Larry David had a surprising encounter with O.J. Simpson on June 12, 1994, the same day Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were killed. David, a member of the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, saw Simpson in the dining room that morning. This account is featured in the upcoming authorized biography of David, "Emperor of Nothing."
Fellow comedy writer Alan Zweibel, who was with David, also recalled seeing Simpson at the country club. Zweibel had a prior connection with Simpson, having met him years earlier when Simpson hosted Saturday Night Live. Remarkably, Zweibel reported seeing Simpson a second time later that day at a middle school dance recital.
The biography, set for publication on October 20, is based on extensive interviews with David and those close to him. It delves into the unique neuroses and surreal situations that have defined David's comedy career, with this encounter being a particularly striking anecdote.
