Before joining Inside Edition, Moret was probably best known for anchoring CNN's coverage of the O. J.

After leaving CNN, Moret hosted a series of specials for ABC, and, for three years, co-hosted the Academy Awards pre-show for the network. He has also been a guest anchor on the KTLA Morning News in Los Angeles, and on Fox 5's Good Day New York. His first on-air reporting position was at KABC-TV in Los Angeles.
In 2004, Moret delivered the Commencement Address for the UCLA Department of Communication Studies, after which he was invited to serve as a visiting professor. He is also a graduate of the program. Moret is a member of the California Bar and resides in Beverly Hills with his wife Keri Stone Moret and their three children.
