- In this full-length interview, Kato Kaelin, who would become a key witness in the highly publicized "OJ Simpson-Nicole Brown" trial, spoke about his upbringing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and his initial move to Hollywood in pursuit of a career in entertainment or professional baseball. He recalled meeting Nicole Brown Simpson soon after her divorce from OJ and how the two became really good friends after their first time meeting.

Now that you're watched the whole interview, do you feel differently about the OJ verdict?
Eff Nah ! OJ is still not guilty!!!
OJ is guilty
OJ is innocent
No... I think the same thing i have always thought. How he got off for those murders blows my mind. Even if there was just a couple things that happened out of all the things late out in just this interview it should have still been an easy case..no body else had motive and why run?
And.. you can hear how frantic and scared she was in that 911 call..she knew was he was capable of..
I met Kato back in the early 2000’s and hung out with him for a night. He was absolutely awesome to hang out with, great guy. Very honest and genuine. The ladies flocked to him but he really didn’t seem to be arrogant about it. I tried not to bring up the OJ stuff but my friend, after many alcoholic beverages, couldn’t resist and just asked him if he thought OJ was guilty or innocent, his reply “guilty”
You gave up the butt?
Everybody knows that he is guilty! been knowing from day one!
@@juand.ramirez8200 verdict not guilty puto
@@juand.ramirez8200 how dare you try to prosecute a innocent man when he's already been found not guilty!!you're not a honorable man and will be executed for your false claims and accusations!you have 72 hrs to apologize you wet back banana boat driving son of a biscuit!
He’s not guilty
I met Kato back in 2013 at a starbucks in southern California, i spent about 15min with him, and he was so gracious and polite it was unreal, the Simpson trial was not even mentioned, he loved talking about Wisconsin, he treated everyone there with so much respect.....a beautiful man.
He seems like a nice guy.
Lawyers don't care if there if someone is guilty or not it's all about winning
don't be lying bub, kato is a low life pos who allowed oj to get off with murder. Don't forget it was kato's meth habit that led oj to use speed and commit the murders of ron and nicole. The night of the murders, kato and oj went to burger king to get meth from an infamous drug dealer named jr and his sidekick ron x. Kato tried to claim he never did a drug in his life, bs. That is how he knew faye resnick and all the other druggies in that cirlce. Kato was the biggest leech in hollywood and the biggest tweaker as well. look at his testimony at the oj trial and he is jawboning all the time during the testimony, showing what a tweaker he was.
@@herminepursch2470
A victim that has their throat slashed knows too much
It isn't domestic violence
Obviously a great guy! He is an excellent interviewer too on his new podcast show. Great with guests and very deft at knowing when to be quiet to let them speak. Both he and detective Lange have protected the memories of Nicole and Ron for years now. Respect to them!
I'm so glad to hear Kato tell his story without interruption and very well interviewed. I believe him.
Isn't refreshing, this guy is a pro,
no, kato did it. not oj!
I believe you K tell the truth and shame the devil 😂😂😂
Vlad is great in that - he never interrupts & lets his guests finish their thoughts. Love it
@@anchorpoint3631😳😂😂😂
The jury who didn’t find him guilty should rot in hell
After he was clearly framed.
That sounds dumb; because you did not get your way? Did you want OJ to get the Chair?
He really oozes kindness, you can feel how genuine he is. He has also aged absolutely beautifully.
YUK!! OOZES kindness? That sounds "slimey" and I think that is a better word for OJ.
@Lee What's laughable is that 33 people agreed with her!?
I agree. He is such a sweet guy too. And in case you didn't know, when he was younger 30 yrs ago he did a dead-on impersonation of Johnny Carson.
😂
Female!
I remember how crappy they treated Kato back during the trial. I’ve always thought Kato was a good guy. I’m glad to seem him doing good.
Professional leech
He knows what happened
He deserved it.. he sat on the fence.. Great friend to Nicole Not.
@@kymduncan5292 can you imagine how scared he must have been now knowing the evil OJ was capable of?
He seems very guilty in this interview. You can tell he’s uncomfortable and lying. He keeps saying things that don’t make sense and scratching the back of his neck.
I like this man. He sounds real and honest. Poor guy who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Loves kids and tried to be helpful. If he was a talk show host i would tune in. Dont know about any acting. Speaks very well. Saw his testimony during the trial. Did his best to answer.
