Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Armenian Connection & Introduction

[01:29 - 02:34]

• Lucy, an Armenian now living in New York, connects with Conan and Sona (who is also Armenian). Playful banter ensues around Armenian cultural connections and stereotypes.
• Lucy jokes about being glad there aren’t many Armenians in New York (“I love my people, but in moderation” – Lucy, 03:12), leading Conan to riff on his own Irish background.

  “I avoid the Irish at all costs, really. A horrible tribe. A horrible tribe.” — Conan (03:21)

2. Lucy’s Path to Jazz Singing

[03:31 - 04:46]

• Lucy shares her journey from studying history to becoming a jazz singer in NYC, taking gig work out of necessity and developing her career over time.
• Briefly mentions starting a cookie business during the COVID pandemic to make ends meet.

3. Discovering Jazz and Learning English via Conan

[04:46 - 06:52]

• Lucy’s early exposure to jazz came from her father's illicit Soviet-era collections, finding American jazz to symbolize hope and the American dream.

• Reveals she learned English almost entirely from watching “Conan,” “Family Guy,” and “Mr. Rogers” after immigrating:

  “I learned English pretty much from Conan, ‘Family Guy,’ and ‘Mr. Rogers.’” — Lucy (05:51)
  “I think people don’t give enough credit to television, especially… late night television where that fourth wall isn’t there… You were talking to me.” — Lucy (06:30)

• Conan is both charmed and horrified:

  “Many times I've had people tell me that... they would learn English from me, which I find kind of horrifying. But I’m also happy. Your English is fantastic, by the way.” — Conan (06:15)

4. Playful Jazz Lesson: Scatting with Conan

[07:12 - 10:10]

• Conan expresses a desire to learn jazz singing, and Lucy explains scat:

  “If you were drunk at a bar and there’s this song you remembered... that’s what scat singing is. You’re just trying to recreate a melody.” — Lucy (07:52)

• They improvise a jazz version of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” with Conan enthusiastically oversinging and Lucy providing gentle feedback:

  “Okay. You got to bring it down.” — Lucy (09:25)
  “Everything I do is wrong.” — Conan (09:46)

5. Jazz Themes and Humor as Release

[13:45 - 16:26]

• Lucy gravitates towards singing “old blues that are about terrible, terrible men,” but likes to use humor to point out life’s problems and bring people together:

  “I like to point out the elephant in the room and then we can all kind of like laugh at it and move forward together.” — Lucy (14:37)

• Discussion of how performing allows saying things you wouldn’t otherwise say—especially when Lucy playfully mocks her saxophonist husband onstage.
• Sona and Conan joke about Conan’s passive-aggressive communication style, with Sona declaring:

  “If there’s a genre of music that’s just being passive aggressive, Conan would be the number one artist.” — Sona (15:53)

6. Lucy’s Struggles and Resilience

[17:05 - 19:02]

• Lucy describes moving to NYC, being broke, getting fired as a Madison Square Garden tour guide (“I got fired because I used to tell them that there used to be a beautiful train station there, and they tore it down to build this” — Lucy, 17:25), and selling her mandolin for emergency dental work.
• She endured further disappointment by losing the prestigious Monk jazz competition, capping her rough patch.

7. Immigrant Experience

[19:16 - 20:15]

• Conan expresses deep respect for immigrants adapting to a new language and culture:

  “It takes an amount of grit and courage that’s awe inspiring. It really is.” — Conan (19:54)

• Lucy reflects on the strangeness and difficulty of emigrating, a sentiment Sona underscores with playful exaggeration about her own “origin story.”

8. Promoting Lucy’s Work & Finale

[22:17 - 23:11]

• More trademark comedy as Conan and Sona riff about relationships and Valentine’s Day.
• Conan closes with sincere appreciation:

  “You’ve given me a lift. And you’re really funny. So thank you very much.” — Conan (23:11)

• Lucy thanks Conan for teaching her English, to which Sona dryly refuses to thank him, sustaining their ongoing, sibling-like banter.

