Who's Publishing What: The World's Worst Mom

The World's Worst Mom

Sona Movsesian wrote the New York Times bestseller, The World’s Worst Assistant. Is it any surprise the title of her sequel is The World’s Worst Mom?

Set for release Sept. 1, The World's Worst Mom (Penguin Random House) is an irreverent look at the expectations vs. reality of parenthood. Movsesian regales her fans with humorous stories from the trenches and shows mothers a way to laugh through the chaos.

Movsesian is a former executive assistant turned author, podcaster and media personality. She began as Conan O’Brien’s personal assistant in 2009, and was featured on his show on many occasions, including a televised trip she took to Armenia with O’Brien for his Conan Without Borders travel series. Today, she co-hosts the popular podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and twin sons.

In 2026, she served as a keynoter at the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop.
