Carl Azuz is one of the most popular TV anchors and journalist on CNN who currently works for CNN Student News. He is one of the most famous people when it comes to educating the youngsters and that’s why he also becomes a meme often.
This daily program is focused on delivering news to middle school and high school students but Carl does it in such an interesting way that his news is one of the most viewed CNN educational programs.

Career development

Before becoming an anchor for the CNN Student News he worked for CNN International and was their writer.
As soon he was hired for this job he had made several changes that made a positive impact on the program so his bosses gave him open hands for other following measures. They told him that he could do anything that would possibly raise their traffic and he did exactly that.
His work at CNN Student News gives an episode for every school day which means he works as an anchor from Monday until Friday.

He became notorious because of his great coverages on multiple topics and the fact that he can describe them neutrally: from the war in Iraq, the United States debt to various school scandals. He said that he believes all students should be able to express their opinion and learn about the opinion’s of others as well. Even if they don’t want to be involved in something, they should know a bit more about it.
His coverages were always interesting and informative so he soon gained loyal viewers. Many people thought this would be a problem since he could literally say anything and the children will listen to him, but many critics have rated his work as fantastic. He is clear, loud and non-biased.
He is known for his bright student interviews which bring the best in his interlocutors. He is proud of America’s students and always points that out to them.
Carl is also appearing in a lot of public speaking events and travels around the country because of these events. Many people like to have him as a motivational speaker as well, even though he is not famous for this. He just does a great job at any sort of speaking.

Carl Azuz also investigated how current technologies affect teenagers and students. This was a highly watched program from people of all age. His current net worth is $2 million.
Carl Azuz is often called “the King of Puns” because he regularly uses jokes and puns while reporting.
They are even collected into an e-book so anyone can see what they are about.
Students especially like his puns because they are funny. This is how Carl found a way to transfer information to the students in a not so boring way. This is one of his puns, for example: “If you leave alphabet soup on the stove it could spell disaster”.
His work is generally liked but in February 2018 someone started a petition to stop his puns on CNN. This made students very angry and they have started even a bigger petition for keeping Carl’s puns alive.
Personal life
Although he hides his personal life and doesn’t like to share information about it, it is guessed that he is married, and happily in his case. Many think that, because of the fact that he talks about all of these important political subjects, he does not want to talk a lot about his family in order to protect them. This seems pretty fair.
It seems that his wife’s name is Kenzi Ann but was never confirmed. He did post some photos of engagement rings on his Twitter but was very secretive about it.