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

• Lucy, on Armenian-American networking:

  “I wanted to make sure that I met you not through Sona, you know, to avoid any kind of nepotism.” (01:42)

• On learning English:

  “I learned English pretty much from Conan, Family Guy, and Mr. Rogers.” — Lucy (05:51)

  “You gotta bring it down.” — Lucy (09:25)
  “I’m drunk!” — Conan (09:31)

• Resilience and grit:

  “It takes an amount of grit and courage. That’s awe inspiring.” — Conan (19:54)

• Sona, in character as Conan’s long-suffering assistant:

  “Is this the story where you said I jumped out of a bush and then you’re like, ‘I’ll domesticate you and teach you English’? Or is this the one where I floated to this country in a basket?” — Sona (20:36)

[Sona Movsesian]

Conan o' Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com call Conan. Okay, let's get started.

[Announcer]

Hi, Lucy. Welcome to Conan o' Brien needs a fan.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Hello, Lucy.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hi, Lucy. How are you?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Hi, Sona. Hi, Conan. I'm great. How are you?

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm guessing you already know Sona, is that right?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I know her, yeah. You know, it's a small world when you're an Armenian. But yeah, you know, but I wanted to make sure that I met you not through Sona, you know, to avoid any kind of nepotism.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah, I just found out today. But also, it's funny, nobody asked her if she knows me because they didn't want to seem like, racist or, you know, act like, oh, you're Armenian, so you must know Sona. But we actually have.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

That's so funny. And I, and I didn't tell them that I knew you, so this is good. This is good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, what is, how do you say your last name, Lucy?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

It's Yeghazarian.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, Gazarian. Okay. And do you live in the same community as Sona?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

No, I live in New York, so there's no.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, you're in New York. Okay, very good, very good.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

There's no Armenians here, which is good. I like it like that.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, yeah, that's great. Not racist at all. I hate Armenians. Those people drive me crazy.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

They do. They do. Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

I'm with you, girl.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, I get street cred because when I get into it sounds, it's just absolutely true. But whenever I take an Uber, I would say. What would you say, Sona? Like, 80% of the time, maybe even more. The driver is Armenian, and he knows that I went to Armenia with Sona, and he's seen clips from the episode, and Sona's taught me enough little bits of Armenian that I can say, hello, how are you? Where's the restroom? And we have a nice. We have a nice ride together.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

It's good. I'm really glad, but I'm really glad my Uber drivers are not Armenian. I mean, I love my people, but in moderation.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, it's too much. I avoid the Irish at all costs, really. A horrible tribe. A horrible tribe. Well, tell me about yourself. What do you do, Lucy?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I'm a jazz singer.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes. Very cool. Yeah, that's great.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Kind of stereotypically as New York as it gets. I know. But when I moved to New York, I came here with a degree in world history, so I was looking for a job with that, and I couldn't find one. And I'd been singing for years and years, and I had to pay the rent. I was so broke, and people kept calling for, you know, restaurant gigs and things like that. So I kind of gave up. And I was like, all right, I guess I'll just continue with the singing thing. And it's been a long, long time now that I'm doing that. So, yeah, I do that. And then during COVID I opened a little cookie business because there was no work and, you know, I needed the money, so I do a little bit of that on the side. But overall, I'm just a singer.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, quick question, Sona. Have you heard Lucy perform?

[Sona Movsesian]

I have, and she is absolute amazing. And I'm not just saying that because I've met her and I know her. She is such an incredible jazz singer. And I'll send you her stuff. I think you should. Definitely.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I'd like to listen to it. Really, really amazing. That's really impressive. And I'm just curious, how did you get into jazz singing? It's so specific. You must have known at an early age, oh, I have a good voice. I have a good control of my voice, and I like this kind of music.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

You know, when. See, I grew up in armenia in the 90s, and we were, you know, everyone was poor, and I think every parent was kind of looking for that thing that their kid could do to get them out. And I think my mom realized, like, oh, I think my kids can sing, sing, sing, so we can get a visa. So it was like that, you know, I know it's so dark, but it's true. That's how it is, you know?

