O.J. Book and TV Show CANCELLED!
Monday, November 20, 2006
The O.J. Simpson TV interview and book, "If I Did It," have both been cancelled by Newscorp. Rupert Murdoch called it an "ill-considered project" and apologized to the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. The cancellation came after a dozen FOX affiliates said that they would not air the sweeps stunt and some bookstores pulled out of selling the book. Ron Goldman's father, Fred, and sister, Kim, appeared on "Larry King Live" tonight and praised the American public for responding to the interview. "Whatever he does to glorify his crime is not going to be well-received," Fred Goldman said.
Now the question becomes, what will happen to the footage from the TV special? While no one in their right mind would air it now, will some cable network or show buy the interview once all the dust has settled? Couldn't you just see this on "The Insider" during May sweeps next year? "It's the interview everyone was talking about. You thought it would never air. Until now. O.J Speaks. Only on The Insider."
