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。

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
