Kato Kaelin Opens Up About The O.J. Case's Lasting Impact

Same guy, it's the other people who think new people still recognize you, yeah, from Kaelin to the Kardashians. Kato on the family's rise to stardom and his relationship with them today stay with us, we are back with Kato Kaelin, this is 20 years. The hunter's relief from 20 years ago was that famous car chase that I was on the air for three and a half hours narrating from Washington DC one of the strangest nights of my professional life one of the strangest

impact

s of that trial is the emergence of the Kardashian the late Robert Kardashian was an old friend of OJ I had dinner with him we had a long meeting in a hotel room where he was I'm going to book OJ to come on our show when the trial is, although Jay called my show the night after the judgment.

What was your relationship with the Kardashians? I think you said you played with them when they were babies. Nicole was a friend of Chris and they often had cookouts and also played volleyball at the Kardashian house. He wasn't a dating guy. She knew them, but there were little kids at the time, so it wasn't a what do you think of them? fame I'm impressed that they are a dynasty there, it's amazing how the trial made them because the Kardashians became famous from that trial and of course Kim did some other things, but I think it's great that they are successful.

I like them, yes I love them, I don't watch the show, but I think it's great that they have a career. Where were you when the verdict was announced? The verdict was announced. I was next. I think someone who's probably been friends with Barbara for years. Walters and we were in the Century Plaza hotel room and I was sitting there watching the verdict when Bob Kardashian put his hands on OJ's shoulder. What do you think you know, Barb Kardashian? When you look back, it seemed like he was surprised. Yes, he looked like he was surprised and couldn't believe it and I think it's one of those images that says a thousand words, that image tells us about 10,000 words, it was like it wasn't going to touch some world card, I think it's pop , was Kardashian's expression, although she pushed it aside and looked up and it was like once again, you can only have an opinion, but it looked like disbelief, right?

I'm sorry, what was your feeling? Well, I thought they made a mistake. I couldn't believe that, well, the trial may have ruined careers, there are a number of people who exploit other people. Mark Fuhrman became a famous writer. Marcia Clark. Oh, what do you say about that trial? Do you offer that much? John, has already passed away. Yeah, well, I think the trials. Here, oh, my feelings have been that crime pays. I think you say it generates so many different things that Court TV CNBC generates and you tell me how many lawyers had their own television shows.

Oh, you were on CNN, there is burden of proof at that time, yes, Greta Van. Susteren got a show and then they all branched out, they all got TV shows and it's amazing, you have to think about it, it's like a billion dollar industry. You're currently hosting two shows with Kato, a movie about a movie about Kato Kaelin's gifts, right? So you understand this went well for you, yes, but there were negatives, but a lot of positives. You wouldn't be here without him. I went to Wisconsin. Oh, Clara had a TV show back then in my college days called Kato and Friends.

I did a radio show there, yes, and I don't defend myself, but this is the race. I have never, ever, deviated from what I want to do in my life. I think I've had my secondary card for over thirty years. Screen Actors Guild card. I think all these new lawyers. I got her card because they appear on TV shows and that's not what the Kato potato is, the Kato potato, the radish, sure, uh, I know she wasn't on Forbes five thousand, she's the number one supplier and Home Shopping Network and said I can. I started a men's line so at a party she asked me do you have an idea and I said Brenda, you might think this is a joke, but people have called me lazy and it's very hard work being lazy.

I told him why don't we have a line of pants called Kato, a couch potato who doesn't like to be a couch potato on the weekends or whatever, and it's loungewear and it's fantastic, it has a pocket for Doritos Fritos and Cheetos if you end up in the ocean where Cato is, you have a pocket. for your remote so it's a fall release it's done it's ready to go we have four kids they'll be called cater tots women are hot potatoes oh I see your minority working now you're an amazing kid I mean you really deserve it all Good friends who have all the good things for you, I appreciate it, do you ever regret everything?

Uh, you know I never wanted that, right? I told him you're sorry, but yeah, yeah, that question is, I can't, I can't after something. that since I can't go back in time, so I don't try to live in the past, I can only do things for the future and I always try to make the future better for myself and for everyone else, I can only answer what is going to happen. It happened and that's what I do. I can't answer any further. I guess I move on. Something I've never asked you. What was Nicole like? Nicole had a lot of energy and she loved to rant every day to Kris Kardashian.