[Conan O'Brien]

Sure, of course.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

But jazz, I don't know. My dad was into it. He had a lot of, like, kind of semi shady friends during the Soviet Union that would get these, like, jazz records that weren't supposed to be in the ussr. So he always had these, you know, random recordings of things. Oftentimes you wouldn't have a cover for it. So you had no idea who was playing it. It was, like, recorded over a Michael Bolton cd, you know, but people weren't sure if it was Ella or Carmen or who. But it. But it was always. To me, it was like it was the sound of America. It's what America sounded like to me. And I was always drawn to it. Even, you know, I didn't speak English when we got here.

[Conan O'Brien]

How did you learn to speak English?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

From you.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, are you serious?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

And I know that's insane. And the reason why I actually submitted to this is because I was talking to somebody and I mentioned you, and I was like, I learned English pretty much from Conan, family guy, and Mr. Rogers.

[Conan O'Brien]

That's the trifecta.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yes.

[Conan O'Brien]

Many times I've seen those three circles intersect. It's so funny because this is not the first time many times I've had people tell me that, yeah, you were on the Internet in my country, or there was a weird channel that mistakenly showed you, and they would learn English from me, which I find kind of horrifying. But I'm also happy. Your English is fantastic, by the way.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Perfect. Thank you. I mean, I was obsessive about kind of like passing as an American, so I didn't want to have an accent. But I think people don't give enough credit to television, and especially, you know, late night television where that fourth wall isn't there. So you were talking to me. You know, reading books and all that stuff in school is fine, but it feels like somebody's actually talking to you.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's very intimate. It's very intimate. And that makes me very happy. I'm very happy you're in our country. You're clearly very cool and extremely talented, and I wish I could do what you do. I don't know. I'm not a jest.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

You don't know if I'm any good at it.

[Conan O'Brien]

What's that?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

You don't know If I'm any good at it, don't get any good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Shona's raving about you. She says you're terrific. And you know what? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say because you seem like a humble person, you don't seem like a self promoter. I imagine you're very good at this. I really do. So I'm gonna have Sona get me some of your music and I'll listen to it. But before I do that, I'd like a lesson from you. How would I sing? I just wanna. Let's say I wanna. You know, these careers, they come and go. I might need to get into jazz singing late in my life, and this would be the time. And you're the perfect person to. Hey, I taught you to speak English. You teach me jazz singing.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Okay, so I guess the most common, you know, thing people associate with jazz singing is scat singing, right? Most people are really bad at it, especially singers themselves. But I think the easiest approach to it is to think, like, if you were drunk at a bar and there's this song you remembered, and you want to remind the guy next to you at the bar, like, you know this song, it goes. And how would you sing the melody? That's what scat singing is. You're, like, just trying to recreate a melody. So give me a tune. Give me, like a Christmas song.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, it's gotta be something we can clear. Is that right? I forget what the rules are. Yeah, I still don't know.

[Sona Movsesian]

I don't know.

[Conan O'Brien]

We still don't know what the rules are on a song. So it's gotta be something. Maybe we should just do Row, Row, Row youw Boat. Because I don't imagine we have to pay any money for that.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

That's fine.

[Conan O'Brien]

So let's just say it's Row, Row, Row youw Boat. So I'm drunk and I'm trying to tell you have every song you sing. Summer Calf.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Come on.

[Conan O'Brien]

Come on, Lucy. It's Row, row, row your Boat. You know that song?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah, it's the one that goes.

[Conan O'Brien]

Fit in it.

[Announcer]

Sir, you're bothering the other customers and.

[Conan O'Brien]

I've been told to eject you.

[Sona Movsesian]

We already asked you to leave three times, sir.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Dude, it's. How was that? Be honest.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Okay. You got to bring it down. Okay, that's.

[Conan O'Brien]

Bring it down.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

That was a hard.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'm drunk.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

That was.

[Conan O'Brien]

Well, how drunk am I when I'm drunk? I don't bring it down.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

No, like a mellow kind of drunk.

[Conan O'Brien]

Oh, I see. Okay.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Psychotic Irishman. Okay, that's too much.

[Conan O'Brien]

Everything I do is wrong.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

No, no, that was good. Now. Now go right in between the first one and that one.

[Conan O'Brien]

But. Bing bom, Billy boy. Boo. Hey.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I think it had moments.

