CONWAY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Late-night host-in-exile Conan O'Brien's decision to follow an unsuspecting Michigan woman on Twitter has turned her life upside down.

Last week, Sarah Killen had three Twitter followers. This week, the 19-year-old Conway Township resident has 20,000.

She's the only person O'Brien is following on the microblogging site.

The exposure has resulted in a new iMac, which was bought by a Florida businessman.

Also, a New York designer is donating a dress for her September wedding to 21-year-old John Slowik Jr.

Not bad for a couple who saved $30 for the wedding and hadn't reserved a location to hold it.

Killen lives more than an hour's drive west of Detroit. She says she believes O'Brien picked her at random.
