LOS ANGELES - In a scene from his new candid-camera program "Juiced," O.J. Simpson pulls a prank involving the infamous white Bronco, drawing criticism from the family of a man he was accused of killing.
As part of the pay-per-view show, Simpson pretends to sell the Bronco at a used car lot and boasts to a prospective buyer that he made the vehicle famous, according to a segment aired Thursday on "Inside Edition."
"It was good for me - it helped me get away," Simpson said, referring to the slow-speed, televised police chase that preceded his 1994 arrest on charges of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
Goldman's father, Fred, told "Inside Edition" he found Simpson's comment "morally reprehensible."
Simpson was acquitted of murder. A civil jury later held him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the Brown and Goldman families.
Much of that judgment remains unpaid.
"Any money that he makes, I hope, will go to satisfy the multimillion dollar judgment made against him in the civil case," said Brown family attorney Gloria Allred.
The hour-long program is airing on pay-per-view this month, and a DVD offering uncensored material will be made available soon, "Juiced" executive producer Rick Mahr told The Associated Press.
Other practical jokes include Simpson disguised as an Elvis impersonator, a vagabond selling oranges for money and an elderly man leading a Bingo game.
Simpson was not paid for the program, Mahr said.
"Basically O.J. Simpson has decided to do this because he wants to do it, and he wanted to have fun with it," Mahr said.
ROTFLMAO!
After every prank does he shout "You just got Juiced!"?
I wonder how many PI's are working for him trying to find the real killer? What a dirt bag.
I wonder why no one has yet tried to get their 15 minutes by claiming to be "the real killer." The way this media-saturated society goes, you'd think that would have happened by now.
no good can come of this comment
Good point. I'm surprized Greta, Rita or Geraldo hasn't come up with them. It'd be good for at least a years worth of shows.
"They" can't stand being out of the spotlight.
That is BS that he wasn't paid. Any AFTRA or SAG member has to be paid.
I look forward to OJ's R.Bud Dwyer moment.
What happened to shame?
sounds like something his golfing buddy clinton would do!
O.J. the bloody knife double-murderer...O.J. the comic actor...it's all the same to Hollywood if there's a buck to be sucked up.
Gosh, if he pulled a prank on me I get to stab him and claim I had no idea. Where do I sign up?
One of the unfortunate possible side effects of letting someone "get away with murder".
Was he still looking for the real killer among the multitudes there?

Yes, I think he does.
