Who Was the Mystery Man Stealing Attention at the Simpson Press Conference?

During the O.J. Simpson press conference today, a trickster wearing a hat that said “I Love Famous People” and a shirt reading “OJ ‘07” tried to steal attention away from Simpson’s lawyers.

He constantly interrupted the press conference and even gave high-fives to bewildered attorneys.

So who is he?

“Extra” can reveal his name is Anthony Barbieri, a comedian who takes on a character named Jake Byrd and tries to insert himself into live events as his character. He frequently appears on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

He’s the same guy who wanted to free Paris Hilton as she was sent to jail.

I really enjoyed this guy he was funny just like this whole pre planned robbery to set OJ up. The media took it out of context because it was OJ and they still have it in for him because of the murder trail that he was not convicted of so they have to find a reason to put him in jail for something.I just can’t figure out why would someone have a recorder at a robbery that’s even funnier to me. These people need to get a job and stop trying to make money of OJ by stealing thing of his that they know they could sell or things that he would come to get.They caused a joke which the media fell for .Thank for getting OJ more air time and something else to right another book about and make more money.These fools who staged this should go to jail .

I thought the OJ 07 guy was funny. His reactions to OJ’s lawyers press conference outside the court house were classic. The whole OJ fiasco is a circus. What’s a circus without a clown? OJ should rot in cell. Who can be friends with this murderer??!!

i didnt find the man anthony barberi funny at all he was annoying and rude and to allow him to get more publicity on here or anywhere else is wrong he should be locked up himself in a mental ward that behaviour is pathetic and just teaches younger people acting like a donkeys behind is tolerated

Marcia Clark is so glad OJ is in trouble now she can make a buck again. She has so much BOTOX her jaws look like they have golf balls in them. You sure are providing her money to get more, good for you soon one won’t be able to see her eyes!!
