Take three.
Sona in, Sona's in.
Oops, okay.
There's no paparazzi here.
Did everyone see me.
There's no paparazzi here.
Now which one is this, this is interns?
Yes, we're just showing a section.
Oh, thanks friend.
Ugh.
Why do you hate friendship?
It doesn't, I don't have any.
(upbeat music)
Hey, Conan O'Brien here, welcome to another edition
of behind the nonsense,
where we try to get behind the scenes of some of the,
well things we've done on the Conan show over the years.
Today we're gonna be joined by my assistant,
my friend I think.
Hey.
Okay, no touching.
Sona Movsesian.
Sona, first of all, how are you feeling,
I know you're very, very pregnant with twins.
I feel fine.
I don't.
I don't feel fine.
You don't feel fine?
No, I just don't feel great.
I don't know.
Then why'd you say I feel fine?
I don't know, 'cause I feel like I should.
Yeah.
Well it's TV, you're supposed to kind of lie a little bit.
Okay, I feel great.
Well glad you feel so terrific.
The important thing, Sona, is that we're here
to talk about our dynamic and there are people
that think sometimes that maybe we put a little English
on the ball, maybe some of what they're seeing on TV
is kind of a performance.
I do not think that's the case at all.
I think this remote we're about to show
demonstrates pretty much exactly what our relationship is.
Okay.
This is a time when I tried to get to know the interns.
Yeah.
I started talking to them,
and we had a happy accident.
I didn't know what was gonna happen when I was talking
to the interns, just started chatting with them,
one of them reveals some information,
I follow that trail where it leads,
and it was a jackpot.
Jackpot all the way, let's take a look.
Then we'll discuss.
(upbeat music)
Evan.
Yes sir.
You know why I remember Evan?
Nametag?
It's not just the nametag,
although that's helping.
Evan's enthusiasm feeds me.
I also got your lunch today.
You got my lunch today?
Yeah.
I didn't eat lunch today.
Oh, well.
How did you get my lunch
if you didn't eat lunch today?
They told me to go get the boss man's lunch.
Who told you to get Conan's lunch?
Uh.
Give me a name.
Nick.
Who's Nick?
What's Nick?
What's a Nick?
Evan was told today to go get Conan's lunch.
Absolutely.
I did that.
But Conan didn't eat lunch.
Conan didn't even order lunch.
I spoke with Sona.
Sona.
Sona, we ran into a little bit of a snafu here.
Evan said hey, I got your lunch today.
I said, that's not possible.
I didn't order lunch today.
Sometimes in order to get things done quickly
for me, I might use your name to like light a fire
under them.
What else are you doing for yourself
when you use my name?
Go ahead.
I'd rather not say this.
Please say it.
I once went to a bar
and drank too much and couldn't drive home,
so I sent interns the next day,
this was a long time ago, to pick the car up,
and I may have said that I needed them to pick your car up.
I gotta go.
She just walked away.
She walked away.
There's people out there that think Conan O'Brien
had too much to drink and couldn't get his car.
What rumors have you heard about me?
I'm really glad we saw that.
Did you know when I called you why you were being called,
I don't think you knew.
No, I didn't,
I thought you were just shooting a remote with the interns.
Yeah, yeah,
so then I confront you, and I'm gonna give you
major credit here.
One of your strengths, and probably your weakness,
is that you always tell the truth.
Yes.
You always tell the truth,
so I asked you and you can see on camera
you go, oh boy, all right, well here's the truth.
Yeah.
And then you tell me that half the valets
in town think I'm an alcoholic.
And that I drive a Jetta, an old Jetta.
You don't have to say it with such disdain.
No, I love, hey Volkswagen, you guys are killing it
and the Jetta's a fine machine in its day,
but oh my god, you did not take good care of that car,
but that's not the point,
let's not go down that cul de sac.
I love that this remote revealed something about you
which is you love to complain about me,
but if you can get a perk in your own life
or a little bit ahead using the Conan magic, you do it.
Did you or did you not, we went to a restaurant once,
you met me at a restaurant,
and you brought your dog to the restaurant,
and I was like, I don't think you can have a dog
in the restaurant and you were holding your dog
and you said, well I made the reservation under your name
and they know I'm with you and that's why I knew
I could bring my dog in.
You used me.
And then I'm the guy who brought the dog
when I didn't bring the dog.
I'd never bring a dog to the restaurant.
What am I, French?
Don't you think I've earned it a little bit though?
Earned what?
Earned using your fame for my benefit.
Come on.
Don't you think I've earned it a little?
Come on.
Well you can't just say, that's not a debating style,
come on.
In my defense, I put up with a lot.
Oh please, a lot.
Yes.
Yeah a wall of talent with red hair.
Okay.
No, I mean I put up with a lot and I think
that sometimes if I wanna bring my dog to a restaurant.
What are you doing?
Bits to distract you, it stopped you.
I did a, and then I went.
This is stupid.
You're a criminal.
You're a criminal who takes advantage of me,
and you were caught in the act right here.
You ordered lunch and you said yeah, Conan
needs his lunch right now and then you probably
ordered something you like.
I did.
What did you order that day, do you remember?
No, why would I remember what I ordered that day you shot
an intern remote?
I have no idea, probably a sandwich.
We should.
Does it matter?
We should keep better records.
I have to keep records of my lunches?
Yes, you should keep better records.
What does that even, no, that's silly.
Okay, you're right, I guess.
What did you have for lunch that day?
I didn't get lunch that day.
What do you mean, you probably ate something
that you already had in the office.
No I didn't order lunch that day
and I think a lot of times I did without lunch,
I wanted to suffer during the day
so my audience would feel joy at night.
Anyway.
So Irish sometimes.
Please.
What does that even mean?
I don't know.
That's a slander.
It is, I shouldn't have said that,
but there is something that comes from who you are
and where you come from that makes you very odd.
That's all I'm saying.
Odd in what way?
Odd in what you just said,
how you make yourself suffer so that your audience
can have joy.
Yes.
Who says that?
That's weird.
True artists say that.
Don't say true artists.
Why not?
I think what I do is art.
Do you disagree?
You do?
Yes, I'm here with interns finding out who took my lunch.
Who's to say that what Rafael or Jocko did
is finer than what I did?
Oh.
Well anyway there you have it.
Another glimpse behind the nonsense.
Sona, we love you.
You know that, right?
Oh, I love you too.
I'll have that part cut out.
Don't touch me.
Oh, okay.
(upbeat music)
Are the babies kicking right now?
They're probably.
They are, they're moving.
I saw that, they're like struggling to get out
and say Conan's right, Conan's right.
They're not gonna say that.
Will they be Conan fans, these two fellas?
You know what, yeah, I think they will.
Good.
