"Your most dangerous fans"

Okay, this is a weird story:

Priest accused of stalking Conan O'Brien

NEW YORK (AP) — A priest has been arrested on charges of stalking late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien by writing him threatening notes on parish letterhead, contacting his parents and showing up at his studio, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The Rev. David Ajemian, a priest in the Archdiocese of Boston, was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping session of NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien at New York's Rockefeller Plaza, said Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan prosecutor's office.

Ajemian referred to himself as "your priest stalker" in one note and complained of not being allowed in to see an earlier taping of the O'Brien show, court papers say.

"Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans?" the note said.

Conan O'Brien's most dangerous fan is a priest. BORing. No wonder I don't find it worth my time to stay up late. At least Letterman had some freak chick break into his house, which was marginally interesting.
"I want a public confession before I ever consider giving you absolution — or a spot on your couch," wrote Ajemian, who signed the notes "Padre," Thompson said.
"Padre"? I thought non-Hispanic priests only did that in Korea.

Today's talk show hosts are all boring. The genre has gone downhill since Johnny Carson retired.

I don't know, those letters are pretty terrifying.
