Current Version
Currently, the host of The Zone is Carlos Bustamante. During various occasions, Andy Chapman, who also hosts sister block Crunch, will replace or join Carlos.
The program usually features the hosts and the addition of one "real" guest host. The "guest host" is sometimes just an inanimate or personified object that is spoken to by Nayan Patel. Some examples would be "the Hand in the Toilet" (the toilet was embedded in the wall; a hand came out the hole once in a while) and "the camera-man." Also a seen but never heard voice, Egghead (the director). In its early history, the Zone had featured a group of puppets known as Grogs as the co-hosts. A large television with a frame resembling a piece of purple bubble gum with eyes and other mechanical miscellany called Snit (Atul N. Rao) was once a "host" on The Zone; after him came Elvayz, a talking bust of Elvis Presley, although this character has been removed as well. Occasionally, real-life guest hosts would appear on The Zone, such as children's author Robert Munsch and environmentalist David Suzuki.
While usually following a certain theme throughout the week, there are scheduled events that have occurred during The Zone, such as:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Music Mondays | Carlos interviews musicians and sometimes performs some tunes of his own. Recent interviews have included Canadian songstress Kreesha Turner and British bands The Wanted and One Direction. |
| Quirky But True News Tuesdays | Carlos brings up some funny and bizarre stories from the Internet, as well as weird stories from viewers and tells them on the air in a news style format |
| Game Drop Wednesdays | A new game will be released on The Zone's website on YTV.com, every Wednesday. Carlos also shows fan art sent in by viewers |
| Throwdown Thursdays | Carlos tries to perform challenges sent in by viewers online |
