In the "Conan Can't Stop" documentary he did say that when he was doing the tv show he'd make 5 shows a week for Sona and 1 show a week for the audience.
I finally understand why Conan has kept sona all these years despite her job performance - she laugh at every single joke of his genuinely which he absolutely loves.
@@Vendrix86 it's just a shtic. I'm confident she would have been let go if she's indeed as bad as they let us believe. Wouldn't you agree? Would Conan really keep an underperforming employee for so many years!?
@@divisiona3974 just because they laugh when they say it doesn't mean it's just a shtic...learn how to read between the lines. You've never heard of a serious joke or half-jokes before? Nothing new... Sona always argues back to what Conan says if she disagrees with something but the fact that she has never corrected him on her work performance speaks volumes. This is the biggest indicator. I don't think she was bad enough to be atrocious but certainly not good enough to win any awards. The feeling you get when watching them is she is just ok or serviceable but not good or great. And yeah Conan would absolutely keep an underperforming (to a degree) employee if their other qualities made up for it in his mind.
Sona belly laughing is one of the most wonderful, heartwarming sounds ever. Conan knows this. When he saw what his bit was doing, he gave us exactly what we wanted!
Yes and he's always looking at his right at Sona for her massive approval! That's why he never fires her! He must have askewed spine to te right by now! I suffocated with laughter several times like Sona! I can't believe how Gourley can sit there just emotionless?!
No the podcast wouldn't be successful if it was just for Sona. Otherwise they wouldn't be recording it and putting it on youtube. The idea is to create a show for a broad audience.
My brother recently broke his elbow. I will now tell him to stop going to the physical therapist and to just listen to Sona laughing. I suppose it's worth a shot.
Its over the top and fake. She does it so she can keep her paycheck. Shes always been a grifter begging for free cars and homes and now getting her paycheck for sitting there laughing at unfunny things
You can see Conan's reason for being funny on full display here. Clearly something amazing to come out for a desperate need for attention haha. As soon as even one person liked this bit he literally couldnt stop.
For real though. I have a friend like sona. I always have the best time with her. She fills my life with laughter i fill her time with stupid made up stories
There’s a very deep desire and huge satisfaction for all comedians to bring a person or audience to complete laughter after a joke . Not just laughter but deep laughter . It’s a sweet spot and when it hits , the comedians need to keep it there , keep it going for as long as possible , is the most satisfying “zone” for a comedian to be in … that zone is usually fragile , hard to keep going and going . The satisfaction of Sona keeping Conan in this zone for such long periods of time would be absolute bliss for Conan. You can see his just wanting to hang on and stay in this zone and everything just hits with Sona and Conan goes again and again . Seinfeld talks about this zone , but you really see it here with Conan and Sona .
I think the Uber driver who came up to Sona's apartment to "check out the sofa [she's] trying to get rid of" may have been looking for more than a sofa.
As long as Sona keeps laughing, Conan will keep the bit going, lol. He knew it had gone on long enough but she was still laughing so he just couldn’t quit. 🤣
Just when you think he has used up every ounce of the bit, he keeps it going... "Reading US magazine, oh, they broke up? They seemed like such a nice couple." He is the master of improv. I've heard this three times now and I still bust a gut laughing.
This is Precisely why Conan was so AWESOME at late night TV, ....because his wit is so quick, razor sharp and funny AF! He can just go on & on & on being hilarious, and his humor runs the gamut from very intelligent to very silly.
I think it's important for every level of celebrity to have moments of not being recognized throughout their careers to keep them grounded and remind them that they truly are regular people to other regular people.
I've recognized a famous guy at a bar once, a main actor in the CSI series. Threw back some shots with him, the entire time pretending to not know who he was. I feel like not everybody needs to act like a fanboy/fangirl. Just enjoy life lol
I met a local celebrity once in a bar, and I'd recently seen him on a TV interview, in which he said that he didn't like when people acted like they didn't recognize him, so I was like: "Hey everybody, look who we have here! It's (celebrity's name)!!" I'm glad that he could take the joke, as I repeated it another three times over the following years - we happened to live in the same town. So yeah: careful what you wish for.
I think he takes Uber because he genuinely enjoys people. You can see it in his remotes. He enjoys meeting people. And a lot of Uber and Lyft drivers in So Cal are immigrants. I also enjoy hearing their stories and learning about new places to eat at locally that I wouldn't necessarily have found otherwise. My last driver was from Egypt and he was telling us that he really enjoyed So Cal but he really missed his family. He couldn't leave the country while his permanent residency ("green card") was being processed.
Conan has said many times that he enjoyes interviewing celebs, but his favorite is just talking to a normal person, or a fan. He loves getting a glimpse of someone elses life, and that undying curiousity keeps it refreshing.
Jack Nicholson actually is pretty approachable, or was over the years. I seen video someone made in the eighties while filming witches of eastwick, where for several days in a town, he walked around talking to local people, if they came up to him, like he was just one of them. But like the golf club incident, if he does punch someone, they probably will consider it like an autograph.
This clip is unique because I think Conan had Sona laughing for almost the entire segment! 🤣 Her laugh is somewhat contagious and definitely makes one smile 😀 And, I have to admit he had me laughing through the whole impromptu Russian chef bit, too! Just working that creative comic free flow!
It's because of the "Law of Conservation of Ninjitsu". There can only be so much ninjitsu in any situation, that's why when there's a bunch of ninjas they always lose because they have to share the ninjitsu
★★★★"a very OLD WEAK butterfly punched me..." + "Ninjas cut a little hole so they can smoke e-cigarettes..." -- Conan was on fire with these tangents today. Had me laughing like Sona.
As a chef, most of the stuff I make I like, but I also make stuff I don’t like all the time. For example, I’m not a fan of but I’m great at shucking them, I know what good ones look, taste and smell like and I also enjoy the easy money they make us. I can eat one and instantly determine whether it’s fresh and high quality before recoiling from the awful flavor. Also, as Conan’s going on, lots of chefs or restaurant owners don’t really like food much. It’s a good way to be your own boss and a lot of chefs I knew loved the lifestyle of hard partying and loads of drugs.
I'm an Uber Driver full time right now. I have driven on and off for 7 years with over 5 thousand trips. I have picked up people from all walks of life, from all different cultures. In all my years of driving - I have concluded that as different, we as humans try and have individualism - we all share the same story, just told in different ways. As hard as we try as a society to distance ourselves, we are not that different after all.
Conan deconstructing his own bit in a 2 minute improv tangent where he plays both characters is the most Conan thing ever
It combines three characteristics of Conan’s comedic sensibilities when on a tear: silly, chaotic, and relentless
It's lame when someone comments what happened
@@zzzzzz3708 even lamer when someone feels the need to comment on that comment 😁
I enjoy a nice relatable recap in the comments@@zzzzzz3708
Ya, he's a very funny dude.
Coman literally did the whole segment to get Sonas laughs lol. He is like a hunter when the animal hes hunting is injured. He goes for the kill!
Their relationship really is like the one Howard Stern has with Robin Quivers: instant audience feedback to know they are on to something good.
In the "Conan Can't Stop" documentary he did say that when he was doing the tv show he'd make 5 shows a week for Sona and 1 show a week for the audience.
@@ChaosZero. aww 🥺❤
I love Comam
Mindhunter season 3 Coman strikes again
Sona laughing just encourages Conan to keep going. It's adorable.
I finally understand why Conan has kept sona all these years despite her job performance - she laugh at every single joke of his genuinely which he absolutely loves.
Yes exactly
I think Sona actually killed it as his assistant. She's just good at prioritising...
@@divisiona3974 the many times both have said how bad she is at her job says otherwise but agree to disagree...

