After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that.

  • Before Sona

    This is a great podcast. Full of fun bits and interviews. I look forward to every episode. I even listen to Andy’s podcast, which is also really, really good. I do have a question, though. Who was your assistant before Sona? It’s my understanding that she only became your assistant when you moved to L.A. So, who was your assistant when had your show in New York? And what became of them? Are they alive, in a mental hospital, locked behind bars for murder?

    I’m a pharmacist, so I usually have Conan, Sona, and Matt in my ear while I’m at work talking to patients. It’s like having three unhinged coworkers who won’t stop talking about meat flutes. My wife thinks I’m obsessed because I come home and recount what you guys talked about like it’s breaking news. Hopefully she ... more

    Also Conan isn’t that funny, and actively admits it with every chance he gets.
