Evan Stone to Take Over XRCO Hall of Fame Segment

HOLLYWOOD—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has enlisted industry icon Evan Stone as the new emcee for the Hall of Fame induction portion of the XRCO Awards Show. An XRCO and AVN Hall of Fame member himself, Stone has garnered over a dozen XRCO nominations during his career and won Best Actor in 2008 and 2010. He was also crowned XRCO Male Performer of the Year in 2007 and 2009. He assumes the duty of presiding over the Hall of Fame segment from fellow Hall of Famer and industry historian William Margold. "We are very pleased to add Evan to the show in such an important role," XRCO chairman Dirty Bob said. "The Hall of Fame is a very important part of the XRCO and we needed the right person to take over this vital task. Evan is already a Hall of Famer and is still one of the biggest names in the business. He skillfully bridges the gap between the stars of yesteryear and the future of the industry. Evan is the perfect choice to be the gatekeeper to the most hallowed circle of the XRCO." Commented Stone, "It is a great honor to be taking over this position at this year's XRCO Awards Show. For over 30 years, this event has recognized the very best our industry has to offer. To be part of an event that is the culmination of years of hard work for people I admire and have worked with is really cool." Comprising the first Hall of Fame class whose induction Stone will oversee are performers Hillary Scott, Briana Banks and Constance Money, directors Joanna Angel and Mason, critic Don Houston, writer Raven Touchstone, internet pioneer Jeff Zanzetti of IAFD.com and studio founders Steve Hirsch and Steve Orenstein. The 2016 XRCO Awards Show takes place this Wednesday, June 22, at OHM nightclub in Hollywood. Attendance is restricted to adult industry members only. Admission is free, but attendees must RSVP here.