@@sstills951 lol shut up
Sona's laugh is the best therapy.
So true
she's hilarious ❤
Shes great at her job I'd rather see Jordan.
My brother recently broke his elbow. I will now tell him to stop going to the physical therapist and to just listen to Sona laughing. I suppose it's worth a shot.
Sure, if you laugh at everything anything anyone ever says. Sure. She's annoying.
Sona's unbridled laughter still fresh even after all of the years with Conan is beautiful!
She's f'n annoying as F.
It's usually Conan's cue to go full on on the improv or whatever he's doing
Its over the top and fake. She does it so she can keep her paycheck. Shes always been a grifter begging for free cars and homes and now getting her paycheck for sitting there laughing at unfunny things
@@billysonlinesurveychannel8247 Then don't watch/listen.
@@billysonlinesurveychannel8247damn who hurt you lil bro
The spontaneity of Conan is unmatched.
Texan macaroni burnt over Afghan tire fires.
How's that for spontaneity?
indeed
I love Sona's laughing fits. Such a great moment in the podcast when she lets go.
Not. Conan the Barbarian and Sona the Annoying.
@@jwc1977hater
When Conan gets Sona to laugh, he can't stop pumping the jokes and then Sona would just die of laughter. I love it.
No one on this planet makes me laugh as hard and as much as Conan does. This clip was nonstop giggles for me. 10/10
That's just because you haven't met me yet.
Ya, he's great for sure.
Sona's the biggest hypewoman, we all need a Sona in our lives
Conan's impression of a chef sounds like me when I'm depressed but still have to cook for people.
I noticed everytime Conan start a bit that makes Sona laugh a lot he just keep going and going because he seek her laugher.
You can see Conan's reason for being funny on full display here. Clearly something amazing to come out for a desperate need for attention haha. As soon as even one person liked this bit he literally couldnt stop.

