Larry David saw OJ Simpson the day of Nicole Brown Simpson's 1994 murder: book
Larry David eerily crossed paths with O.J. Simpson on the day Nicole Brown Simpson was brutally murdered in 1994.
David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld" and creator/star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," discussed the chilling moment in his newly released authorized biography, "Emperor Of Nothing: The Making of Larry David." The book was written by Blake J. Harris.

On the morning of June 12, 1994, David was eating breakfast at the exclusive Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles alongside his then-wife Laurie, newborn daughter Cazzie and fellow comedy writer Alan Zweibel. Zweibel's wife, Robin, was also at the table.

Zweibel said that he will never forget that breakfast with Larry, or the date, "since that night O.J. Simpson killed Nicole [Brown Simpson] and Ron Goldman."
"[We] saw him in the dining room the day of the murder!" David said.
In the biography, Zweibel explained that he not only saw Simpson, but interacted with him twice that same day.
"We were having breakfast and all of a sudden I hear somebody say my name: ‘Zwa-bell.’ I turn around. It’s O.J. Simpson," Zweibel said.
He went on to explain how he knew Simpson. "I knew O.J. because I went to the University of Buffalo while he was playing for the [Buffalo] Bills," Zweibel began.
"He was like a god. And when he came to host ‘SNL’ [in 1978], I remember saying to Lorne, ‘This is my hero.’ So I spent a lot of time with O.J. that week. I wrote a lot for that show. And then in subsequent years, we had a mutual friend on Rockingham, and we all had kids around the same age, so we’d see each other at birthday parties and s--- like that," he continued.

Zweibel said that he also saw Simpson later that afternoon at his daughter's middle school dance recital.
"Our daughters were [both performing]. And on our way out, I again hear a familiar voice," he said.
"S---," O.J. said to Zweibel. "Twice in the same day!"
"Hey, Juice!" Zweibel replied.
Zweibel explained in the biography that he called Simpson by his famous nickname and told him that he had nothing new to share since he had already seen him earlier that day.

"Though, of course, [in retrospect] what I should have said was ‘Stay home tonight! Order in! Don’t go out!'" he said.
Simpson and Nicole married in 1985 and had two children, Sydney and Justin. They separated in 1992, and Brown filed for divorce after seven years of marriage.
In 1994, Brown and Goldman, her friend, were killed. Simpson was tried for their murders and acquitted in October 1995.
