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.

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.
