Poor Conan O'Brien! His stalker is a Catholic priest, Father David Ajemian, from Boston. The Father was arrested last night for stalking Conan . Father Crazy tried to attend a taping of Conan's show last night, but was arrested instead. He's currently being held and awaiting a psychiatric examination.
Father Ajemian has been sending Conan threatening letters to his home and TV studio for about a year.
The New York Times reports what some of his letters said:
Feb. 20 letter said: “I’m told by some of those officious little usher people that you’re overbooked. Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans? You owe me big-time, pal. I want a public confession before I even consider giving you absolution.”
The priest has been signing the letters "Your Priest Stalker", and has contacted Conan's parents.
An April 26 letter, signed Padre, said, “I am not Seung Cho,” apparently referring to the gunman at Virginia Tech. The letter continued: “Even if I did once look out on that dark and dreaded doorway on West 72 Street, remember Frank Costello once dodged a bullet in your building, and so can you.” (The gangster Frank Costello was shot and wounded in the lobby of the Majestic on West 72nd Street in 1957).
A Catholic Priest as a stalker? Conan "dodging bullets?" It would almost be funny if it weren't so creepy.
