I mean just like the police don't tell me how to do the interviews, you know, we don't tell them how to do their business.

Every time I thought I've seen every possible scenario, something else comes up. You just have to be prepared at every level.

Dahvie Vanity is on our radar here at 'Have a Seat with Chris Hansen' and I promise you I'll take a really good, hard look at it.

You have to be careful not to go overboard. How do you balance what is clearly great television with good journalism?

When we did the first 'To Catch a Predator' investigation, law enforcement wasn't involved at all. Until after the story aired.

There was only one investigation where some of the cases were not prosecuted. And that resulted from a disagreement between a police department and a prosecutor's office. The reality is some of the people who were in the investigation were arrested in similar stings later.

When we began, we used chatrooms on AOL and Yahoo! and nowadays, we have dozens and dozens of ways to communicate. Technology has improved - for everything from the cameras to the microphones. It's a whole 'nother playing field now.

I owe my whole career to Howard Lancour.

You gotta do interviews every day, and they don't end well for some people, but I've never had one end where I don't shake hands at the end of the deal, including with the predators.
