was asked if he would ever return to Summer Bay.
‘If Robbie’s evil twin brother Bobby wants to return, I’m in,’ he remarked. I’d love to return if the proper narrative comes up.’
‘Returning to the show and entering through the Summer Bay house doors for the first episode gave me all the feels.’ ‘It felt like I never left,’ he said, referring to the TV special filming.
Jason hosted Nova FM’s Late Nights show for a year in 2016, in addition to his TV duties.
