Juiced: Punk'd Knock-0ff Jokes with OJ

OJ Simpson Pranks & Improv on Hidden Camera

A hidden-camera prank show with OJ Simpson that will go straight-to-video will be a Punk'd knockoff aptly titled Juiced !-as in "You've been Juiced!"

A weird hush comes over the room as OJ Simpson arrives at the nondescript recording studio in Burbank, walking with a slight limp. A shady entourage surrounds him. Warren G, OJ's bodyguard, just got out of jail, and OJ's driver doesn't have a driver's license.

Today's "funny" prank involves unwitting singers and dancers coming in to audition for a music video. What these "victims" don't know is that the music video stars OJ Simpson. The part of "Power," a pink-belly-shirt-wearing complainer who will stir things up and get in a big argument with OJ Simpson, is played by Harmon Leon.

Cast members are thrilled to meet OJ Simpson. "Why don't you all dance around OJ?" the director instructs a group of excited girls. OJ, always the ladies man, adds, "This is not working out, but if you want to have dinner later…"

At LAX airport the crew prepares to film a golfing prank with OJ who drives up in a golf cart and says, "I'm going to play a round of golf," OJ states. "I need to warm up."

OJ chats away with two of his lifelong golfing partners, oblivious that 20 people are waiting for him to start filming. After OJ vetoes a wardrobe featuring old-time golfing knickers (the cap's too small for his alarmingly large head), things finally get rolling.

In the first gag of the day, Leon plats a smarmy member of the paparazzi, trying to antagonizing him. The humor here relies heavily on working off of OJ's improv skills, but he simply ignores him and says, "People are always trying to catch me doing something crazy on camera."

The gag somehow ends (much to everyone's confusion) with Leon and the producer wrestling on the fairway. Leon is told to run onto the fairway and steal all Oj's golf balls to have them autographed. His attendants threaten to turf Leon until OJ remembers at the 11th hour to yell, "You've been Juiced!" A free Juiced! T-shirt and signed golf ball does nothing to appease.

In a motel room in San Fernando OJ Simpson sits in a chair wearing heavy make-up to look like an old white man, but looks more like a severe burn victim. He will be going to a very white Elks Club Lodge for bingo night portraying Carl, an inept guest bingo caller with a stutter. Leon will be on hand to heckle Carl. Comedy mayhem will ensue.

Meanwhile, the TV's on. OJ's channel of choice - Court TV covering grizzly details about Scott Peterson, a man accused of killing his wife. "Of course they think he's guilty!" exclaims OJ. "They're prejudging him." Court TV turns to Martha Stewart whom OJ believes is guilty.

At the Elk's Club, OJ executes the gag with the pure comedy finesse of a high school gym teacher. "If you didn't stutter, you'd sound just like OJ Simpson," says a lodge member, clearly not getting it. The producer calls it a wrap.

Before leaving, OJ promises to introduce Leon to some key showbiz people at a company that produced OJ's TV series in the `80s - it went out of business 5 years ago.

At a used car lot in Las Vegas OJ tries to sell unsuspecting customers a used white Ford Bronco. Customer after customer is brought to the truck. "I tried to keep mine, but unfortunately they wouldn't let me," he says. For some reason, the Bronco has a large bullet hole in the side. OJ signs an autograph right above it.

OJ explains that the police lied about finding $10,000 and exaggerated about the amount of blood in the Bronco. He doesn't, however, mention anything about the disguise kit and passport. "One thing I can tell you, it has great escapability!" OJ chuckles.

At a motel on the Vegas strip OJ is wearing a late-era Elvis Presley jumpsuit and is drunk. Leon will be taking on the role of a bungling desk clerk. When tourists come in, he informs them their credit card has been declined and, confiscating the card, threatens to rip it up, while a drunken OJ strums on a guitar.

"Hey!" drunken OJ whispers to a couple before Leon can utter a word. "I'm OJ! Do you recognize me?" As the night goes on, more and more tourists are thrilled to find themselves in the same room as the acquitted murderer. "Oh my God! This is the greatest thing that's every happen to me," screams a kid in a basketball tank top.
