The nearly year-long mystery of what was going on with Jubal Fresh at the syndicated Brooke & Jubal Show has come to an end as he has officially exited the show.
Rumblings started last September about the future of the program as the show was in extended reruns for a stretch and syndicator Premiere Networks registered multiple domains and social media accounts for an AlexAndJubal brand likely purporting to a show with Fresh and his wife Alex, who co-host a podcast together. After returning in the Fall when the show was , Jubal has been missing from the show since January.
As of Monday, April 20, Robert Feder reports that the program will be rebilled as “Brooke & Jeffrey in the Morning” as Executive Producer ‘Young Jeffrey’ Dubrow is promoted to co-host. Dubrow has been with flagship CHR “Movin 92.5” KQMV Seattle since 2010 and has served as a producer on the show since 2012. He was just promoted to Executive Producer last December. Jose Bolanos will continue as third-mic on the show. We can confirm that affiliates have already been notified of the upcoming change.
The Brooke & Jubal Show debuted on KQMV in 2011 when Fresh joined the station from iHeartMedia’s crosstown “Kiss 106.1” KBKS to join the incumbent Fox, who has been with the station since 2007. The show entered syndication in 2015 when picked up by Alpha Media’s KBFF Portland. Premiere Networks took over the distribution of the show the following year.
Since disappearing from the program, Fresh has been hosting three podcasts with his wife Alex and doing stand-up comedy shows in cities where the Brooke & Jubal Show aired.

A self-described small town girl living the big city dream, Brooke Fox has worked in morning radio for the past 17 years. She previously hosted Top 40 radio’s first all-female morning drive show in Spokane (KZZU-FM), served as music director and morning co-host in Portland (KKRZ-FM), and launched Seattle’s first all-female hosted morning show in Seattle (KQMV-FM). Most recently, she co-hosted the Marconi award-winning, national radio show, Brooke & Jubal.
Outside the radio studio, Brooke was a host on FOX TV’s Dish Nation, a nationally syndicated entertainment news program, for three seasons and is the frequent guest host of NBC KING 5’s New Day. She was voted by Evening Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Most Beautiful People in the Northwest” and was named one of the “Women To Watch” by both South Sound Magazine and 425 Magazine. She is most proud of her community work, however. She serves as a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and the Komen Foundation, receiving the Outstanding Media Partner Award in 2014.
Brooke and her amazing husband reside in Seattle with their two young children and rescue pup.
Jeffrey Dubow, also known as “Young Jeffrey”, will be continuing with Brooke on the rebranded show. As a nationally syndicated Radio Personality & Executive Producer, he has been described as the “heart and soul” of the popular show. He is best known for his parody songs (“Song of the Week”) which he performs LIVE on the show every Friday morning. He’s written and sung over 300 songs to date which have garnered millions of viral views and even coverage on CNN International News. Jeffrey has taken on a more active on-air role on Brooke & Jubal in the Morning over the past six months and early research showed listeners received this positively.
Originally from LA, radio is in Jeffrey’s blood – his mother was a producer and song writer for LA’s infamous Dr. Demento Show. Jeffrey moved to Seattle to attend The University of Washington and couldn’t resist continuing his family’s radio legacy. For 10 years, Jeffrey has brought energy and sarcasm to the Seattle airwaves, but is still anxiously awaiting a call from Capitol Records to finally sign him to a Multi-Million Dollar Record Deal.
Jose Bolanos, who has worked alongside Brooke and Jeffrey for 8 years, will continue with the show as well. He is a national touring stand-up comedian that has been featured on several TV Networks including: FOX, USA Network, NBC, and more! He is best known for the energy his infectious laughter brings to the airwaves, along with popular show segments such as “Watcha Doing at the Courthouse” and “Jose’s Drunk Movie Review”. You can always find him on the streets of Seattle, ready to capture the most hilarious moments in our community. Jose hails from Tacoma and is still mad he isn’t considered Stadium High School’s MOST Famous Alumni.
Steve Boyd is rejoining the brand after a 4-month hiatus and the team couldn’t be more thrilled. He is the Marconi Award winning executive producer who not only launched the original Brooke & Jubal in the Morning but was able to elevate it to national syndication and national recognition. Steve is an Emmy Award winning television producer who was lured over to radio 11 years ago. He is a prolific writer, fearless leader, and a work addict.
