Merritt Wever's film 'Primetime,' about Chris Hansen and 'To Catch a Predator,' was announced in a Daily Show interview on September 27, 2026. Wever plays a producer and says she prepared by speaking with two longtime TV news producers. Reporting has since established that Hansen was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement related to the film. Hansen says the film's Jeff Zucker scenes never happened, calls the NDA not standard, and graded the film a D, while Oppenheim says Hansen urged people to see it and decide for themselves. The discussion turns on whether the show and its audience were complicit in predatory behavior.
