Chris Hansen continued building relationships with law enforcement after the show ended and he was fired from NBC for his own controversy.
The Big Picture To Catch A Predator was a pop culture phenomenon in the early 2000s, despite the serious subject it tackled. Hosted by NBC correspondent and journalist, Chris Hansen, the show was centered around setting traps for child predators in the hopes of protecting future children from them. The show was rife with controversy, and ultimately ended due to a major controversy involving one of the alleged pedophiles committing suicide when police arrived.
Controversy During and After ‘To Catch A Predator’ To Catch A Predator was initially only meant to be a one-off special, but it did so well with audiences that NBC decided to capitalize on the hype. As the host of the series, Chris Hansen came across as both stern and dedicated to his mission. His calm demeanor and soon-to-be catchphrase, "Have a seat" became a part of the pop culture zeitgeist.
“It has become a trademark – out of all the work I’ve done, it’s maybe 10 percent of the portfolio. The awards and Emmys are for all the other work. It is, undeniably, what I have become most known for. So, you embrace it. You continue to do it and you evolve to do it the best way possible; the most socially responsible fashion so everybody gets a fair chance at justice and to continue to create this dialogue.
Not only has he continued pursuing this particular mission, but he learned from his prior mistakes. Rather than working with some shady group that had no legal training whatsoever, Hansen began forming relationships with local law enforcement in the areas he’s investigating. And because of this he has been able to actually see results from his investigations, he has seen over 400 arrests come out of his investigations.
Chris Hansen Has A Brand New Show Chris Hansen has a brand new series on the streaming service TrueBlu, Takedown With Chris Hansen. Its premise is essentially the same; he is still investigating and working with law enforcement to takedown predators. His dedication to the work speaks volumes. He doesn’t care about keeping up appearances or wanting to appear perfect. He has owned his mistakes and moved forward.
