it's about the first female major league baseball player. >> yeah. >> jimmy: she's a pitcher. >> yes. >> jimmy: this is based on someone who made the minor leagues? or -- >> no, no, it's completely fictional. what's cool is major league baseball is a partner with the show. all the logo in the stadiums are major league. >> jimmy: that's great. >> growing up we'd watch a show about football or baseball and it would be the st. louis demons. >> jimmy: right. >> it took you out of it. >> jimmy: it feels wrong, it feels fake. >> i shot at dodger stadium the other day, it was amazing. >> jimmy: did you get to play baseball? >> i'm an old guy. so i'm the general manager. i'm an ex-player. initially i was very excited, i get to be a ball player! they're like, dude, you're retired. you're 45. >> jimmy: i think you could get away with it. >> i think so. >> jimmy: did you get to go on the field? >> i walk around a little bit. >> jimmy: you walked around. you have real players on the show? i think they're going to have some big players. i can't name -- i can't tell you

players. >> jimmy: it won't be like "the brady bunch" where somebody knocks on the door, wow, it's don drysdale! >> yes. yes, i remember that episode. >> jimmy: it makes sense that you're doing this on fox. because they have baseball. they have the playoffs and the world series and that kind of thing. >> yeah they do. there's a lot of synergy if that's the word. >> jimmy: have you ever worked for fox before? >> no, but it's funny, i had to go to sexual harassment training. >> jimmy: to learn how to do it? >> to learn how to do it. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] the night before, i'd never had to do this. i called my wife. she said, listen. anything you think about saying or doing at the meeting, don't do that. don't say it. you're not that funny. it's going to be wrong. and she was right, i went in there and i am scared to death. i have to rethink everything that i do. >> jimmy: how many people are in this meeting? >> there was 40 or 50 people. >> jimmy: is this because of roger ailes that they have this now? >> i'm not sure.

figured it was a good thing. >> jimmy: did anybody screw around? >> there was a meeting for the people after the meeting that were screwing around. like, you guys are going to say. stay. >> jimmy: really? >> we had a couple of old-timers. if somebody's doing something to a girl, should i just punch them in the face? like, you're staying after for another hour. >> jimmy: is that right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you were in this movie with kevin spacey. kevin spacey turns into a cat. >> his finest work.

>> anyway, now i'm concerned because we have to do the table read and the table read for the movie is an hour and 20 minutes. that's a long table read. i'm going to fall asleep. >> jimmy: that's where it's really hard to stay awake. >> they sat me next to christopher walken. i was so excited. christopher walken's doing christopher walken during the whole table read. i can't do it but he's doing that thing. >> jimmy: right, sure. because he has no choice. >> he has no choice. and i sat next to him at a party. like 15 years ago. and back then, when regis was on the show, he was kind of our social director. >> jimmy: regis was, okay. >> we went to senior citizen parties, old parties. i say that with love, i do, i say that with love. one of my favorite people, we went to judge judy's house for a party. >> jimmy: okay. >> i love her. >> jimmy: i love it already. >> i sat next to christopher walken. >> jimmy: wow, christopher walken was at judge judy's house? >> so 15 years ago -- >> jimmy: wow.

[ laughter ] >> it's 3:30 in the morning. and there's a little bit of a -- he's got his process. all of a sudden he becomes very lucid. he goes, "i sat next to you 15 years ago at judge judy's house and we talked about this, that. i'm like, my god, you remember that? he goes, yeah. then zip, back. started wandering off.

thank you for joining us. tonight a real-life plot twist. a federal judge overturns the conviction of brendan dassey, subject of the popular netflix documentary series "making a murderer." ruling his confession was involuntary. now after nine years of incarceration, he may finally go free. here's my "nightline" coanchor dan harris. >> i grabbed her, put her on the side, tied her up -- >> reporter: this is 16-year-old brendan dassey confess >> brought her outside and shot her. >> reporter: the teenager from wisconsin describing how he and his uncle steven avery raped and murdered 25-year-old photographer teresa holback. today a stunning reversal. after nearly a decade behind bars a federal judge overturned his conviction, ruling the teen's confession was involuntary because investigators pushed him into it. dassey's trial was featured in netflix's true crime documentary

many viewers and dassey's defense team, who said that the beginning he was manipulated into confessing to a brutal crime he did not commit. a lawyer who starred in "making a murderer" tweeting today, justice finally strikes. >> we're over the moon. >> reporter: laura nye ryder, one of dassey's lead attorneys and fiercest defenders. >> he's in shock. he's grateful. he's trying to process and understand what's happening. >> come on you can do it. tell us the truth. >> reporter: the judge today acknowledged doubts as to the reliability of dassey's confession but said the ruling hinged on whether the confession was given voluntarily, and based on dassey's age, intellectual deficits, and the absence of supportive adults, he determined it was not. dassey has maintained his innocence, making this emotional plea in a letter he read as part of the netflix documentary.

