ReviewsPraise for The World's Worst Assistant "[Sona's] narrative offers a refreshing departure from the traditional assistant horror stories of pleasing a tyrant boss.... Brimming with heart and humor, this story of failing upward is a hoot."-- Publishers Weekly, Praise for The World's Worst Assistant "Movsesian endearingly pulls her...comedic weight in this narrative.... Movsesian truly shines when she discusses her Armenian heritage, her dating life, and winning a college national speech championship. Conan O'Brien fans will find much to love here."-- Library Journal (starred) "[Sona's] narrative offers a refreshing departure from the traditional assistant horror stories of pleasing a tyrant boss.... Brimming with heart and humor, this story of failing upward is a hoot."-- Publishers Weekly "Playfully surreal reading about the comedy of human foibles."-- Kirkus
Synopsis***An Instant New York Time s Bestselle r*** A Goodreads Choice Nominee for Best Humor Book One of Vulture 's Best Comedy Books of 2022 One of Business Insider 's Best Books About Celebrities One of NPR 's Books We Love in 2022 One of Hudson's Best Books of 2022 One of Audible's Best of Audiobooks of 2022 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, spilling her trade secrets for minimizing effort while maximizing the rewards. 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 foreword 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., Sona Movsesian is Conan O'Brien's assistant of twelve years. Conan and Sona have a wickedly funny and long running alter ego bit - Sona plays the lazy incompetent, Conan the insufferable and oppressive boss. Fans can't seem to get enough of her hilariously relaxed attitude in response to Conan's near manic energy. But Sona 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 long before it descends into sneaking low-dosage edibles into your lunch and napping on your boss's couch. Now, Sona is writing the perfect humor book for her many fans. Part satire based on these beloved alter egos, part memoir that evidences the sincere trust and respect that Conan and Sona have built over their twelve years working together, and populated with hysterical black-and- white illustrations, graphs and more, THE WORLD'S WORST ASSISTANT is completely irresistible fun you'll want to give to every assistant in your life. In it, Sona will reveal all her trade secrets on how she became simultaneously terrible at her job (think Friends marathons at her desk), an unfireable employee (she has all of Conan's credit card numbers committed to memory), and most importantly, an essential contributing member of the Team Coco humor machine.
