Primetime Mines Comedy from the Sordid Series To Catch a Predator - The Stranger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tall, blandly handsome Chris Hansen began as a TV reporter like any other. He cut his teeth on regional stories before hitting the big time when he joined NBC News as a correspondent before becoming a regular contributor to Dateline NBC. So far, so good, but run-of-the-mill reporters don’t find themselves the focus of high-profile feature films, like Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime. No, Hansen was something else.
