Kris Jenner, formerly Kris Kardashian, was married to the late lawyer Robert Kardashian, a member of Simpson’s “Dream Team” defense counsel. Friends star David Schwimmer plays Robert Kardashian in the upcoming series.

Meanwhile, Blair’s co-star John Travolta was spotted on set as defense attorney Robert Shapiro. Sporting a short wig, the Pulp Fiction star’s look seems spot on.
