“	You know one time, I was doing a show called To Catch a Predator. We almost caught this pedophile, but then he ran from us because he didn't wanna be on Dateline. So we tracked him down to his house... and you know what he did? He shot himself. It'd be a shame if you didn't wanna go on Dateline. It'd be a shame if we had to track you down and you "shot yourself".	„
	~ Hansen threatening to kill Cartman.

Christopher Edward Hansen is an American television journalist who is known for catching child predators on Dateline NBC. A fictionalized version of him appears as the main antagonist in the eighth episode of the eleventh season of the animated television series South Park, "Le Petit Tourette".

He was voiced by Trey Parker.

Overview

Cartman pretends to have Tourette Syndrome as it allows him to cuss whenever he wants without people finding it repulsive. He quickly learns to use it to his advantage, and only Kyle and a few kids actually suffering from the syndrome realize that he's faking it, which naturally offends them.

Later in the episode, Cartman is introduced to Chris Hansen. Hansen is intrigued by Cartman's supposed courage, and plans on interviewing him in front of a large audience. Even though Cartman is excited to talk hatefully about the crowd (specifically Jews) while seeming like a hero, he quickly realized that he's developing an actual sort of TS that causes him to reveal embarrassing secrets about himself.

Cartman confronts Hansen while he's preparing for his introduction and proposes that the show is cancelled. However, Hansen grows suspicious and tells him to take a seat. Despite Eric's best efforts, he sits on the chair in front of Chris. The NBC host eerily tells him that he is in fact doing the show, and when Cartman refuses, Hansen reveals his true colors and tells him about a predator that ended up supposedly committing suicide after running from Dateline. Hansen then threatens to murder Cartman, forcing him to do the show.

While Hansen prepares to do the show, Cartman prays for a miracle. Shortly after, Kyle and Thomas (a kid with Tourette's) form a plan to stop Eric from faking TS by luring a bunch of predators into the set with a promise of sex, similar to Hansen's show To Catch a Predator. Just as Hansen proudly introduces himself, the predators step in and ironically shoot themselves out of pure fear. Hansen is frustrated by this and panics when everyone starts to leave. On the way out, Hansen encounters Thomas and wants to interrogate him, but Thomas bafflingly ignores Hansen's orders and cusses at him, causing the otherwise relaxed host to snap. He trembles as he vows revenge on Thomas before running away.

Trivia

The real Chris Hansen stated that he first knew he was really famous when he saw himself on South Park.
Unlike the real Chris Hansen, this version of Chris Hansen uses the word "pedophile" to describe the predators on his show. In reality, he avoids using this word.
Chris Hansen describing a story of a man shooting himself was based on a real event that involved an assistant district attorney, Louis Conradt, committing suicide to avoid confrontation with the law.
