LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox said Tuesday it will air a two-part interview with O.J. Simpson at month's end in which he describes the 1994 murders of his ex-wife and her friend that he says he didn't commit.

The interview will be conducted by editor and book publisher Judith Regan. On November 30, her Regan Books is publishing a book Simpson wrote with the working title "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."

Fox said Simpson's book "hypothetically describes" how he would have committed the murders. The special will air at 9 p.m. November 27 and 29 on Fox.

Fox executives declined comment about the show Tuesday. In a statement released Tuesday, executive vice-president/alternative programming Mike Darnell said: "This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. It's the definitive last chapter in the trial of the century."

Fox is a subsidiary of News Corp., which also owns Regan Books.

A spokeswoman for Regan Books didn't return a phone call or an e-mail seeking comment Tuesday.

Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman; he can't be tried again for those crimes. In 1997, a civil court found him responsible for the slayings and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the victims' families.

Good ole' November sweeps. Same old routine.

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL... That was funny though!

[weegee]

Fox News isn't conservative. Being to the right of CNN proves nothing. CNN is to the right of NPR.

[Txsleuth]

Oh, he's a real hoot...until he drops a sure touchdown..

I hope he doesn't fall asleep in meetings againt this week...I would like him to know the game plan...LOL

[BigSkyFreeper]

Fox News isn't conservative.

I've never claimed on FR day in and day out that they were.

[Brad from Tennessee]

I would think lawyers for the families of Goldman and Nicole can a attach any money O.J. receives from this circus. But I think FOX may get enough negative e-mails and phone calls to cancel this thing.

[Kozak]

I hope Goldmans old man and Nicoles sister show up and demand the check for the interview.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I laugh at some of his moves. He had a real funny one on Sunday where he high stepped while jogging around in the end zone. LOL

Yeah, he better be alert at the meetings! I'd like to see the 'Boys dish out the Colts first loss of the season.

[Yossarian]

I see this is airing between Thanksgiving and New Years - I wonder if Fox counts this as part of their Holiday programming?

Ah, I can see it now: "An OJ Simpson Family Christmas!", airing every year right after Charlie Brown..... </sickening sarcasm>

Conan O'Brien should sue...

It's FOX TV, home of 24, House, American Idol, etc *not* Fox News.

[Txsleuth]

That would sure cheer me up from last Tuesday...it already has...just thinking about TO's antics...

Thanks for bringing up the Cowboys...

(although there was a time..back when Aikman, Irvin, and Smith were on the team...that I had NO sense of humor about them..I would be just as upset about them losing a game...as I was about the GOP losing last week...lol)

[Scotswife]

The strongest argument yet for revisiting the rule concerning double jeapordy.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It was good to see Emmitt at the game in Arizona though. :)

I always enjoyed him on the field. I haven't had fun watching a Cowboys game in a long time. I knew T.O. was a good acquisition, despite his past.

[La Enchiladita]

Judge Ito did his part too.

[blondee123]

CNN or MSNBC would never stoop this low.

CNN already did when they showed terrorists in Iraq shooting our soldiers! I'm sure MSNBC has too, but I don't watch that one either.

They're all Leftists organizations now, even Fox, which I quit watching some months ago.

[blondee123]

The fact that this is even being considered speaks volumes about where we are headed in this culture.

We've come full circle now that the commie rats are in power. Our tv fare will include: more curse words, more sex, more gay relationships and probably live abortions on tv. There are NO more morals left in this country, it's gone to hell!

[La Enchiladita]

The interview will be conducted by editor and book publisher Judith Regan. On November 30, her Regan Books is publishing a book Simpson wrote with the working title "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."

Would this be Judith Regan, Bernard Kerik's mistress? So, it's really all about Judith selling her book... sleaze upon sleaze upon sleaze. And boyfriend Bernie nearly became our Homeland Security chief....

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Add to your Jim Rome list Mike

ORENTHAL's BACK

Hey guys come on OJ is not gulity why DUH we all know Bills choke they dont' slash

[Txsleuth]

I remember when I first started watching Fox News Channel...that Judith Regan had shows on on the weekends...and I never could figure out why.

Thankfully, they were gone soon after that.
