If The Glove Don’t Fit You Must…Appear on Fox

Just when you thought he’d gone away for good, he’s back. O.J. Simpson is set to leap out of the shadows and appear on the Fox network for two nights on November 27 and 29 in an interview-based sweeps event titled, ‘O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened.’

Fox says Simpson "describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade." You mean, you’ll describe how the “real killer” who is still at large did it, right O.J.? Nevermind.

Show producer Mike Darnell says, "This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen…It's the definitive last chapter in the 'Trial of the Century'." Last chapter? Oh let it be so, please.

In that famous (or infamous) trial, Simpson, who was once considered for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role as the unstoppable killing machine in 1984’s The Terminator, was ultimately acquitted in 1995 of killing his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman at his California home on June 12, 1994. In 1997, he was found liable in a civil trial for the wrongful death of Goldman, and battery for his murdered ex-wife.

However, O.J.’s upcoming stab into the limelight comes with a purpose other than reanimating Fox’s tepid fall ratings: the promotion of his book ‘If I Did It,” which is published by Harper Collins, a subsidiary of Fox parent News Corp, and hits bookshelves on November 30. Variety.com reports that publisher Judith Regan will interview Simpson for the two-hour long TV segment.
