He also finally weighs in on some of the most pressing topics for A Date with Dateline friends. Such as: Is a hot dog a sandwich or what? How do you say “caramel” officially?

The Night Time Stopped S.32 Ep.34

Andrea Canning is again proving herself do be one of Dateline's bravest correspondents. We have seen her perilously hung off the side of a mountain, draping a giant python around her shoulders, but now in THE PERFECT LIFE, she has suffered through yet another dramatic interview with Remy Ramsaran. You might remember Remy from back in 2018’s episode Secret Lives, as the overly enthusiastic marathon runner who was proudly having a secret affair with his wife’s best friend. The new 2024 version of Remy is a screaming, rabid, sweaty Mr. Corporate America who thinks doing time is HILARIOUS. Or so he claims. This is one of the most memorable cases Kimberly and Katie have ever covered and not even they were prepared for this new bats in the belfry update episode.  We all owe you a debt of gratitude for your service, Ms. Canning. 
Original Description from NBCU: A mystery looms over a small New York town when a woman is murdered and a stunning secret is exposed; more than a decade later, new developments lead to an unexpected conclusion. Andrea Canning reports.
