Chris Hansen | Where Are They Now | From Infamous Show To Catching YouTubers & His Own Arrest
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Chris Hansen is a reporter whose main claim-to-fame was as the host of the NBC investigative journalist series, “Dateline” and its signature segment: “To Catch a Predator”. Back in the early 2000s, Chris would lure unsuspecting criminals with very particular and disturbing tastes into a sit-down interview where the depths of their depravity would be visible for a national audience to see first-hand. But while Chris definitely made a name for himself as someone most American’s believed they could trust – he’s had something of a roller coaster of a career over the past few years after a high-publicized affair would see him fall from grace and fired from the network he called home for decades. Of course, once you’ve got the taste for breaking stories, it can be impossible to give up – and Chris has worked hard to reinvent himself as someone all Predators still need to be wary of... especially if they happen to be on the prowl over on YouTube.