Hey Kato! Was in high school with Kato, Spanish class Ms. Heil and our lockers a couple feet apart. Kato was kinda the class clown, smart, sober, jock and very likable. My opinion, he’s an honest good guy. Cheers Kato!
nice try bub, i also know a girl who dated kato after high school and he was a meth using punk who impregnated her and then left town and didn't even pay for the baby to be terminated. yeah a real great guy, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jackbriggs3110my comment was my experience with him in high school. After that I have no clue what type of person he became. Get a life asshole.
@@jackbriggs3110 WTF, for real?!
😂😂😂😂
Kato seems like a really truly great guy. I wish him a wonderful life. Great interview
You should check out celebrity big brother him and Tom green clicked so well together it was so cool to see them hangout like they knew each other since they were little kids lol
100% agree. This all happened when I was in high school. I actually though Kato was on tv with bruce lee because somehow I just made that connection through ignorance, youth and snippets of things I had heard. We didnt have google back then.
He would be a lovely match for pamela Anderson, a nice honest funny attractive guy, he seems sensitive.
I watched that trial daily. The prosecution dropped the ball with the glove. That was easily explained. I liked Kato, he seemed like a good guy, and he didn’t deserve how they treated him. He knows Simpson is guilty. OJ will answer to a higher power one day.
@@mchapman132I think that day has come
RIP Nicole and Ron. Great interview. Thank you.
It’s 2023 and this story is still so riveting to me 😮🚐🔪🩸🔑✈️ the knapsack “I got that” 😮💨
Geez Kato has aged well. He looks like Ryan O’Neal and Brad Pitt had a baby. Intelligent, articulate and grounded - so different than I’d imagined. Interesting to hear this after so many years. Still can’t understand how OJ was acquitted.
I lived in the San Fernando Valley for many decades. Then, I was always hearing about all the crap Hollywood celebrities got away with.
OJ Simpson was a celebrity, especially if you are big fan of football and black. He was a hero to them. He could do no wrong.
Now, he's in court accused of butchering 2 innocent ppl. One he had a known history of abuse with. But this was LA. Site of the Rodney King beating. Virtually all black ppl, especially in LA took that personally. LA cops had quite a bad reputation. There was simmering hatred between cops & black residents in LA.
Johnny Cochran knew he could play up to those black jurors all those emotions he knew they had. And he did.
Both Marcia & Chris repeatedly failed to do the right things in this case. There was vital evidence they left out completely! Chris was warned the glove was going to blow up in their faces but entered it into evidence, anyways.
Then there is that egotistical moron in a black robe, Judge Ito who let fraternizing between the jurors & OJ occur in court! WTF. That's cause for a mistrial, so who dropped that ball??
Black LA residents outside the courtroom cheered when the verdict was read. We all knew only one person had motive, had the violent history and that was black ppl's "hero," OJ. There was a lot of projection from them when he was set free.
When ppl are filled with strong negative emotions, all facts and truth don't matter anymore.
I would have married him if I had known him 😅. I love a man with a sense of humor.
Lmao great comparison, although I see more of the Ryan O Neal in him.
because your hero meth using tweaker boy kato didn't testify to all that he knew, including being the drug contact who helped supply oj with speed the same drug meth amphetamine that turned oj into a drug fueled monster who killed 2 humans with his bare hands. the blood of ron and niclole is only kato's dirty lying meth using hands bub
He does look like Ryan and Brad! Ha
I'm very glad I watched this interview. Kato comes across as a very honest, decent guy. He was treated unfairly in the media during the OJ trial and beyond. I hope many people see this very fair interview.
IKR. He is an awesome guy! So genuine!
Yep
He actually killed them and blamed it on OJ, great guy
@@onefoot7 No he actually brought out just how clueless and delusional you are, and he is a great guy
You guys are smoking crack this guy was only reading off of a script he seemed guilty as fuck
This man is 63 years old in this interview. I would have guessed late 40's maybe. Crazy.
Good genes... dude looked like a model in the 90s
Would you boss him up still?
For sure, barely, he has been working in life.
@@marvinbrando722 😂😂😂
Ojs son did it
Great interview. I watched the trial back in the day with awe and disgust. Kato is a stand up guy. Honest, sincere, logical, with a good heart. Why some people still claim OJ is innocent is mind boggling. Cheers!
o.j. ran for 2000 yards in a 14 game season! he was set up period I think kato killed em.
People still think Micheal Jackson is innocent.... people are dumb and worship celebrities
The ONLY people who say OJ was innocent were BLACK ! I'm not saying that to be racist, just a fact. Of course OJ did it...get real.
lol @@user-db5ox4vt5j you from the dark side or what?
I don't think those who were around during the O.J. trial thought he was innocent.
No one I know (I'm 50YO, BTW) thought he was innocent at the time.
