Episode 35:Behind the Laughs: Sona Movsesian on Life, Motherhood & Being the World’s Worst Assistant
Description
Sona Movsesian is best known as the “World’s Worst Assistant”—a title she wears with pride and humor. For over a decade, she served as the beloved and delightfully chaotic executive assistant to Conan O’Brien, becoming a fan favorite through her appearances on Conan, The Tonight Show, and the wildly popular podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where she now co-hosts.
Born and raised in California to Armenian parents, Sona blends sharp wit with warmth, and has built a career by doing things her way. In 2022, she published her debut book, The World’s Worst Assistant, which became a New York Times bestseller and cemented her as a cultural icon for anyone who’s ever wanted to succeed—without playing by the rules.
Beyond comedy, Sona is a mom of twins, a proud Armenian-American, and a woman who’s navigated personal loss and public life with honesty and humor. Whether she’s bantering with Conan, writing a book, or just trying to find her missing coffee mug, Sona brings authenticity, irreverence, and a whole lot of heart.
