His career as an anchor began on local radio stations in the early 1990s.

Following his radio career, Jarrett began working as an anchor on Court TV (today’s TruTV), the position he would hold for eight years. In addition to being the anchor of “Prime Time Justice”, he served as host of “Inside America’s Courts”, the network’s syndicated magazine show. He also wrote his weekly legal column which was distributed to 350 newspapers across the country. All contributed to his popularity, and to his net worth as well.

He has also covered several presidential elections. Jarrett’s involvement in FCN has made him a famous figure nationally, significantly adding to his wealth.
