Speaking to Seth Meyers , Koch confirmed that he had "at least crossed paths" with Kardashian years before she helped him meet Erik and Lyle Menendez .

⁘I'd sometimes wake up and be going to school,⁘ he recalled, adding, ⁘Then I'd just walk into the garage and then, like, Khloé [Kardashian] or Kim or whoever would be in there and be like, 'Ah. Ok, cool.' ⁘

"She had a lot," Koch said, listing the likes of Julia Roberts , Michelle Pfeiffer and "all the Friends girls."

⁘I met Jennifer Aniston at a party somewhere. And I was like, 'Oh, I really gotta tell her about my mom.' And she was like, 'That's your mom!?' Like, 'Oh my god! And how's your dad?' ⁘ he shared.
