The Rev. David Ajemian, 46, a Massachusetts Catholic priest, is charged with harassing and stalking late-night comic Conan O'Brien starting in September 2006.Yesterday, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office released documents detailing Ajemian's alleged harassing missives to O'Brien.
In a letter dated "2/20 MardiGras" and signed "Padre 009," the writer complains about not being able to get into O'Brien's show, writing: "I'm told by some of those officious little usher people that you're overbooked and to get the***off the premises!!! Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans??? You owe me bigtime pal. I want a public confession before I even consider giving you absolution or else a spot on your couch. I'm through with waiting in bogus lines on the mezzanine. I sure hope this complaint gets through the next line of flunkies --- to you sir."
In a July 2 letter signed Dave Ajemian, the writer compares himself to Robert DeNiro's character in the 1983 movie "The King of Comedy." DeNiro's character, aspiring comedian Rupert Pupkin, stalks his idol, a late-night talk-, show host and kidnapshim. "To call myself a sort of Rupert Pupkin (Remember DeNiro here) is perhaps not far off the mark. But I assure you a stalker of a very different order than the kind you are used to dealing with," the letter reads.
In an April 26 letter sent to O'Brien at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Ajemian allegedly wrote: "I'm not Seung-Cho, even if I did once look out on that dark and dreaded doorway on West 72nd St." (Seung-Hui Cho is the Virginia Tech student who slaughtered 32 people on campus last April and killed himself.)
