By RANDALL DICKERSON – 3 hours ago
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville police have arrested a country songwriter in the stabbing death of the father of TV comic Cheri Oteri (oh-TEHR-ee).
Authorities said Monday they had charged 61-year-old Richard William Fagan with criminal homicide in the Saturday night killing of 69-year-old Gaetano Thomas Oteri.
The victim's daughter was on the cast of "Saturday Night Live." Police say she has been told of her father's death.
Police say Fagan and the victim were roommates.
Fagan is listed as co-writer on hits by singer John Michael Montgomery, including "Sold (the Grundy County Auction Incident)," "Be My Baby Tonight," and "I Miss You a Little."

This isn't as funny as the "Will Arnett/Amy Pohler expecting first child 32 minutes" ago thread.

I feel bad for her both because her dad's dead and also because the AP felt she was so unfamous that they needed to include a pronunciation key for her last name. :(

Maybe Brandon should have titled the thread "Nashville songwriter charged in death of Cheri Oteri's dad 3 hours ago."

Maybe. It's just that one SNL thread has so much promise for humor, then this. I guess it's sort of like the show itself.

Wow. That's the oddest headline I've ever read.
