Sad DILF mugshot.

Loser

"Why don't you take a seat over here"

He's the host of "Crime Watch Daily" a daily national show, how does he not have the cash for this?

Plus, he sold the boat.

And, he let this go on for a long time.

Cue Nelson Muntz.

[quote] He's the host of "Crime Watch Daily" a daily national show, how does he not have the cash for this?

That show got cancelled last Spring. But, yes, you'd think he had more than enough cash to cover a $12,000 bill.

Do we know if Mr. Chris Hansen escorts? I'd pay extra for the "Take A Seat Experience"

Appropriate that he made a career of covering crime.

He was a real blonde stud in Detroit TV in the late '80s but that was a long time ago

Womp Womp, indeed.

He did not age well at all. As a matter of fact, I always wondered if he had drug, alcohol or depression issues because he just looked really unwell/unhealthy on that Crime Watch Daily program. Shockingly so. Overweight and miserable. Something was going on there. Yeah, everbody ages but he just did not look healthy. I am actually very sad and sorry to hear this about him. Whatever went down, you have to work pretty hard to get arrested for passing bad checks in 2019. I mean, he couldn't have done SOMETHING to avoid that seller turning him over to the cops?

At least he lost the weight.

Hated hated HATED "To Catch a Predator" because it made me sympathize with and pity child molesters.

Hansen was the embodiment of smug and self-righteous on that show.

Is Chris a homosexual?

R18 my thought too.

"To Catch a Deadbeat"

[quote]Is Chris a homosexual?

Well, considering he had an affair with a much younger woman while he was married, my answer is no. BTW, the younger woman looked like a younger version of his wife.

Where I live, you don't get charged with writing bad checks unless (a) the check bounces; (b) you don't make good on it in a brief period; (c) it can be proven you wrote the check knowing you didn't have the $$ to cover it.

After reading the article, I see that is pretty much what happened.

He was always such a sanctimonious ass on "Predator" and as mentioned above -- that is not the kind of show where you should be rooting for the perps. He was just so smug and unlikable. Could not have happened to a more deserving fellow.

Why did he get shitcanned from NBC and Dateline? I can't remember the details.

Yes, he was very cute when he was younger. Has not aged well.

Matt Lauer thought he made the network look bad so he had to go

Why are people so happy to see his downfall?

He was scum.

This whole concept of Crime WATCH!!! and CATCH A PREDATOR!! is gotcha porn. Not journalism. They also make everyone more fearful, CRIME EVERYWHERE!! PREDATORS IN EVERY BUSH!!!!

Programs like Crime Watch shouldn't exist period, and Dateline should be doing 60 Minutes style long-form journalism but NBC doesn't give a shit a about stuff like that.

I MADE SOME ICED TEA!

He's taking a seat at a court of law.

R28 You don't think his show was legitimate journalism. Very fair critique imho.

But how does that lead to celebrating his arrest?

That’s a lot of money for a bunch of crappy promo items

R31: I'm not. I'm critiquing his career and the shows he chose to foist on the American public.

R31 Hypocrisy, that's why.

I found his odd, affected accent grating on the nerves

Well I never in all my life!

He needs to sell his boat to get $13,000? What does he spend all his money on that he lives hand to mouth like that?

Talk about karma.

What was he promoting on the mugs and T-shirts if his show was canceled?

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fellow.

R36: Well you should, it's really fun!

The story of his spending $12,000 on "promotional materials" when he's financially busted is fishy. If he's broke, why would he spend what money he has left that way?

This doesn't add up.

Some people don't save, some people save to excess -- I'll bet he's cash poor because all his money is in places like mutual funds.

Oh, the irony. I hope they busted him under the guise of having a pizza delivered.

There's a 30 year age difference between the pic in R30 and OP, right?

Is it normal to file charges after one bad check, or is it because the amount was north of $10k?

He’s hot as fuck in that young pic at R30. But I agree, such a smug personality.

It is the amount R46. No one writes a check for $13K without knowing if the money is in the bank. The fact that he offered to pay it in installments later confirms that he knew at the time it was no good. It's fraud.

It isn't like he wrote a check for $50 over his balance hoping he could float it until payday.

At least he is a national figure, therefore he warrants my attention for petty crime like this.

Chris Burrous is only local so that's why I'm absolutely not covering his suspicious death.

Back to the important questions: What's his net worth? And why did he hit a wall so damn hard? Does anyone have a picture of his dick?

He will be the next TV "journalist" found dead mid-day in a Daze Inn.

He needs to move out of Fairfield County, it's expensive AF.

