‘Quiet On Set’: Chris Hansen Says He Heard Nickelodeon Abuse Rumors Years Ago

Chris Hansen, who hosted To Catch a Predator from 2004 to 2007, said he’d heard whispers years ago about the alleged exploitation and child sexual abuse happening behind the scenes at Nickelodeon. Hansen’s comments come amid the Investigation Discovery docuseries Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which documents children’s television shows from the late 1990s and early 2000s, with former child stars speaking out about their alleged experiences of abuse, sexism, and racism. In the doc, former child actors have made claims of sexual abuse against assistant Jason Handy, dialogue coach Brian Peck, and studio freelancer Ezel Channel, as well as abusive, toxic, and misogynistic behavior of producer Dan Schneider. Speaking to Newsweek, Hansen recalled a 2006 episode of To Catch a Predator, the series which followed adult men arriving at a sting house to have sex with a minor and typically being arrested as a result.
