O’Brien felt he lacked a deeper connection with his celebrity guests, so he decided to create the long-form comedy interview podcast as a way to get to know them in a more casual setting. In the pilot episode of the podcast, O’Brien and Ferrell reminisce about their favorite Late Night sketches, such as the time that Will Ferrell practiced his standup, while Will Ferrell with a mustache heckled himself from the audience. One of the best episodes of the podcast, as voted by Podchaser users, is episode 15, a conversation with Jurassic Park (1997) actor Jeff Goldblum. O’Brien introduces Sona Movsesian and producer Matt Gourley as his “handlers” for the episode, and asks them to pull him back from the deep end if he gets too excited. While O’Brien leads the interviews with occasional commentary from Movsesian and Gourley, O’Brien, Movsesian, and Gourley close each episode by riffing off one another.

Conan O’Brien was impressed with her humor and bubbly personality. He immediately dubbed her his executive assistant, a position which she has held faithfully for a decade. The two began a close friendship that has been showcased on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and in their podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

The pair was asked by Movsesian’s grandmother to meet with an Armenian matchmaker to find a husband for Movsesian. While Sona Movsesian and Conan O’Brien did visit the matchmaker, Movsesian needed no help finding her happily ever after.
