Conan O’Brien recently celebrated 15 years of working together with his assistant, Sona. In a heartwarming discussion on his talk show, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” Conan revealed that he found out he got his job on Sona’s best friend’s birthday 15 years ago. It was this fateful day that started their professional relationship.
The duo reminisced about their initial meeting, where Conan was impressed by Sona’s professionalism and dedication. Sona had taken notes during the interview and even created a helpful book for Conan when he moved to Los Angeles, filled with tips about the city, like driving carefully on the first day of rain and the secret menu at In-N-Out.
However, it didn’t take long for Conan to corrupt Sona with his unique sense of humor and lightheartedness. From then on, their relationship has been filled with playful banter and hilarious moments. Sona’s kids even described it as Conan melting half of her brain and the other half already being melted.
Despite Conan’s quirkiness, Sona has shown incredible resilience and has learned to handle his madness with ease. She is not intimidated by him and allows his comedic tendencies to roll off her back. Conan credits his wife, Liza, for being adept at dealing with his madness and ensuring that it doesn’t affect those around him.
Conan jokingly acknowledged that he has managed to ruin many people’s professional lives, making them unemployable anywhere else. Sona’s co-worker, Eduardo, remains unscathed for now but could potentially be the next victim.
While Sona may sometimes feel the need to have her defenses up around Conan, she has found a way to navigate her position with courage and honesty. She has built an unbreakable bond with Conan and isn’t afraid to confront him when needed.
Conan’s talent and unique personality are undeniable, even though it may sometimes lead him off the rails. Nevertheless, Sona and Eduardo have found ways to deal with his eccentricities.
As Conan and Sona continue their journey together, they prove that their professional relationship is one filled with laughter, understanding, and a deep connection. And as viewers, we are grateful for the entertainment and joy they bring to our screens every week on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show.
