Fox to take on Idol's return by finally airing O.J. Simpson's infamous "If I Did It" interview

The Hollywood Reporter

American Idol's old network will take on its new network ABC on Sunday, March 11 by airing Simpson's "If I Did It" interview that proved too controversial for 2006. O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession? will air with limited interruption, featuring book publisher Judith Regan's "no-holds-barred" 2006 discussion with Simpson as he described what he would've done on the night of June 12, 1994 had he, hypothetically, killed ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Soledad O'Brien will host the special, and will be joined by a panel of experts. Fox says the special has the blessing of the Goldman and Brown families.