Maybe he finally met the Nigerian prince who knew how to scam him

He was so fuckable years ago, I would've let him bust in my mouth and taken every drop down my hungry, hungry throat.

13000 dollars for 355 mugs and 250+ T-shirts? ??? Isn't that a little expensive for promo crap? Fishy.

I wondered the same thing R56, but a bounced check is a bounced check.

Going off what Youtubers sell their crap for, I would imagine that t-shirts and mugs cost (to the seller) $4-$5 each at the most. $13K is a lot for what they listed.

I remember him from his Detroit years and, yes, he was so hot. 6'2", lean. I would see him in person on occasion and he was enchanted by his appearance. Was surprised to see him get so heavy.

**I was enchanted**

I thought this was a joke, what a bizarre story.

Obviously they were custom items that had a small run...

How To Catch A Predator Catcher

I feel there is a little more to his arrest... I expect blind items, etc.

Well, that is pathetic.

He has tinymeat face.

That pert nose is a bad sign.

What kind of promo mugs was he buying? That seems odd.

I Brake for Business!

He had condoms and lube in his pocket when he was arrested...

Rubbers are FORBIDDEN in our house!

That's weird. Why was he paying for that stuff? Sounds like some kind of scam.

His Net Worth and Salary: One of the veteran American journalists, Chris has a net worth of $2.5 million dollars and over $500 thousand USD as an annual salary. Chris is known as the most renewable reporter and journalist, and his profession and his experiences help to him as the richest media personality.Nov 28, 2016.

Just googled his pictures and his physical deterioration is remarkable. He's only 59 but looks a decade older in his mugshot.

His face steadily bloats as the years wear on. I'm guessing he's a serious alcoholic.

I couldn't stand watching that fucking entrapment show of his. I know those dudes were pervs but I found the show overly cruel and sometimes unfair. I was waiting for the day Chris Hansen was busted for touching and underage girl. This is gonna have to do I guess. Aretha Franklin didn't like to pay her bills either. I don't understand these rich cheapskates.

Cruel and unfair is why the tides turned and the show got canceled. I think it was an episode done in the Dallas suburbs that ended it all.

Heh

Best Year Ever

A History

You can write as many 'Bad Checks' (Cheques) as you like here in the UK and never get arrested, they just become a civil matter and the payee has to take private legal action.

He’s such a smug ass!

WTF happened to his money?

One of the girls on TMZ called it "To Catch A Creditor". Clever.

[quote]He needs to move out of Fairfield County, it's expensive AF.

Damn right.

Probably spending too much time at Foxwoods

What if his cellmate is someone he busted on his show?

Now he’s lost his home

Ok, so he’s bankrupt...happens to anyone. I like him and loved his show. It was a great public service and had a watching-a-car-wreck kind of watchability. He’ll land on his feet again.

The promo items were gifts for donors to his GO Fund Me Page that is suppose to pay for a reboot of To Catch a PREDitor

According to Daily Mail, Hansen owes approximately 1.5 million (including mortgage he's behind on and credit cards and taxes). He's also in divorce and has been evicted from his NYC apartment. His show (TCAP) has been off air for 10 years now and only ran for 3 years. It was popular but got canceled when a Texas DA committed suicide after the show set him up and he exchanged photos with someone he thought was a 13 year old boy. The promo items Hansen bought with the bad check went all the way back to 2017 and it sounds like he kept delaying payment and may have written more than one bounced check to cover the debt.

To Catch a Predator was brilliant! So uncomfortable to watch but so fucking compelling.

Not really, R91. It was trashy television for trashy people. You were probably too doped up on Vicodin to stay awake for Springer earlier in the day.

[quote]r89 The promo items were gifts for donors to his Go Fund Me Page that is suppose to pay for a reboot of To Catch a PREDitor

OMG .... can people STOP with the beggar's bowl GO FUND ME pleas ! ! !

That's way more embarrasing than bankruptcy.

Bounced checks, the very trashiest of crimes.

Maybe journalists -- even popular hosts like Hansen or beloved local anchors like Chris Burrous, aren't the moneybags we thought.

[quote]OMG .... can people STOP with the beggar's bowl GO FUND ME pleas ! ! !

And right when I was just getting ready to set one up!

Maybe the true definition of wealth is: "Can financially recover from addiction shenanigans."

Journalists are not paid well, not sure where you get that idea, R95

What’s next? Will he trip and fall into a sinkhole?

Quicksand

Wonder if he'll be able to make a comeback now that he actually has some publicity?

Update (from TMZ):

I’m glad he’s not going to jail. I like him, he seems nice.

Time has not been kind to him.

He was such a nice-looking guy when he was younger. It must be booze.
