Is being Conan O'Brien's sidekick more chaotic than motherhood?
from Afternoons
Conan O'Brien may have just hosted the Oscars, but the award for best sidekick in a reality checking role belongs to his longtime assistant turned podcast co-host, Sona Movsesian. She never hesitates to remind him that even if he is a comedy legend, he's still the guy who has to ask her where his phone is. On Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, Movsesian brings her trademark mix of curiosity, impatience, and unfiltered honesty often cutting through Conan's antics. Now she's channeling that same sharp humor into motherhood. In a new book out later this year, she writes about raising twin boys and realizing that parenting may be even more chaotic than working for Conan.
