[Purveyor]

Palm Beach, Florida -- The tables seem to have turned on a journalist who specialized in undercover camera reports.

Chris Hansen, the host of "To Catch a Predator" was reportedly caught on a hidden camera on a date with a Florida reporter.

The Daily Mail reports the 51-year-old married anchor was recorded having a romantic dinner and then spending the night with WPTV reporter Kristyn Caddell in Palm Beach.

Hansen became famous with his controversial series on NBC's Dateline, where he helps catch people looking to have sex with minors on the Internet.

[The Magistrate]

1. Excellent, Sir: the Fellow Is a Vulture

Every bit as repellent a creep as those he makes a living off of.

[irisblue]

11. no, it is not the same

the planning to be pedophiles are of a much much higher level of creepiness/scumbaggery then an adult married man and an adult woman having/planning on having a (seeming affair)....do you really not understand the difference ? really?

[The Magistrate]

14. Without Them, Sir, He Would Be Put the Necessity Of Finding Honest Work....

As it is, he is simply a predator on human misery and psychological disturbance, or, in short, a repellent creep.

2. She isn't a minor so who cares?

[Purveyor]

3. Anthony, Anthony...is that you? lol eom

[monmouth]

4. Maybe his wife and a boss and her boss...n/t

[onenote]

5. Who filmed him and why was he a legitimate target?

Was he doing anything illegal? He was a TV journalist who was sleeping with someone other than his wife. So what? Who else among the universe of non-elected officials is a fair target for secret taping? Newspaper reporters? Lawyers? Bankers? Accountants? Athletes? Musicians? Actors?

Let's just invade everyone's privacy. What the heck.

For what its worth, I've never heard of this guy and have no idea how smarmy or not his show is. But if it wasn't aimed at exposing consenting adults in affairs, there wouldn't seem to be any hypocrisy issue

[Quantess]

17. I agree.

[Webster Green]

6. I guess it's his wife who will be saying "take a seat, Chris". n/t

[formercia]

7. What's wrong with this picture?

"Miss Caddell, who was once an intern with NBC in New York, introduced herself to Hansen in the VIP area, and 'there was an immediate physical attraction between them', according to the source.

The source alleged: 'Chris and Kristyn got on so well that she ended up going back to his room at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach - and later boasted to pals about staying the night with him.'"

8. I don't know what it means, but his mistress resembles his wife

Clearly he favors a certain type.

My only moral comment in this matter is that karma's a bitch, Chris.

[MineralMan]

9. And why should I care about this guy philandering?

Was he messing with a kid? No? Then it's none of my fucking business.

[democratinnashville]

21. I agree.

This is between him and his wife.

[JournalistKev87]

10. Isn't the Daily Mail the one who's in trouble for doing all of the blackmailing

and wiretapping? Or is that News of the World? Funny how they are reporting on an American news anchor and trying to make it sound like him being a hypocrite. Apples and oranges.

Still, his wife should kick him in the balls.

[ElboRuum]

12. And I care about this... why?

Damn, I'm so confused today. This must clearly be news, and yet I can't see why.

[Purveyor]

15. Because you "clicked on the link"...perhaps? eom

[ElboRuum]

19. Thought there'd be something more to it... but alas...

[RoryK]

16. This isn't news.

Who taped this?

[chrisa]

18. "I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC, and this is a... No wait..."

Honestly, though, who cares? People have affairs all of the time. This is between him and his wife.

[RoryK]

20. Precisely

Who filmed this liason? Who?

[XanaDUer]

22. She's of legal age
