Publisher's 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, 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 forward from Conan O’Brien, The World’s Worst Assistant is 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 this audiobook, 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 listeners 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.
Critic Reviews
"[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

HUGE fan of Conan and now Sona
I love how honest the book is. I must admit I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started listening to the audiobook. But I found myself laughing, getting teary-eyed listening to her trip to Armenia and her yiayia, and taking notes on how not to stress out too much at work. It's light-hearted, unapologetic, and authentic. Thanks Sona!

Worlds worst assistant writes a great book
Sona is an absolute treasure. Her relationship with Conan O'Brien is depicted throughout this book but it is not his humour that makes this a great read. It's obvious that Sona isn't funny because Conan hired her, she was hired because she was funny and is probably more talent than assistant.
