The Zone is an afternoon programming block on YTV. It airs between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM (Eastern Time) in Canada.
The Zone has gone through many hosts, but the general amount is 2 hosts, and 1 leaves at a time (although not always at the same time as someone else joins, both Pat and Sugar have hosted The Zone by themselves).
Currently, the two hosts are Sugar (voice actor for Rini from Sailor Moon) and Carlos (previously a janitor for YTV).
Also adding to the current cast is Pretty Tiffany (Sugar's cousin or Sugar with a southern accent?), Titto Lemmey (who seems an awful lot like Carlos), and Gorrilla Stan (Also known as G-Stan).
The regular hosts pretending to be other people and the addition of one "real" guest host is common for The Zone; the "guest host" is sometimes just mentioned or just an inanimate object that is spoken to. Some examples would be "the toilet" (a toilet in the wall; a hand came out the hole once in a while) and "the cameraman". A plastic piece of purple bubble gum with eyes and a television screen for its mouth called "Snit" was once a "host" on The Zone alongside Phil Guerrero.
While usually following a certain theme throughout the week, there are scheduled events that usually occur during The Zone, these are:
- E-mail Mondays (Reading fan e-mails)
- Interactive Wednesdays (A poll is opened on The Zone's site on YTV.com (http://www.ytv.com/), people vote in deciding what sort of random thing should happen on the last segment of The Zone)
- Footloose Fridays (Sugar and Carlos do something involving feet {usually dancing, but not always})
Previous Zone hosts, Pat and Jenny, formed a band called Nuclear Donkey, which still exists today.
