In a recent episode of the talk show Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, the host himself, Conan O’Brien, and his assistant Sona engaged in some lively banter about their siblings. The conversation took a hilarious turn as they shared amusing anecdotes about their family members.
Conan began by mentioning his three-year-old daughter’s visit to the office building where the show is filmed. He jokingly said that she can never return without his permission, as kids love the office for its candy and treats. Sona then chimed in, explaining that her daughter, Glenn, brought along a Minnie Mouse doll that appeared to be in bondage. The doll’s portrayal amused them, as it seemed like a case of “frontier justice” for Minnie Mouse.
The discussion then turned to the control that Disney has over its dolls, particularly after they are sold. Conan wondered if one could take a Disney doll out for drinks or even light it on fire, to which Sona laughed and confirmed that Disney does not have any say in what people do with their purchased dolls.
The conversation continued with Conan asking Sona if she treats her stuffed Goofy like an actual person when they go out for drinks. Sona shared that she would play along and even surreptitiously drink Goofy’s drink, making it appear as though Goofy was drinking. They amusingly imagined someone walking by and seeing Sona interacting with Goofy as if it were a real person.
Conan then brought up a bizarre incident involving his sisters when they were younger. He revealed that one of his sisters mysteriously cut off the hair of three dolls and wrote her own name backward on the doll’s skulls. This chilling act sparked a discussion about how dolls can sometimes become crime scenes, with the siblings acting out scenarios in their imaginative play.
The conversation took a detour as Conan recalled how Sona‘s brother, Danny, used to bully him when they were younger. Conan playfully suggested that he could take Danny by surprise and attempt to fight him, to which Sona warned that Conan would inevitably lose. They humorously speculated on whether Conan could win if he were to sucker punch Danny with a weapon, but ultimately concluded that it wouldn’t be worth it.
After this lighthearted banter, Conan and Sona realized that they had spent five entertaining minutes discussing their siblings and decided it was time to start the show. This candid and comedic conversation set the tone for a fun-filled episode.
Fans of Conan O’Brien and the talk show format were treated to an engaging and lively discussion about personal experiences, showcasing the natural camaraderie between Conan and Sona. As always, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend delivered laughter and entertainment to its dedicated viewers.
