À propos de cet audio
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.

Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations - with a side trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him - it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Featuring humorous tangents, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic tale told by a determined idiot.

From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something.

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

If there’s one trait that makes someone well-suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch - metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy - with a face you can’t help but want to punch.

Most people think of themselves as “good", but it’s not always easy to determine what’s “good” or “bad” - especially in a world filled with complicated choices and pitfalls and booby traps and bad advice. Fortunately, many smart philosophers have been pondering this conundrum for millennia, and they have guidance for us. With bright wit and deep insight, How to Be Perfect explains concepts like deontology, utilitarianism, existentialism, ubuntu, and more, so we can sound cool at parties and become better people.

Tom Segura is known for his twisted takes and irreverent comedic voice. But after a few years of crazy tours and churning out podcasts weekly, all while parenting two young children, he desperately needs a second to himself. It’s not that he hates his friends and family — he’s not a monster — he’s just beat, which is why his son’s (ruthless) first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has since become his mantra.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"[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

Awesome fun listen.
This is a great entertaining book read by the author. She made me laugh out loud a number of times when listening by myself. It’s an entertaining fun book of stories that really capture what I believe to be Sona’s personality.

Incredible
I'm really glad I listened to this one instead of read the physical copy, there is really something extra to be had when a book like this is read by the author. I'm a huge fan of both Sona and Conan, but you really don't need to be to appreciate this book. It was well written, touching, witty and down right hilarious. There really is something to be said about not losing yourself in a job and making sure you are treated respectfully. So many in her field are not. Loved listening to the details of their working and personal relationship, it's very endearing. Highly recommended!

This made me love Sona even more, and it surprisingly gave me a lot of sympathy for Conan. I feel re-listening to episodes of the podcast are going to give me a whole new perspective. Would highly recommend for CONAF fans (or COBNAF if you prefer, Conan).

I enjoyed this book and found myself wanting to back Conan up on his advice about Sona’s past boyfriends! So glad she ended up with a winner instead of 7/11 guy.
Actually drew stares at the park from laughing out loud!

I love when people narrate their own memoir. It feels like a friend spending the day with you and letting you in their life. I liked Sona on the podcast before I listened to this audio book but now I love her like a friend. <3

Fun Lighthearted Listen
Don't get this book if you're just looking for Conan stories, since the stories are (rightfully) about Sona, her life, and her take on being Conan's assistant over the years. I found it a very enjoyable listen with some "laugh out loud" moments. It reminds me a lot of Sona's contributions to the "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" podcast, so if you enjoy that you very well may enjoy this book.
