Gregg Jarrett is an anchor for Fox News Channel. Joining the network in November 2002, he regularly substitute-anchors hours of Fox News Live and sometimes does headline updates during various times. He received a law degree from The University of California Hastings College of the Law.

Prior to Fox News, Jarrett worked at MSNBC as an anchor and correspondent. While at MSNBC, he covered stories including the September 11th Attacks, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election Controversy.

Jarrett, an attorney, also worked at Court TV for nine years, serving as an anchor of Prime Time Justice, in addition to coving many different trials on the network, and hosting the network's nationally syndicated half-hour magazine show, Inside America’s Courts.

Prior to Court TV, he had worked for a number of local stations including KCSM-TV in San Francisco, CA, WMDT-TV in Salisbury, MD, WKFT-TV in Raleigh, NC and KSNW-TV in Wichita, KS.

In 2002, while at NBC, Jarrett was "pranked" by notorious Howard Stern Show caller Thomas "Captain Janks" Cipriano. Cipriano claimed to be a police lieutenant investigating a train derailment in Kensington, Maryland. Despite Cipriano's repeated references to passengers being "tea-bagged by Howard Stern", Jarrett continued to ask the "lieutenant" for details on the derailment. [citation needed]
