After several years of working in production and writing, Carl took over as anchor of CNN Student News in 2008.[3] Azuz would spend 15 years as the anchor of CNN Student News/CNN 10, and the sole writer of the program from 2014-2022. Azuz left CNN in 2022, following the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year. His final episode of CNN 10 was May 27, 2022.[4] The fall 2022 season did not begin until September 11, and when Azuz was not the anchor, social media rumors swirled[5].

[6] On September 19, Azuz announced on TikTok that "he would no longer be a part of the show where you and I met."[7] On November 8, 2022, Azuz announced that his new role as an ambassador for Mediawise, a division of the Poynter Insitute devoted to teenage media literacy[8].
Starting in August 2023, Azuz began producing a new newscast entitled "The World from A to Z", a nod to his surname and a previous CNN Student News blog, entitled "From A to Z with Carl Azuz"[9]. The World From A to Z is owned by World News Group , a Christian journalism organization based in North Carolina[10]. The roughly nine minute show releases episodes Monday through Friday during the American school-year. The show aims to be non-biased and non-partisan, while incorporating Azuz's signature puns and light-hearted approach[11]. One of Azuz's trademarks is incorporating the phrase, "Fridays are awesome," into the last show of the week, this has continued from program on CNN into his current broadcast.[12]

In high school, he participated in drama productions.[14] Azuz graduated from the University of Georgia, majoring in telecommunications arts production and minoring in drama[15].[16] He resides in the Atlanta metro area with his family.[17]
