Summary
From Conan O’Brien’s longtime assistant and cohost of his podcast， Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend， a completely hilarious and irreverent how-to guide for becoming a terrible， yet unfireable employee， and getting away with doing the bare minimum at work
Sona Movsesian didn’t wake up one day and decide to become the World’s Worst Assistant。 Achieving such greatness is a gradual process--one that starts with long hours and hard work before it eventually descends into sneaking low-dosage edibles into your lunch and napping on your boss’s couch。
With a forward from Conan O’Brien， The World’s Worst Assistant is populated with hysterical black-and-white illustrations， comics， and more。 It’s a mixture of how-tos （like How to Nap at Work and How to Watch TV at Your Desk）， tips for becoming untouchable （like memorizing social security and credit card numbers and endearing yourself to friends and family）， and incredible personal stories from Sona’s twelve years spent working for Conan that put their adorable closeness and professional dysfunction on display。 In these pages， Sona will explain her descent from eager， hard-working， ambitious， detail-orientated assistant to self-awarded title-holder for the worst in history。
This book is irresistible fun you’ll want to give to every young professional in your life。 For readers of heartfelt humor like that of Phoebe Robinson and Colin Jost， The World’s Worst Assistant is a chance for fans， viewers， and listeners of Conan’s shows and podcast to fall in love with Sona and Conan all over again。

The writing is a bit clunky at times and the structure is a bit all over， but if you’re a fan of Conan then there’s plenty of fun anecdotes and behind the scene looks to keep you entertained。 A quick and enjoyable read for fans。

4 starsI'm a huge fan of Conan and over the years， I've come to love watching Sona in random bits on his show and I love what she brings to his new podcast。 When I heard she was coming out with a new book called The World's Worst Assistant， I knew I had to read it。I listened to the audiobook， which was narrated by Sona， and I really enjoyed it！ I would say if you're a big fan of the podcast and Sona， you should read/listen to this！ The only reason the book doesn't get 5 stars is because many of 4 starsI'm a huge fan of Conan and over the years， I've come to love watching Sona in random bits on his show and I love what she brings to his new podcast。 When I heard she was coming out with a new book called The World's Worst Assistant， I knew I had to read it。I listened to the audiobook， which was narrated by Sona， and I really enjoyed it！ I would say if you're a big fan of the podcast and Sona， you should read/listen to this！ The only reason the book doesn't get 5 stars is because many of the anecdotes in this book， while they're great， I already knew about them from being a fan of Conan and Sona。 This book was a lot of fun with a lot of laugh out loud moments。 Sona did a great job。 Also， the foreword， written/read by Conan， was great as well。 Although I disagree with Sona; it's definitely not the best part of the book！ I'm really glad I read this。 Great job， Sona！ PS: KEDAKAI！！！！ AS GOD MADE HER！ 。。。more

Time wasted in my life I can never get back。 This was listed as comedy but I bailed out when I noticed I wasn't laughing。 What happened to Conan， man？ He used to be so cool。 Why does he let an assistant bully him？ I don't get it。 I've never heard of this lady。 Time wasted in my life I can never get back。 This was listed as comedy but I bailed out when I noticed I wasn't laughing。 What happened to Conan， man？ He used to be so cool。 Why does he let an assistant bully him？ I don't get it。 I've never heard of this lady。 。。。more

Thanks first to PRHAudio for this complimentary audiobook！！ I love the Conan Needs a Friend Podcast so this book was a no brainer。 I love Sona on the show and the relationship between her and Conan。 This was a highly entertaining listen。 I giggled the whole book。 Honestly this book is as close to how I feel I would write a book。 Or at least reminds me of attempts I have made to write。 What a life she has led and side by side to one of the funniest humans to exist。 Conan and Sonas banter is usual Thanks first to PRHAudio for this complimentary audiobook！！ I love the Conan Needs a Friend Podcast so this book was a no brainer。 I love Sona on the show and the relationship between her and Conan。 This was a highly entertaining listen。 I giggled the whole book。 Honestly this book is as close to how I feel I would write a book。 Or at least reminds me of attempts I have made to write。 What a life she has led and side by side to one of the funniest humans to exist。 Conan and Sonas banter is usually my favorite part of the podcast。 This book is basically that for 6 hours :） 。。。more