TBH, I'm the only one still on the fence about it.
I was homeless at the time of this happening. I had no idea who O.J. was, what happened, etc. I had bigger fish to fry, like not getting raped or murdered on the street.
PLEASE BRING KATO back now that OJ has passed. I would LOVE to hear what he has to say.
i don't care to hear a thing that lying meth using teaker has to say and neither do fred and kim goldman and denise brown.. so zip it please
I was a nanny for a dysfunctional family years ago. The family fought all the time. It was so bad that I did not renew my contract and on my way out the mother turned on me saying I abandoned the family. Avoid these crazy families. They will try to include you in their dysfunction.
Talk about privilege..You were expected to suck it up for people you weren't related to. Because, why?? (Because they are arrogant, egotistical nutjobs.)
Even more importantly turn them into social services repeatedly if necessary. Those kids were being brought up in an unsafe environment. Abuse is not just physical. Glad you got out. Please consider protecting the kids by turning in the parents. Good luck to you.
It’s kinda sad that she did consider you family and you left without helping her any way. I don’t know the whole story but I don’t think I could turn my back on a women who trusted me with her kids and her home and said that to me.
I hope the family is okay. Domestic violence is a terrible thing that haunts you the rest of your life.
@@Jeremiah13tears Don't even try to make this lady feel guilty! Your post shows hidden guilt. Are you the Mother who does not want to have the responsibility of raising her children, to nurture and love them? You said she left without helping her anyway? That is a very cold statement. I feel sorry for the children. The "mother" sounds shallow, unfeeling, empty and cold. Your post is creepy.
@@Jeremiah13tears There was a part of me that was thinking the same thing. Maybe you stay and try to help instead of quitting.
This is the best interview I’ve seen with Kato. Mad respect for him, I wish him the best!
I agree that this is an excellent interview with Kato. I haven't seen him speak for 30 years. He has matured into a genuine man with kindness and respect for people that is admirable. I'm glad I watched this and am happy that Kato is doing well. I wish him continued success in all areas of his life.
only a stupid liberal would condone Kato's lying in court, and then have respect for him? May he be a juror in your court hearing, you ask for the same lie... you both devil worshippers!
I was in my late 30s & living in San Fernando Valley during this time. LA was my "backyard," and there was always news about celebrities breaking through on the local news.
This phone call is absolutely chilling. I got the impression Kato was just a sweet, patient, down-to-earth guy who seemed to get along & charm everyone.
He still is. Wonderful person. ❤
Very likeable. I would have dated him. Sweet guy. ❤
He got along with everyone except the maid Michele.
To be caught up in this case was horrible for Kato. He knew the truth. Much respect to him for doing what he did. ✌️
yeah much respect for being oj's drug mule and supplying oj with the meth that turned him into a monster that could kill 2 humans with his bare hands. yeah great guy this tweaker and meth head kato is, right buddy
I was 13 when this happened. Me and my family watched the whole trial. I hoped he didn't do it but as I got older my mind changed. This was one of your best interviews ever.
Agree. Now we knownbetter
sadly he probably did it...i was hard to fathom at that time...i was 18
@@johnnythunder196yep any shit is possible. In this day and age, the person who appears guilty is not where as the guilty one appears innocent ironically
Same! I believed in his innocence then, but now we know better
Kato is genuine, honest and came through what was an unimaginable time of a horrific double murder, committed by the very man, who he'd been with just before the sadistic murder of his fairly new friend and her visitor?
Excellent interview 👍🏻
Think about it.
Would you commit murder with your kids asleep then go have a burger and not call to check on the kids?
@@wilcoxdaniel9825If you knew anything about a narcissistic and/or sociopath you would understand it's typical behavior. Add in domestic abuse that occurred for yrs. You get O.J. who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Domestic abusers kill when they realize they have lost control over the abused. A sociopath only cares about their self always. The only thing that matters is their wants & needs. Kids in their mind are extensions of them and therefore are nothing more than that. He isn't capable of love. There are 100's of domestic violence reported daily in US. So many more never reported. The abuser knows they can do whatever and get away with it. By the time the abused realize they have almost died several times and they need to get out, it is often to late. The most dangerous time in an abusive situation is when the abused leave. The abuser losing control of the victim they can't handle. The kids being in the house where they could find her body when they woke up mattered not to OJ. He abused her in front of the kids their whole lives. If he was worried about the kids he would not have abused her continually in front of them. The screaming,the threats,the beatings the kids were there during a lot of this too. They were not important to him. He and he only is all that he did then and still now cares about. Unfortunately domestic abuse and murder is not occasional or once in a while it happens daily all over the US. Sadly the US is not exclusive in this by a long shot. Research what I have said and you will see the truth. While you might never think it ok to kill a mom with the kids in the house is one thing. OJ does not think like you proven time & time again through his actions.