Don't tell me what I can see.
THE SOLO NYC SIRIUS SHOWS ARE MISSING THIS 3 X ENERGY
"desperate need for attention" not everything comes from some deep seethed issue bro, people can be just normally funny
@@jaydeepbose4501 to be fair, Conan would 100% say the exact same thing about himself
Sona’s laughing is therapeutic.
"Conan you're losing your peripheral vision?", "Yeah I was struck by lightning"
"I thought a very old butterfly had a stroke and then a cool wind blew it against my cheek".
The genius.
There’s a very deep desire and huge satisfaction for all comedians to bring a person or audience to complete laughter after a joke . Not just laughter but deep laughter .

Sona's laugh must be like cocaine to Conan
Every bit that Conan does, I automatically imagine it as a Simpsons gag lol This ninja gag would fit in so perfectly in classic Simpsons.
The more Sona laughs, the more it fuels Conan to prolong his bits.
I think the Uber driver who came up to Sona's apartment to "check out the sofa [she's] trying to get rid of" may have been looking for more than a sofa.
I hear ya. Probably a coffee table.
I love, love, love,❤❤❤❤ Sona. She needs to star in her own sitcom. Conan could be in it, playing her assistant.
Sona's laughing is the highlight of my day🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is it possible for Conan to keep getting FUNNIER with age? Seriously, every year I laugh harder and harder. This is priceless!🤣
As long as Sona keeps laughing, Conan will keep the bit going, lol. He knew it had gone on long enough but she was still laughing so he just couldn’t quit. 🤣
I like this idea of the ninjas getting a John Wick-like notification that Conan can't see them anymore.
Just when you think he has used up every ounce of the bit, he keeps it going... "Reading US magazine, oh, they broke up? They seemed like such a nice couple." He is the master of improv. I've heard this three times now and I still bust a gut laughing.
The accent Conan did for the chef character was almost perfectly Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Sonna, Her laugh is definitely contagious.
and fake. Let's see her laugh this much if the same exact joke was told by Aaaron or someone else like the redheaded guy who played conan's successor
Only Conan can get up with this stuff lol. Sona absolutely makes the podcast!!
starting the day with these 3 is awesome especially Sona's laugh
Amazing how Sona still finds Conan that funny after all those years 😂
Conan’s impression of a chef is Steve Carell’s impression of Gru
I love Conan's mind. He is so hilarious!
Matt is going to upgrade his handwritten Wrap sign to a neon LED one with strobe lights. Which Conan will still ignore.
This is Precisely why Conan was so AWESOME at late night TV, ....because his wit is so quick, razor sharp and funny AF! He can just go on & on & on being hilarious, and his humor runs the gamut from very intelligent to very silly.
Conan's one of a kind. I love this podcast. That spontaneous chef struck by lightning bit ... 😂
Watching and listening to this clip for the first time, I immediately rolled back the first 2 minutes and watched again. 😂
Bro I’m telling you, Conan is gonna kill Sona one day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think he's trying to make her wet herself from laughing.
He’ll never kill her. He feeds on her laugh like a vampire..ninja of some sort
Not if she kills him first. She fully admitted she's been slowly poisoning him with his food.
It must nice to be sitting in that room..listening watching Conan go on with his endless bits😊
sona cracking up is so adorable every time
Hearing Sona laughing is right up there with hearing birds chirping in the morning. It's beautiful to hear
I think it's important for every level of celebrity to have moments of not being recognized throughout their careers to keep them grounded and remind them that they truly are regular people to other regular people.
Why Conan can never let Sona go….🤣🤣🤣🤣 she’s got the laugh for the world!
Only Conan can think of Ninjas reading US Weekly smoking E Cigarettes waiting for Conan’s peripheral vision to go lol
I've recognized a famous guy at a bar once, a main actor in the CSI series. Threw back some shots with him, the entire time pretending to not know who he was. I feel like not everybody needs to act like a fanboy/fangirl. Just enjoy life lol

Yeah I would never fangirl someone
The energy at the beginning is so wonderfully bizarre
Holy crap this was one of the funniest ones yet, and I'm a Conan addict. Conan was on a full roll and couldn't be stopped!
Conan's riffing, Sonas laughter and Goleys tolerance of the insanity are absolute treasures, and must be protected at all costs.😂
I needed Sona’s laugh today
Is it just me or is it kinda cool that he just casually takes Uber?
You don't know for sure that it was casual.
@@sstills951so it's okay that he still took uber then but just not casual? He still took an uber when he's like a millionaire

Conan now has a podcast that doesn't film/air at night but somehow is still the best late night talk show host.
Biggest fan from Croatia here Conez. Don't worry...i know who you are.

This is just Triumphh the Insult Comic Dog as a chef
"It's called a toque" - best intro ever, LMAO😂
