No more catching predators for Chris Hansen.

Coincidently, the announcement comes just weeks after photos surfaced of Hansen, a married father-of-two, smooching his ex-mistress Kristyn Caddell.

“Chris has been a valued member of the team and we thank him for his many contributions to Dateline and NBC News over the last 20 years,” NBC told TV Guide Magazine. “We wish him the very best.”

NBC used Hansen to question Republican presidential candidates during a televised debate some years ago....

At least a catch phrase...”Why don’t you have a tweet over here...”

A lot of the cases were thrown out as entrapment from what I heard. Some times you could almost feel sorry for them. Still, there’s some part of me that enjoyed seeing the blood drain from the faces of pedophiles upon seeing Chris Hanson make a surprise appearance.

If he covered “Man’s Country” club in Obama’s Chicago and reported on that homosexual scandal, he would have had ratings.

He probably engaged in some detestable practice....maybe he was caught reading the Bible, attending a Bible-believing house of worship, or refusing to sign a “congratulations” card for two homosexuals’ union.