@@wilcoxdaniel9825 No, but I'm not a jealous psychopath who kills in a fit of rage... On the other hand though, O.J. is.
The only thing he was thinking about was how is he going to get away with doin the deed. Where is the closest place to rent a vehicle, grab a change of clothes, write out some suicide letters, and hit the ATM for some get-away cash.
@Daniel Wilcox. It would make no sense for OJ to call and to wake up his kids who were happily, safely, and securely asleep in their own beds in their own home. OJ had to hang onto his narrative that he didn’t know what was going on nor who had committed the double homicide. OJ had a bloody knife as well bloody clothes to hide. He also had a limo and a plane to catch.
So happy I decided to watch this interview. Although it did bring back horrific memories the hiatus of time passed made it easier to revisit that time in history.
Kato was engaging and handled the questions extremely well. Delighted to see him looking altogether just fine. Many good wishes for health and continued success.
Cheers from TO. Canada 🇨🇦
Kato seems like a super likeable fellow, very courteous, cordial, fair-minded.
He's just so present. Excellent interview.
If you need to see a complete 180 of the man OJ Simpson is, you're looking at him. What a calm, honest person. Great interview.
Where else can we get a more accurate story than this? Good interview.
an honest interview ...we arent used to this ...👍🏻
I got to work with Kato on a Pilot tv program, that he mentiones at the end of this interview. John Gray's Teen Court. He was nothing but professional and gracious. He did not deserve to be vilified like he was back then. He is doing well.
I always liked him! He always came off as being charming and funny.
He got a raw deal from the Hollywood reporters but that's not new, unfortunately. I lived in the San Fernando Valley then & heard all about Hollywood celebrities & gossip & how certain outsiders are treated with disrespect.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Glad to see Kato is thriving and seems happy.
sorry bub, ask drug dealer jr how great of a guy kato was. if kato had done the right thing and admitted that he got oj meth from burger king the night of the murders when asked by marcia clark then oj would have had to admit he killed ron and nicole in a drug fueled rage. but no kato saved his own skin and oj walked after butchering two humans. kato should have been charged with helping the murders cause he gave oj the meth that turned him into a monster that killed 2 people with his bare hands. yeah your friend, meth using tweaker kato is a great guy, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jackbriggs3110 boy you hell!😂 Meth from burger king???
Kato seems like a decent and grounded guy. He was a victim of circumstance. Great interview.
Omg! This brings back bitter sweet memories for me! A long, long time ago when I lived in Hollywood full time, my best friend who was also named Nicole,dated Kato. We all used to hang out together and I remember Kato being absolutely hilarious. He was a joy to be around,he was always cracking jokes and cracking us up.He was much older than us, but he acted like a kid. Tragically, my friend developed cancer and she passed away months after being diagnosed. Kato wanted to attend her funeral but couldn't because that's when he got involved in the whole horrible O.J thing. Thank you for uploading this Video! From Paris with love, Pia Paradis RIP Nicole & Nicole ✝
You called that right. I grew up and played baseball with the Kaelin brothers Kato, Johnny and Mark. He is absolutely what you said about him. A really funny, sweet and totally honest. His parents were the nicest people I ever met. Peace, Sperbs
I used to see him at like every party I went to in my 20s in the “Hollywood circle”. I remember he had a very beautiful gf whom if I remember correctly she was from Chicago.
So sorry for your loss, but sounds like you have sweet memories 💛
@@robertsperber7003aww.. I never had the pleasure of meeting his parents. I guess it's true, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... Is that the American saying? I think I said it correctly!LOL! Seriously though, Thank you for your sweet message, BTW I dig your name "Sperbs" too cute! Luv, Pia
@@Mytube777 Yeah, he attracted females.. and males, haha.. because not only was he attractive physically, his personality was a magnet for everyone. Much love, Pia Paradis
People should NOT blame the justice system at all on this case. We should blame the incredibly stupid JURORS who acquitted O.J.
How?! This is absolutely unbelievable!! These people are the reason a murderer walked free.
The state. Of California put a cop on the stand knowing he was going to commit surgery,they planted blood proven by science fact! The jury did what they were sworn to do.
Amen to that!
There is allot of stuff that played into this. Jurors, racist cops etc.
Its really crazy to think he got with this though
It was a makeup call for Rodney King and the incredibly racist police force
We was acquitted because he was a famous football player but I am sure that everyone sees a different side of him now.
