Conan O’Brien stalker arrested
A Boston priest was arrested late last week for stalking Conan O’Brien. Rev. David Ajemian–who refers to himself as Conan’s “Priest Stalker”–has been sending the Late Night host threatening letters, postcards, and emails for the past 14 months. After being turned away from a taping of Late Night earlier this year, Ajemian wrote to Conan:
“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 ever consider giving you absolution—or [I want] a spot on your couch.”
E! Online adds:
Ajemian also attended Harvard after graduating from high school in 1979, although it’s unclear whether he ever crossed paths with O’Brien, who finished college in 1985. At one point in his “correspondence,” Ajemian tells O’Brien that he’s been following his career since their Cambridge days. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston announced in a statement Wednesday that Ajemian, who was ordained in 2001, has been placed on leave and is no longer allowed to minister to the public.

This is the first time I can remember reading a story about a priest chasing around another man that was OLDER than he was! On the bright side, at least the Catholic Church is finally starting to move in the right direction–towards Scientology. Note to self: when stalking a celebrity, only refer to yourself as one of their most “dangerous fans” when you’re home alone in front of the full length mirror wearing red lipstick, high-heels, and fishnet stockings . . . that way, only the voices in your head will be able to hear you.
UPDATE: The criminal complaint filed against Ajemian:
