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. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Fri... more

  • We love Sona

    To all the people saying that Sona “ruins the show”, chill out. Imagine the podcast without Sona, it just wouldn’t be the same. Please, just go get a life. We love you Sona.

  • Love Conan- Can’t stand Sona

    Conan is great… I will always be team Coco, but he really just needs to stick to having Sona as his assistant… although she doesn’t sound like she’s a very good assistant… perhaps she would better serve as an acquaintance. On the podcast, she forgets that Conan is the star of the show. She steps on everything he says. She talks over him. She has a sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy and she has no impulse control. She always takes everything way too far and gets way too vulgar and just plain gro... more

  • Conan is awesome the show not so much

    Yet again like I’ve said it’s not a good idea to throw money at a name to have a show for financial reasons and marketing. Conan works as a talk show host not a podcaster as much. There are phenomenal podcasters who nobody heard of before podcasting who couldn’t shine Conan’s shoes as a tv host.