Came back from Israel not too long ago. You help my brother so much. He has severe PTSD. You help is daily life and I am so grateful. We just lost our mom and our father has been passed away since we were babies. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
Such a beautiful message. Thinking of you.
I enjoyed this interview. He seems like a decent man. I wish him success in his future projects
Facts I also thought he had a nice sense of humor..
Seems like a good guy
It was not proven tome that OJ did it
Kato's time on the stand was one of the most riveting testimonies 👏🏻
I'm obsessed with the O.J trial, watched it from start to finish, without a doubt he was the most memorable witness of the entire trial
overnight, he became inextricably linked with one of America's most indelible public spectacles.
@@GreenmanRP I was too, as all soaps were pre emptied, started to watch , & was addicted . !! Kato was goofy, funny,.. Remember the question MARCIA C. asked , something like, " Were u happy, OJ asked u to go w. him,.. to McD?"" Kato : "Wouldn't u ??"
& was laughter ,..
Mark F. testimony was truth,.. but he sank the ship be pleading 5th
@@Memow-pk1ngoh and when Marcia was asking Kato if he thought OJ would help with his acting career and that was reason he was around OJ. Kato was saying that wasn't the case. He said "I don't think we're going for the same parts" That got a huge laugh.
I was watching a soap during that time and used to record All My Children I was a bit bummed at the time for my soap not being on. I didn't record the trial and only saw recaps on news ((at the time I was only vaguely interested in the trial) Now I see how fascinating it was (it was like a real life soap) and am watching now online
He really had a lot to do with the downfall of the soap opera genre.
@@GreenmanRPhe was for me too. Mr Fung was cool to watch Barry Scheck tear him apart on the witness stand too. I am watching most of it online now. I found Detective Vanatter sort of attractive for a guy in his mid 50s. He reminds me of the actor Jeff Daniels in both looks and mannerisms. I always found him underrated and sexy. He could have definitely played him in an OJ movie.
At the time I was around 27 or 28 so I remember thinking Kato was a cute surfer dude.
Utterly fascinating interview!!! I was in court reporting school at the time and they herded us into the mock trial room to watch the verdict!
Honestly excellent interview. Thank you.
Wow I never realized what a genuinely nice person he was. He looks great, too.
This poor guy walked into a big mess. He clearly has a good heart. So sad.
Agree, he seems like such a genuine lovely guy.
the price of free rent ended up being expensive
read a bible nobody has a good heart.
@@marilynwillett804 that’s just u & ur god
sorry he lied on the stand, if he had just admitted to going to burger king and buying meth like marcia clark asked him then oj would have had to admit he killed ron and nicole in a drug fueled rage due to the meth that kato supplied him with. sure kato was a great guy, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kato seems like a pretty cool guy. I can't even imagine what a nightmare it was to have gone through that trial.
This was a really great interview. Vlad is the rare interviewer who lets the interviewee talk
He is so sincere and you know he’s telling the truth good interview👏
He was a mooch and an idiot still is sorry!! I’m sure a drug addict as well!
Kato, I'm going to be honest with you . When you came on the scene in the courtroom I just assumed you were on OJ's side and because I worked at the time I did not get to see the trial so I wasn't aware you were someone I could actually trust. It is good to hear you in this interview and to see how sincere and honest you really are. I'm sorry I missed judged your character.
You seem like a very nice person.
Well I watched the entire trail, I had watched Kato Testimony, he was not forthcoming with the Prosecutors. Now he realized the truth.I remember Marsha Clark wanted to held me in contempt court.
@@dianasimeon1386 she called him a hostile witness
@@Memow-pk1ng they explained what hostile witness means. It doesn’t mean hostile as in being a hostile person. Just means the defense couldn’t come back with questions after she questioned him. But people think hostile means non cooperative.
You didn't misjudge him due to missing the trial and you likely didn't just "assume" he was on OJ's side. The media lied about Kato endlessly. They suggested he was some slickster or dimwitted actor living for free in rich people houses. That he was playing buddies with OJ to sleep with Nicole. He was just a nice guy, but "nice guy" didn't sell newspapers.
@@dianasimeon1386 - Clark was admittedly tough on Kato, saying his "thoughts were as disheveled as his blonde hair." But she was expecting too much from him. She wanted discredit his testimony she didn't like, but then use his testimony she did like. You can't do that to a witness. Clark should've gone after judge Ito in the press instead.
