We fell in love with Sona the first time we saw her in the "Conan talks to interns" skit... The way she just.. walked away was just so awesome cause that is not how that dynamic is suppose to go.

The chemistry conan has with his staff one of the several reasons he’s my favorite of the late night talk show hosts of his era

@FablestoneSeries Жыл бұрын

He has taken pay cuts on numerous occasions to support his staff during tough times, like the pandemic, and he is too modest and gentlemanly to brag about it, but i will never understand why his staff doesn't sing his praises. We hear about how Ellen hung her staff out to dry the moment the pandemic started. He's the anti-Ellen. I don't understand why more people don't celebrate that. Unless he's given them instructions not to?

I’m almost 42 and I’ve been faithfully watching Conan since I was 12. He’s always been my favorite and he’s my 20 year old daughters favorite because we always watched him together. Now Seth Meyers is emulating a lot of Conan’s characteristics and it’s endearing him to me now as well. He also brings his crew on the show for bits. People are very familiar with the names of his staff like they are/were with Conans. Seth even also paid out of his own pocket for his staff and crew’s salary during Covid when they were doing shows from home and NBC were not paying them cause obviously they all weren’t needed for home shows. Seth won’t discuss it when asked about it. He says it’s personal between his staff and he. He’s become my second favorite because of these things. His humor is different to Conans but he’s a good person and that endears me. He also brings his parents and brother (Josh Meyers) on too and they are hilarious!

It genuinely blows me away how humble and un-Hollywood of a person Conan is. Out of all of his bits, episodes, monologues, travel shows, etc. my favorite things have always been anything Conan does with his staff.

After decades of dealing with fake, stuck-up people in the entertainment industry, Conan met Sona, and Sona is refreshingly real. I think Conan took notice to that, and blessed her with all the good things that come along with her position. Congrats Sona, I’ll buy a copy ✅

Too right. Conan has been doing his talk show gig since he was a kid, it’s always been his dream. He’s still that goofy kid he used to be he hasn’t changed. Conan and his staff are a prime example that there are some real down to earth people in an otherwise uptight industry. ^^

My advice to anyone who is looking for a job is to find a place where you can have a direct relation with the owner, not a supervisor or manager, those people look for their own interest and most likely they are going to take credit for your good ideas or blame you for their failures. Conan was able to recognize talent like any good boss and made sure you had a chance to become better and seeing how many people were able to have careers after his shows is a sign that many of us could do better, sometimes is a matter of a mix of talent and luck.

@davidvondoom2853 Жыл бұрын

Good advice. Middle management is the worst! Find a business owner that will show you the ropes and help you start your own business some day. Better to work for yourself than some talentless supervisor who puts down others, because they can't elevate themselves.
