Casablanca’s early career included roles at Esquire and Rolling Stone, where he worked in research and editorial positions. These roles shaped the writing of "The Awful Truth". This column not only attracted a loyal readership but also paved the way for future celebrity bloggers and gossip websites. Casablanca began writing for Premiere magazine in 1987, where he originally conceived his gossip column "The Awful Truth" before transferring it to E! in 1996 as a weekly (later daily) column. He regularly presented it on E! Television and sometimes appeared as a correspondent and commentator for various E! Television events. Casablanca earned notoriety for delving into the personal lives and relationships of celebrities in "The Awful Truth"; Casablanca often attributed pseudonyms to the subjects of his pieces, and garnered attention with his satirical speculation on the secret sexuality of particular celebrities. As Bruce Bibby, he has written for a number of entertainment magazines and has been a contributor to the television magazine Hard Copy. Casablanca was also the gallery owner of Ted Casablanca Gallery in Palm Springs, California.