This book is insulting to Conan's fans who work for a living。 Sona's reckless incompetence is not funny。 As one of Conan's original fans from 1993， I find this lady's spoiled attitude & willful neglect a reason to stop supporting Conan entirely。 I'm not sure why Conan spoils her。 It looks like she's exploiting him。 I can validate the claim， she's a bad assistant。 I wrote to her in 2019。 She did nothing。 She does nothing。 It really pissed me off。 Why should the public support her？ Conan has enoug This book is insulting to Conan's fans who work for a living。 Sona's reckless incompetence is not funny。 As one of Conan's original fans from 1993， I find this lady's spoiled attitude & willful neglect a reason to stop supporting Conan entirely。 I'm not sure why Conan spoils her。 It looks like she's exploiting him。 I can validate the claim， she's a bad assistant。 I wrote to her in 2019。 She did nothing。 She does nothing。 It really pissed me off。 Why should the public support her？ Conan has enough money to pay someone to be bad at their job which means he doesn't need fans anymore。 Thanks for letting us know。 We should all be so pampered expecting the public to pay our bills while riding a man's coattails。 。。。more

See the full review （with gifs！） on my dumb waste-of-a-time review blog here。 Sona Movsesian is the first to admit she isn’t great at her job。 Which is a bit of a problem when you’re the assistant to comedy legend Conan O’Brien。 Sona is a boss who doesn’t give a single fuck。 But she didn’t start out that way。 She came into her job as Conan’s assistant as someone eager to do a good job。 But， like so many of us， as the years passed， she got comfortable in her job。 Comfortable enough to no longer g See the full review （with gifs！） on my dumb waste-of-a-time review blog here。 Sona Movsesian is the first to admit she isn’t great at her job。 Which is a bit of a problem when you’re the assistant to comedy legend Conan O’Brien。 Sona is a boss who doesn’t give a single fuck。 But she didn’t start out that way。 She came into her job as Conan’s assistant as someone eager to do a good job。 But， like so many of us， as the years passed， she got comfortable in her job。 Comfortable enough to no longer give a shit。In all， The World’s Worst Assistant was an absolute joy to read。 Sona’s writing is uproariously funny and her stories are incredibly relatable， especially if you （like me） have ever been an admin or someone’s assistant。 The only criticism I can think of is that if you come into this book blind， you will have no idea what is going on。 You have to be familiar with Conan O’Brien， his shows and his podcast to know a lot of what Sona is talking about - as a lifelong fan， I loved it。 However， if you are like “Conan O’Who now？” then you’re probably not going to be too geared up to read a book by his assistant， even if it is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time。 。。。。。。KEDAKAI！AS GOD MADE HER。 。。。more

As a fan of the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast， I enjoyed getting to know Sona a little more。 However， with a title like World's Worst Assistant， I was expecting it to be a little punchier-- both in jokes and shared anecdotes， though I enjoyed most of what I read。 As a fan of the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast， I enjoyed getting to know Sona a little more。 However， with a title like World's Worst Assistant， I was expecting it to be a little punchier-- both in jokes and shared anecdotes， though I enjoyed most of what I read。 。。。more

I am a huge fan of Conan and have come to love Sona， too。 I was so excited when I saw this book， and it didn't disappoint。 While the writing is a bit clunky， the story is told tenderly and honestly。 I have been a fan of Conan's for a long time， and it sounds like he is exactly the human I expected and hoped he would be。 Sona's care for her boss， and her appreciation for the experiences she's had because of him shine through。 It was a fun， quick read。 Thank you to NetGalley for a galley copy of t I am a huge fan of Conan and have come to love Sona， too。 I was so excited when I saw this book， and it didn't disappoint。 While the writing is a bit clunky， the story is told tenderly and honestly。 I have been a fan of Conan's for a long time， and it sounds like he is exactly the human I expected and hoped he would be。 Sona's care for her boss， and her appreciation for the experiences she's had because of him shine through。 It was a fun， quick read。 Thank you to NetGalley for a galley copy of this book。。 My opinions are my own。 。。。more

Sona Movsesian has been Conan O'Brien's assistant for years and in this book she recounts how she got the job and more importantly， how she keeps the job。。。。 keeping the job while not exactly being the typical employee。 But what she is is loyal and funny。 Work life for Sona includes sleeping on Conan's work couch during meetings， eating edibles for lunch， to having her boss Conan overhearing her speaking to her grandmother in Armenian which Conan said sound like she was arguing with Dracula。 Son Sona Movsesian has been Conan O'Brien's assistant for years and in this book she recounts how she got the job and more importantly， how she keeps the job。。。。 keeping the job while not exactly being the typical employee。 But what she is is loyal and funny。 Work life for Sona includes sleeping on Conan's work couch during meetings， eating edibles for lunch， to having her boss Conan overhearing her speaking to her grandmother in Armenian which Conan said sound like she was arguing with Dracula。 Sona is funny and the perfect partner to Conan's world of intellectual humor。 Funny book with a side of outrageousness Think George Costanza。* I read an advance copy and was not compensated。 。。。more
