Chris Hansen

Chris Hansen is the host of Dateline's To Catch a Predator which involves the catching of child pedophiles. He appeared in the South Park episode, "Le Petit Tourette".

History
After Eric Cartman fakes Tourette's Syndrom, he writes to Dateline's Chris Hansen to do a show about his 'illness', with the intent of simply spouting off as many hateful and politically incorrect things as he can think of. Hansen agrees to the idea, switching from catching pedophiles to talking about Tourrettes. However when Catman truly begins to lose control of what he's able to say and not say, he goes to Hansen to call off the show, and attempts to leave. Hansen stops with by simply saying his catchphrase "Have a seat", which seems to result in a low-level mind-control, forcing Cartman to do just that. Hansen then informs Cartman that he WILL do the show, by commenting on how during "To Catch a Predator", they had a pedophile who refused to do the show and then "Shot himself". Hansen says that unless Cartman does the show, he might end up "Shooting himself" like the pedophile. This results in Cartman crapping his pants in fear.

The show starts, but before Cartman can be brought out, a massive group of pedophiles (sent there by Kyle and a boy with real Tourrettes) arrive and upon seeing Hansen begin to shot themselves in the head. Hansen rushes out to find the Tourrettes Boy there, and accuses him of being the cause of the shootings. He attempts to use his "have a seat" saying on the boy, who is immune and shouts profanities back at Hansen who cries out "I'm telling" as he runs off.

He appears again as one of the many Celebrities that plots against South Park in 200 & 201
