Matt Lauer hit up Late Night with Conan O’Brien last night, but the Today anchor had laryngitis and couldn’t talk, so the chat turned into a game of charades.

When Conan asked about co-anchor Meredith Vieira, Matt had to act out his funny response, including slapping Conan on the hand and pointing to his own rear.

Can you figure out what he was trying to say?

In need a good laugh? Then be sure to read Conan O’Brien’s strike diary at Entertainment Weekly. The late night funnyman shows what a monkey on his back the whole mess has been.

Here’s a mere sample:

There was an eerie calm before the Strike hit, which made its arrival all the more terrifying. The sky darkened and the cruel November winds howled. Hell hath no fury like a Writer denied his appropriate Internet-participation formula. I was tossed about my quarters like a rag doll, gasping for air and struggling against the relentless tide of angry industry chatter. Then all was blackness…


SINGLE WHITE PRIEST

A priest exhibits some behavior unbecoming to a man of the cloth. He’s been accused of stalking Conan O’Brien.

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.

The letters and e-mails, which started coming in September 2006, continued even after Ajemian was asked to stop and were “intended to cause annoyance and alarm,” Thompson said.

Making things even creepier? Ajemian also has been in contact with Conan’s parents.

The priest could face up to a year in prison if convicted of aggravated harassment and stalking.
