Moret has covered many major California criminal cases including the Night Stalker trial, Billionaire Boys Club murder trial, the O. J.

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 Los Angeles with his wife Keri and their three children.

Moret's first book is an inspirational memoir entitled The Last Day of My Life, published by Phoenix Books and launched on January 5, 2010.