please help me if you can. sincerely, brendan dassey. >> reporter: i set out to explore the question, if brendan dassey did not commit the crime, why would he confess? if this videotape really shows dassey falsely confessing what made the jury convict? >> we're going to laura's office. >> reporter: laura nye ryder. >> they're not banging the table, they're him. does it fit into the classic model of coercive interrogations? >> absolutely, it does. >> reporter: at the time of his arrest branagan was a high school sophomore in wisconsin. he had a low iq and was enrolled in special ed classes. he lived on the family salvage yard next to his uncle steven. who had been released from prison after serving 18 years for a rape he didn't commit. >> we're glad you're home, honey. >> reporter: then avery was

murder of teresa holback. >> just have a seat. >> reporter: several months later brendan was brought in for questioning. >> cut her. >> cut her where? >> on her throat. >> it appeared hard to be able to argue it was coerced. >> reporter: len kachinsky was one of dassey's original court-appointed attorneys. he says when he watched the confession tape he became convinced there was no way a jury would believe dassey was innocent. kachinsky did try to get >> the defendant's motion to suppress these statements is denied. >> what are your thoughts? >> we're disappointed. we're going to start over. >> reporter: kachinsky cut a plea deal, set up another interview with his client and the police. >> you and steve had this planned? yeah? yes or no? >> yeah. >> reporter: an interview kachinsky actually skipped because he says he had army

>> with 20/20 hindsight, yeah, it was a mistake. >> reporter: for his failure to attend that meeting -- >> okay, why don't you sign that? >> reporter: the judge removed kachinsky from dassey's case. >> do you have a clear conscience? >> yes, i do. i did what i thought was in dassey's best interests. i don't think those mistakes had any impact at all on the verdict in dassey's case. >> reporter: several months later dassey went to trial with different attorneys and his confession dominated the proceedings. >> your job at the end of this case will be that statement ought to be believed. >> when you watch the videos carefully, they'll be exposed for what they are. and i think they're just garbage. >> reporter: dassey himself took the stand. >> you made it up? >> yeah. >> reporter: sticking to his story, even under tough cross examination. >> you lied to the police? >> yes. >> are you lying today? >> no. >> reporter: the prosecutor at dassey's trial made this confident assertion. >> people who are innocent don't confess. the defendant confessed because

>> reporter: but the fact is, innocent people do confess. richard offshy is one of the leading defense experts on interrogation tactics. he worked on the infamous case of the central park five. >> i grabbed her arm. i grabbed one arm, grabbed her legs and stuff. >> reporter: five teenagers who confessed in gruesome detail to attacking and raping a 28-year-old woman in the spring of 1989. >> any time he would talk smack he'd say, shut up, smack were all false. >> they came to believe that they would only be able to minimize their punishment if they cooperated with the police. >> reporter: turns out one out of four people wrongly convicted and later exonerated by dna evidence have made a false confession or incriminating statement. >> when you look at brendan dassey's confession what do you see? >> i see something that almost makes one ashamed to be an american. it's that bad.

that they want him to say. >> i don't feel, if i was faced by cops accusing me of a crime i did not commit, that i would confess to it. >> what would you do? >> i would say, get me a latwye. >> and that's the difference. those are the people i never see. the ones i see tend to think, i've got to get myself out of this. and probably your income is a bit higher than the average person. >> reporter: laura nye ryder break down the video point by says the interrogators railroaded dassey. >> we just need to hear the whole story from you. >> they reduce him over time to a place where he doesn't think that he can convince these officers of his innocence. when he's at that position of hopelessness, then the officers officer hoffer him a way out. >> your mom said to be honest with you. she's behind you 100% no matter what happens here.

we're in your corner. >> you see brendan believe the officers and say, i have to say the things they want me to say. >> reporter: even when dassey confesses, nirider says from her analysis he offers up no information that was not already widely reported in the media. >> the 25-year-old photographer disappeared last halloween, last seen taking pictures at the avery salvage yard. >> reporter: or directly fed to him by investigation. >> i'm just going to come out and ask you, who shot her in the head? >> he did. >> why didn't you tell us that? >> because i couldn't think of it. >> reporter: we reached out to the detectives in this video for comment but our efforts were not successful. prosecutors in dassey's case now have 90 days to decide whether to appeal today's decision or retry him. if they do neither, he could an free man once again. for "nightline," this is dan harris in new york. but wait, there's more?
