If we can imagine a Conan O’Brien’s Cinematic Universe, one of the biggest and best and most favored characters from said universe would be none other than his playfully reluctant assistant, Sona Movsesian. Shown in many a remote segment doing anything but her job, she is one of the closest people to Conan and is an indelible part of whatever he’s doing (Conan, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, etc.).

Thus, Sona wrote a book about her life and time being Conan O’Brien’s right hand, but also binging all of Friends the series while at work at the same time. Entitled The World’s Worst Assistant, Sona is currently on a book tour that will show how indispensable she is as foil to O’Brien’s signature tomfoolery.

Sona will be specifically doing a live event, thanks to Book Soup, at The Regent in DTLA on Wed. Jul. 20th at 6PM PT. Tickets are $40 from which you’ll receive a copy of The World’s Worst Assistant. Do not miss out and go get your tickets here.

It’s pretty clear that Conan O’Brien and Sona Movsesian will be one of the great late night duos as their dynamic as boss and assistant is just naturally so very, very funny. That’s quite a feat considering that Conan already has an all-time great late night duo between him and Andy Richter.

This actual meeting with a TBS Human Resources representative is just classic. Please enjoy this Team Coco gift to us all here.

Conan O’Brien’s Assistant Sona Movsesian Shines as Guest Filling In for Kumail Nanjiani

In an unexpected and likely historic episode of Conan (and that includes all the different iterations of Conan O’Brien’s tenure in late night), Kumail Nanjiani, the planned guest, was stuck shooting Silicon Valley due to some scheduling error and had to cancel last minute.

Since Conan only has one guest now, this presented a conundrum of what exactly to do. Thankfully, Conan had his assistant Sona Movsesian, a perfect balance for Conan’s antics and tomfoolery, sit down with him as the main guest. The interview ended up being the sort of cheeky and snappy back-and-forth that you’d hope get out of a late night interview, no matter who is sitting across from the host. See for yourself here.

So, we’ll be seeing more of Sona on camera, right? You can enjoy a lot more of this dynamic on the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend as Sona joins Conan on every episode.

He’s traveled all across the globe over his decades as a late night talk show host from Atlanta to Ireland to Cuba to Comic-Con, which has made for some of his best segments.

Now, Conan is taping a whole show in Armenia along with his assistant, Sona Movsesian, who happens to be Armenian, set to premiere on Nov. 10th on TBS.

There’ll be plenty of reminders between now and the premiere date, but make sure now to watch this.
