Fox Anticipates Huge Ratings For Upcoming Reality Special, 'When (And If) Former Heisman Trophy Winners (Were To) Attack'
Realizing that golf club memberships and real-murderer-trailing private investigator fees don't pay for themselves, free-moving sociopath O.J. Simpson has teamed with publisher Judith Regan for a book and accompanying two-part Fox reality special, tantalizingly titled, O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened.
Publisher Judith Regan has taped a wide-ranging interview with Simpson that will serve as the basis for the broadcast, set to air in two hourlong segs Nov. 27 and 29. In the interview, Fox said Simpson "describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade." [...]
Fox's O.J. special is being produced under the auspices of alternative topper Mike Darnell's department.
"This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen," Darnell said. "It's the definitive last chapter in the 'Trial of the Century.' "
Besides breaking new ground in the realm of confusingly worded, hypothetical double-murder-confession reality TV titles (shouldn't it be If I Had Done It, Here's How It Would Have Happened?), the special also hopes to shatter all ratings records by incorporating cross-promotional elements from some of Fox's other popular reality brands. It will therefore fall to American Idol's trusted three judges to truly assess just how well Simpson worked out his description of his conjectural stalking and brutal murder of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman, dawg.
