Chris Hansen Celebrates His 61st Birthday

There are a few lines in popular culture that are so famous and synonymous with the people saying them that they will be burned into our collective memory forever — like Donald Trump's "You're fired" or Paris Hilton's "That's hot," they're just iconic.

Perhaps none is more iconic than Chris Hansen's infamous "Why don't you have a seat over here?"

Chris Hansen is best known for his work on *To Catch A Predator.*

Chris is a television journalist who worked with Dateline NBC to help catch potential Internet child predators using sting operations. He also currently hosts Killer Instinct and Crime Watch Daily as well as hosting a podcast on his YouTube channel.
