The world’s worst assistant Sona Movsesian (Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend) joins the Con-gregation to cover Grigor Sargsyan—the man who paid top pro tennis players to lose on purpose while running the biggest tennis match fixing ring in history. Plus, Sona tells us how she scammed her way into co-hosting Conan’s podcast. Stay schemin’!
