If you’re a fan of Conan O’Brien, then you definitely know her voice and you’ve become a fan of @sonamov
She went from being Conan’s longtime assistant to now co-hosting one of the biggest podcasts out there—
and becoming a New York Times bestselling author.
Her first book, The World’s Worst Assistant, gave us a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at her life and career and now she’s back with her new book, The World’s Worst Mom, which drops this September. It dives into motherhood, chaos and everything in between.

"Our anxiety, our lack of confidence, our self-doubt and everything else we view as weaknesses are in fact our biggest strengths, because they’re relatable. If we can't relate, what's the point?” asked New York Times bestselling author and podcaster Sona Movsesian during a keynote talk at the spring workshop.

“I was shocked to find out this city is the birthplace of aviation because when I was looking at flights to get here from Los Angeles, everything had about six connections. Who knew the birthplace of aviation would be so hard to fly to?” quipped keynoter Sona Movsesian, co-host of the podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” at the University of Dayton’s Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop.

Sona Movsesian regaled us with hilarious stories about working closely with Conan O'Brien, first as his assistant, then as co-host of the podcast "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," during her keynote talk at the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop.
"He said he hired me because he was out for a walk and I jumped out from behind a bush like a feral animal and he took me under his wing and domesticated me," said the New York Times' bestselling author of The World's Worst Assistant.
Then she turned serious. "In an era where images, text, lifestyles and everything else we see feels manufactured, either because it’s heavily curated or artificially generated, the most valuable commodity we have as humans are our follies. Our anxiety, our lack of confidence, our self-doubt and everything else we view as weaknesses are in fact our biggest strengths, because they’re relatable. If we can’t relate, then what’s the point?" #ebww2026