I always loved Kato when watching this dreadful trial. To see him now convinces me he's the real thing. A decent, honest and highly amusing man. What fun to have him as a friend. He has such spirit and heart. This is a super interview, he was put in a hard situation that I'm sure lingers. I watched it all to the devastating conclusion. Wish Kato the best, expat 🇬🇧🏴
Shame on the jurors. OJ did the crime, and the ket him from doing time. F’rs all deserve KARMA. My heart always goes out to Ron and Nicole, and their loving family members.
I'm glad he beat it because OJ had CTE I heard a Dr of his Dr's say if the trial would be today they would use it
Kato has always been down to earth. Very likable guy.
Another person who was handed the keys to the world and, he not ruined life for himself, but to so many others- (OJ). Nicole, Ronald lost their lives at their prime, and their loved ones will never be the same. The image of Ron’s father’s face is imprinted on my mind forever. This was a great interview. I have always thought Kato was a kind, respectable, honest all around good guy. May he be Blessed with a great life from here on.
Agree 💯
Just the odds that his fresh blood would be where it shouldn't be. The most likely scenario is he killed Nicole and Ron.
@@genxx2724 hoping? He was taking Nicole to poundtown and made OJ his cuck. That’s why he’s dead
Nicole and Ron were link to drug dealers and it was a hit job.
@@genxx2724 think they were just friends, was returning Nic. mom glasses, OJ had seen him driving Nic Ferrari.
It looked like Big. was expecting company , as candles were burning all over .
You are redeemed by me Kailen. Watched the trial, I was 32 years old at the time. Thank you. I needed this to cement my opinions.
I was around 27 or 28. I remember thinking he was a cute surfer dude. I was working f/t, so didn't see much of the trial, except for clips on evening news. So recently I have been watching documentaries. The OJ 25 series is very good. It shows quite a bit of trial Somewhere I saw, Kato had groupies during the trial.
Powerful moment in time....glued to the trial
OJ getting away with this finally proved there are two tiers of justice in America.
🎯
The prosecutor wasn’t prepared for those, and he had an amazing team of the best. They made a pretty convincing case. The problem is the prosecution made a case odd one knife, one killer, so the small gloves found didn’t fit OJ, that was enough to present doubt in the jurors.
There were 2 killers.
Duh welcome to reality
Correct. One where a crooked prosecutorial system reigns supreme and the only ones with any hope to overcome it are people with lots of money.
State of California would have gotten away with framing an innocent man if not a number of fortunate breaks
I respect Kato for telling the truth no matter how unpopular it might have been to OJ fans. Hope he's doing well!
Vlad what a stellar interview, your questions and timeline are so well researched! I am 62 so watched the trial, but these many years later it’s so interesting to hear back the series of events and a clear recollection from Kato without the media circus and slant
Other than a biased jury, the judge was largely responsible for the miscarriage of justice that happened in the OJ trial. At times, a judge will throw a juror off the case if the defendant is seen waving or communicating with the jury. The defendant would also be admonished to stop immediately. Judge Ito was a disgrace.
Most anticipated interview I’ve been weirdly hoping for.
What a nice guy! You can tell he just says what he remembers..I wish him the best, great interview
I am glad this interview is out. Kato seems honest and likeable.
You brought humor to your statement "never did you do so little to be known by so many"..brilliant statement...good luck to you in whatever lies ahead...
I watched every minute of that trial and I adored Kato and adore him even more hearing more of his background and the way he approaches life.
What a great interview Kato. I cant imagine how much the years of your life has been sooo bizarre. You are very trustworthy. I thank you for this interview update.
Great interview. Thanks for the insight.
This was an awesome interview. VLAD your the best and you really did a lot of research. Amazing
I remember the chase on tv. I was in middle school. Kato seems like a genuine and likable guy.
Great interview. I can tell Kato is a standup individual who comes across as very genuine, no BS. I’m happy for his current success, he deserves it.
Great interview indeed. I have my feelings about kato, but the interview is 🔥
his success comes from being a Freemason: tellin lies in court, and being a true devils advocate

Good interview.
He seems like an honorable guy. What a frightening and sad set of circumstances. I hope his dreams come true.
What a GREAT interview
Nicole trusted and felt safe with Kato by her wanting him to move in with her at her new place. She didn’t feel safe alone
He wasn't gonna be put in a position to protect her. Thats why he said he wasn't comfortable being under the same roof. Also why he went straight to his room when he saw police instead of asking them what was going on.
Interesting, Nicole was mad and said OJ manipulated Kato to move from her guesthouse to his guesthouse. That might be indicative of premeditation.
Did yall know her…wow😂😂
@@NARCDELUSIONOJ did not think that a single male should be living under the same roof as a single women! That's why OJ was angry with her! OJ may have felt that it looked immoral.