The great mother loved her children and me. It's a shame that she didn't see her children grow up and it's a shame that Ronald Goldman has the opportunity to have children to be a wonderful father, yes, she was a good mother, a great mother, a good friend, yes, now You know, I think that if This is where I base things, I think that when a parent can entrust their children to someone, I think that's the biggest compliment, that it was good for her to go to the store and for her children to be safe and I He adored children and also OJ.

I knew we could trust Kate, oh oh Joy, she loved her kids, Oh Jill of decadence, oh boy, there were times when they were great together, how about the rumors that she joked too? I guess they're just rumors, I don't know. I didn't say I didn't see that Kato would talk about the state of media coverage in our final segment, plus Kato will answer some of his questions. Now we will return to Kato Kaelin, the media and his rise since then. then everything blew up from then on, right, didn't it? Oh yeah, the media all took off, it helped make CNN, I mean, CNN with the war helped Yahoo's first war in the Gulf, but it didn't just help with CNN and other programs. you really have to think about all the CSI shows, everything is, uh, what I mean, 48 Hours Law & Order SVU, all these shows are based on.

I really think it's based on that crime because it's all the transcripts themselves in the court

case

, if you think about It's, it's, it's a movie script. Was there a mistake with the LED cameras on the court? Well, that's a question. Don't know. I think I think he had it. I think you had to have it to discover something to discuss later. finding out now is the reason people would go it's a mistake to have cameras in the courtroom Oh J's kids talk to them no I stay away from anyone at the trial not because that guy said it's time to everyone move on, don't you By chance, we came back to some social media questions in sixty-two, a tweet, what do you think of the theory that OJ Son was the killer?

Yes, I think he was someone, he is a gentleman. I think his name was Bill Deer, who wrote a book about it. I think that was his name and I don't think that's my opinion. I just don't think it's valid. Oh, Jay Simpson, for president. Someone has a way, for example, on Instagram. I see that if OJ was in front of you right now, what would you do? Say I'd like to know. He would look him straight in the eyes and simply say: Did you do it? And you know he's okay, it's not even funny, but a lot of times I can be in airports or whatever.

That's the first thing people are going to shout if We're going to shout if he did it and if you look at life right now it's like who, how many NFL players and how many other athletes are in trouble. Now you have Aaron Hernandez, he had Rae Carruth, you had Oscar, who didn't play. Oscar Pistorius, you have so many crime and crime athletes, you're just so used to people committing crimes, now Jay is the most famous oleum ever tried for murder, yeah, are you happy man, yeah, very happy, man. Does this date, this anniversary, bother you to be returned?

I'm, you're in other programs. I'm sure you know why. I think with life it's kind of, you know, my sister lost her son in Iraq and I compare it. things that really yes, I think that pain is something that you have to go through when you lose something and the pain only makes you grow and it has been the pain to witness the parents. I can't imagine for the Goldman family and the Browns what they have to go through every day, but The process of grief and the passage of time you will never forget, but you have to go through the pain and that's the only thing I can relate to. mine, uh, for being lost in the war and my parents lost them, but for your own son or daughter, that's it.

It's difficult, they must go through so much misery. Where were you when I forgot this? Where were you when you found out Nicole was killed? Which was actually at OJ Simpson and the detective's main house for questioning me and Arnelle. Oh, geez, another daughter in In a room and I overheard a detective talking on the phone and having to tell the Browns that his daughter had been murdered. Did you wonder what the detectives were doing there? You didn't know they never came to my door, even I don't know. I remember they even said they were detectives.

I was stunned and just said there were four guys at my door. I said, come on, I was sleeping, yes I was. I think it was five or so in the morning mm-hmm and I just Remember they asked me what you were wearing last night and I showed him all the clothes and he didn't know why I thought OJ's plane crashed. I said he was there in a plane crash because you're in a daze, you think? No, he was flying to Chicago and that was it. Did you see him in the limo? The limo driver was there and yeah we were all outside and he went to the limo and he was acting really cool right before so I talked to a guy who flew up to him on the plane he said he was very natural he didn't seem bothered by nothing, yes, I didn't notice that anything in the behavior, everything seen the same, it doesn't faze you, yes, there is a man who you think he just killed, now you think that Only yes, I was used to it at home, he took his luggage and lifted me .

What's always been on my mind is that to this day there was a bag next to the Bentley that he was going to get for the limo driver and he said no, no. I'll go get that and that was a bag that was never recovered again we assumed it was in that bed I couldn't, it could have been a weapon so no one would ever know I love you Kate oh I love you more all right, fun fifty. thanks to my guest catering cable, check out our blog at aura TV slaps Larry King now for an exclusive segment if you only knew the world's most famous guest.
