Hansen's online ****** predator investigations spawned a number of Internet video parodies of To Catch a Predator. Capitalizing on the success of Hansen and his Predator investigations, Dateline NBC created three Tuesday night spin-offs of its original concept, the first two of which featured Hansen as the reporter. The shows reported on by Hansen were called To Catch a Con Man and To Catch an I.D. Thief, and both had title cards similar in design to that which has been used in the most recent Predator investigations and on Hansen's new book. Continuing the momentum that sparked To Catch a Predator, Hansen and Dateline widely promoted the spin-offs as featuring "a different kind of predator".