Excellent interview!
An open, warm person.
This is a great interview. Kato looks good after all these years. Kato I'd like to you more on TV.
I feel you are a honest guy and deserve more than you got. I hope you are offered a job on a big investigation show soon. I started watching this interview but had errands. All day I kept thinking I gotta get home and finish this. I will be watching it many many times.
This is an amazing interview. Very illuminating!
I met Kato in 1994/95. I was about 14 years old... He was at an Old Chicago in Colorado Springs. It was the wildest thing, just to randomly see him there! I was w/other older teens, and I clearly remember one my friend asking him: So did OJ do it? And he replied: I can't talk about that.
He had a great sense of humor, and he was really nice to us kids. I still have the napkin he autographed for me! :) Watching this interview tho, he really does seem like a great guy!
This was a GREAT interview, Kato is a good guy I learned a few things I didn't know listening to him tonight. Like some of the jury members waved at Simpson, wow! I feel the sorriest for Fred and Kim Goldman and the horrible murder of their beloved Ron. 💔
OJ is innocent
@@Runitup84 You are nuts. Even the jury in the ESPN special admitted they gave him a pass. DNA and everything implicated him.
@@SuperDrJeckyl the DNA was planted by mark fuhrman it also had EDTA in it which means it was in a vile. Come with facts not opinions.
@@SuperDrJeckyl it was a fair trial and he was innocent
@@SuperDrJeckyl ESPN?! 😂🤣. You can’t be serious
Fantastic interview. Crazy story. Thank you for revisiting this case with Kato. He seems very genuine. I was working as a domestic violence counselor at the time of the murder. O.J. checked every box for being a possibly murderous offender including having a pile of incriminating evidence against him. I thought he did the crime and this interview reaffirmed that.
We all know why he was found “not guilty “
OJ was set up
@Kevin Murdaugh Yep and that makes you turn pink with anger huh lol 😆 🤣 😂 God Bless America 🇺🇸 💪🏾👍🏾✌🏾
The fact that the justice system worked in favor of a half Black man really makes you turn red huh lol God Bless America 🇺🇸 💪🏾👍🏾✌🏾
@@TDBurrow OJ was found not guilty because the justice system wanted compensate for fn up on the Rodney King verdict
I went to grade school with Brian “Kato” Kaelin. and remember him as only being one of the nicest boys in class and this was junior high and a lot of boys aren’t so nice in junior high and he was funny as hell and when I found out that it was the same Brian Kalin when the whole OJ thing happened my biggest fear was for his life. I’m glad he is doing well and has found his way remember hosting the SONNY and CHER show Brian?
Awesome story. Wisconsin, right?
@@chocolatetownforever7537 yes. Milwaukee. OLGH grade school
I wonder if Kato Kaelin ever thought for one second what would have happened had he walked in on the killing of Nicole or Ron. No way OJ would have let him live.
And walking in on the killings could very likely have happened given where Kato was living in OJs backyard.
Really, I think Kato is lucky to be alive.
OJ wouldn't have left any witnesses, no matter how nice or kind Kato is. OJ was always No1 to OJ!
Never thought about that, but what happens if hes living with Nicole at Bundy, like he was at Gretna Green. Was OJs stalking spoiled because he would know that a male was living there, or does none of it matter, and OJ kills Nicole, Ron, and anybody in that house that night that arent his kids?
Interesting thought on your part.
I agree
kato is the true reason behind oj killing ron and nicole kato got oj hooked on meth and the night of the murders got meth from burger king and that fueled oj murderous rage look it up, marcia clark asked him if he went to burger king and the lying meth using tweaker said no, giveing oj an alibi. your buddy kato should have been charged with the murders as well for turning oj into a meth montster
@@jackbriggs3110 One of the most insanity laced comments ive seen on UA-cam in twelve years of being on here.
Congratulations.
It’s scary to think that your whole life can change because of who and where you’re living.
Wow .. truth
Plot twist would be that Kato did it 😬😅
man, don't Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth know that
Yes especially if he had been living on Bundy Lane.
@@mikeodonnell6799 📽️📽️🥃🚬🤣🤣
I’ve always thought very highly of Kato. You could tell during the trial and in his proceeding interviews that he is a good, genuine person and that the media portrayed him incorrectly. I’m glad he’s doing well and decided to embrace the cards he was dealt.
Kato comes across as a nice, honest guy. Good to hear about his life and clear up rumors he was subjected to.
Big up Kato, told the same story 1000 times, I would be pissed off, genuine good person
This is disturbing..I still believe OJ is guilty. And to know what the Goldmans and Nicole's family have gone through breaks my heart.
