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.
GUILTY was the verdict in the civil suit brought by the families.
Sickening .... no way I would watch this man.
IF I did it?????
IF???
Whatever OJ, you are a pathetic old murderer and even your most loyal fans know it. They just don't give a rat's rear end.....
the brazen braggart
water always seeks its own level
hopefully , one day he will hear the three lies...(David A Coe).....
Is it too late for a Federal Case - Civil Liberties and all that?
They found the real killer- shot and killed by a bullet- apparently O.J committed suicide- Perhaps there'll be another show next year by Ron Goldman's family called "If we did it- the life and death of the Juice" - just sayin'
That`s true, he can only live off of his football pension as they can`t touch that, everything else though goes to the Goldmans and Nicoles family. I don`t know why he is writing this book, I guess he can`t take being out of the limelight.
This is obviously in very poor taste, no question there.
However, I hand it to Regan for finding a way to get him to confess to his crimes, even under the veil of a big "if."
This is like getting into an inmate's cell, cosying up all buddy-buddy, and getting him to confess to the whole crime by telling him to give you a "hypothetical" account, "wink wink, nudge nudge."
What really offends me is the grammar. It shouldn't read, "If I did it," but, "Had I done it, here's how it would have happened."
Another reason not to watch Fox News.
He's found ways to make money, laundering $$ from autographs, etc. through friends or business partners...I seem to recall from Tabloid headlines, anyhow....and lets not even mention his possible involvement to some degree or other in the SoFLA drug trade...
I would make sure OJ was at room temperature.
Judith Reagan (sp), is a good looking woman. She used to have a late night interview show on FOX. That was long before we found out she was mistress of Bernie Kerik.

But through out, she's snagged good book deals...edgy, I'd say.
Ditto for the jury that acquitted him.
This is beneath contempt. Giving that foul murderer such a platform is disgusting.
Will this make the worst sellers list?
Hello, this is Johnny. It's pretty hot down here where I'm at, and that's why you see me with out my usual natty jacket and tie. I have a new job as advocate for a VIP. I don't much like him, but he is a person of color: "Crimson". He also has a forked tail, horns, and speaks with a forked tongue most of the time. Anyway, just wanted to warn all of you that we're not only waiting for O.J., we're waiting also for those who cheered his ability to escape the justice that the man upstairs established.
