Hoff DeCarlo made her name serving as a CNN news anchor from 1992 to 1999.
After the split from CNN, Hoff DeCarlo continued to work in the news industry from 1999 to 2017, albeit on a more local level, until she unceremoniously left the industry.
The reason for that infamous departure from the news industry? An n-word controversy.