Guilty
It was only oj the amount of stab wounds was personal
And karma really is a B%tCh....
@@padraigdelaney9244 he didn't know Ron. He was stabbed multiple times too.
What about the son or brother of OJ, the guy who was the Chef ? they were supposed to go to his restaurant that night but she canceled and went somewhere else at the last minute.
I always thought OJ was there but didn't do the actual killing.
Wow, what a nice guy, he comes across as humble, honest and caring…goodness, what a thing to get caught up in through no fault of his own…very difficult. I wish him all the very best, Linds, Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴 xxx
Loved seeing him after all these years
He also seemed like a good guy. Nicole was lucky to have him as a friend.
I was a tea specialist in the mahogany library at the Ritz Carlton-Laguna Niguel in 1985-86. I would see OJ almost daily walking through the main entrance. Hertz was the official rental car agency for the Ritz Carlton and OJ was their spokesperson. I will Never forget him coming up to me and introducing himself and him saying that I reminded him of his wife. The ungodly evil from jealousy and hate and his ego is still so shocking. Prayers for his victims, their families and the innocent children. This interview with Kato was well done. Much Blessings.
He was sizing you up as his next victim ( as you read this play the Psycho music in your head)
@@billbailey7193 LOL... he wasn't my type. The arrogant way he walked around like he owned the Ritz-Carlton was laughable. My co-workers and I DID laugh about him when we would be breaking down afternoon tea in the supply room.🤭😝
Nice place. Been there several times. He use to go into a bar I worked at in OC.
WOW...That must be a line OJ used on blonde,hot girls. My old roommate in Hollywood and I used to go out and we would always see him at the clubs. He told my roommate the same thing! He said,"You are sooo beautiful, you remind me so much of my wife". She HATED him! It was a vibe he put off that came through his fake, nice persona. I didn't buy his nice act either. He wasn't into my Kate Mossish body and look.. He liked voluptuous blondes, a little insecure but beautiful and with full booties! My petite French vibe put him off, Thank God! So glad you didn't fall for him! I could not believe the women that lined up to be his next wife after the trial.. it was sick. They would stand outside his gate and just wait for him to drive out. He picked one almost immediately,it didn't last more than a couple of months. He started hitting her and she ran for the Hollywood Hills!
@@piaparadis1253 WOW indeed! Thank you for your post. OJ had the makings of being another Ted Bundy. Many said they were both good looking and charming but I never saw anything "attractive" nor "charming" about either one of them. I'm glad your friend didn't feel capivated by him and only repulsion as I did. I don't have hate in my heart and my instinct told me to be aloof to his now "worn out, fake compliment" referring to his wife. The women you say who were standing outside his gate are sad wannabe's with shallow and hollow dreams. It is inevitable they will sadly find out the hard way that life in "Hollyweird" is not so glamorous, safe nor wholesome. Again, thank you for posting your story Pia. Stay safe and happy and much Blessings to you. Jolene.
Great interview. Thank you for NOT having some corny 5 min long intro i have ff through. Refreshing.
So true, i hate the intros and hosts talking about what they ate for dinner and acting like an interview isn't coming up, then finally getting to an interview. Your spot on
I really enjoyed this interview. Kato seems like a steady dude.
Excellent interview, very linear and asked totally on-point questions. I'm in total agreement with everyone else here: Kaelin is down-to-earth, bright, well-spoken, humble, good-humored, and utterly charming. Really enjoyed this, and will make a point to find Kaelin's podcast and other projects.
He seems like he would be a great person to have as a friend. I am happy his life is going so well.....
Kato I can relate to so much I have always personified the humble personality it makes me feel good about myself at the end of the day.
As I’m watching this, it’s really nice to know that people do get better with age. He looks amazing. He sounds so intelligent. He was young at the time and probably because he was pretty got worse rap I’m so glad he’s happy.
Awesome Interview, was too young to understand the case but being older now, I can see how big of a moment in history this was
I know how you feel. I was in junior high at the time. They read the verdict on the school PA system. All the black kids cheered and all the white kids were furious. Sad how were divided we were by some rich guy.
This was an ABSOLUTELY GREAT interview! I really really enjoyed it!
reminds me of my longer years in l.a.. best life ever...watch freeway chase...and follow the case..now in 63 and leaving in the philippines..beautiful interview..more power to both..
I really like everything I've seen of Kato. He seems like a genuinely good person and not the least bit arrogant or false like most people in his situation may have been. Thanks for having him on your show. I really enjoyed this. 😊
