Appearing on NBC's Today Show on Friday, a day after Simpson died from cancer, Costas recalled visiting his long-time colleague at an LA jail, where the two were separated by a pane of glass.

'When I put [my hand] up there, and he saw the bandage and a little drop of blood, he said, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute. You did it,' Costas said, remembering his surprise.
