The hunt is on! With our lovely and talented former host Rebekah Platt moving on to the Mouse House at Disney, we are in need of a replacement host, and this is where YOU come in! Producers Daniel McNicoll and Michael Regina (hey, that’s me!) are on the hunt for the next host of ‘Hobbit in 5’, do you think you’ve got what it takes? We will be looking for qualified candidates and then have the fans, yes YOU again, vote on who will host the show! Because, trust me, you do NOT want to see Daniel and Michael at 720p in HD…it’s a frightening thought…
So, if you answer YES to the following questions, drop me a line at xoanon@theonering.net with the subject ‘I wanna host!’ to be entered!
DO YOU:
– Live in the Charlotte/Atlanta area?
– Feel comfortable in front of the camera?

Pieter Collier from the Tolkienlibrary.com writes: Exactly 50 years ago the artist Cor Blok created about 140 illustrations to accompany The Lord of the Rings, he visited Tolkien who liked his art and bought 3 pieces – the only artist who ever sold his art to Tolkien. In his letters Tolkien once said that if ever an illustrated The Lord of the Rings could be created it would have been Cor Blok who would receive the job. No such thing ever happened. However Cor Blok’s art was featured on the Dutch translation of The Lord of the Rings for 27 years, without even mentioning the name Cor Blok.