[Conan O'Brien]

Why are you crying? You're crying that moment and you're hurting. You're hurting yourself with the various moments. Why are you stabbing yourself with a paper? A paper. A letter opener.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, my God.

[Conan O'Brien]

On ebay, every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage band tee, the one you wore everywhere until you lost it.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Womp womp.

[Conan O'Brien]

Or your brother Neil burned it.

[Sona Movsesian]

Aw.

[Conan O'Brien]

Now you're on ebay. And there it is. The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you, especially on ebay. From rare collectibles and vintage cars to designer fashion, it's all there. You can find it if it's out there. And it can be back in your loving arms. Shop ebay for millions of finds, each with a story. Ebay. Things people love. Directed by Bradley Cooper. Is this Thing On? Is an intimate and hopeful portrait of a man on the precipice of divorce as he navigates reinvention, reconnection, and redemption in middle age. We meet Alex in the wake of his separation from Tess, looking for community and catharsis, and he stumbles into the New York comedy scene. Through comedy, Alex discovers a passion and sense of purpose just as Tess embarked on her own journey of self discovery. Deadline calls. Is this Thing On? A brilliant and profound explanation of marriage. It stars Will Arnett, our good friend Lara Dern, Andra Day and Bradley Cooper. Is this Thing On? Is an exploration of identity, self fulfillment and second chances. And I gotta say, I love all things Will Arnett. Yeah, he's really dear to me. And I thought he killed it in this movie. You guys saw it too.

[Sona Movsesian]

I loved everybody in it too. Yeah, I thought it was a really cool story.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I really loved it.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, I think it's really hard to make standup comedy feel like legitimate, and it really did that in an amazing way also. And I hate to make it about me, but I also have used comedy as catharsis. And I think someone should make a movie about me at my journey. And Will Arnett should play me now. Playing in select theaters everywhere January 9th. Get tickets today.

[Sona Movsesian]

I love this show.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yes. Watched it with my wife. Riveting. Starring Emmy winner Noah Wylie. Season 2 of the Max original series, The Pit is now streaming on HBO Max. Check out the official companion podcast on HBO Max and all major podcast platforms. What's your favorite kind of songs? What are the themes of your favorite songs thematically? You know, what do you like?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I used to avoid singing blues. I thought I was too young and I didn't get it. But I really enjoy singing in blues and especially, you know, like old blues that are about terrible, terrible men. I like those. I like those. But I don't do it to like, I don't like divisive music. I don't do it to mock the gents. I guess I mock them for a moment and then sure. But I like to point out the elephant in the room and then we can all kind of like laugh at it and move forward together.

[Conan O'Brien]

I think, speaking as a gent, I think a lot of us need ridiculing and, you know, we should be able to take it. Now. I don't mean me specifically. I can't handle it. And I'm never to be criticized in any way in song or prose.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

But yeah, I actually think people take it well when it's with a sprinkling of humor and in the arts, you know what I mean? It's hard to have those conversations. But I think when you're singing it, I can sing a lot of things that I can't say to people to their face.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. You know, it's funny you say that. I come from a fairly repressed culture where you don't say something. If I'm unhappy with someone, I don't tell them. I keep it locked inside. And I resent. And I learned many, many years ago that I can make these sort of passive aggressive jokes where they're laughing, but I think maybe 20 minutes after I've left, they notice, hey, wait a minute. I think he doesn't want me to take the last slice of cake anymore and. Cause he just sang to me a song, which I enjoyed, about assholes who take the last piece of cake. So, I mean, Sona, you've seen me. I'm the maestro. Yes.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

I mean, if there's a genre of music that's just being passive aggressive, Conan would be the number one artist, I think. Cause you're creating.

[Conan O'Brien]

I'd be Pavarotti.

[Sona Movsesian]

You would. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The passive aggressive genre.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Then you'd make a good jazz singer. There's plenty of that in the American songbook. But you're absolutely right. I've actually found that. My husband's a saxophone player and whenever he's on stage, I'll say things to him on stage. Just banter in between that I would never say to him. Off. But it releases the tension and then we get off and we're good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Like, you need to do the dishes.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

And things like that.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's in the middle of a solo and you say, ha, ha, you're a terrible lover. Anyway, I'm going to try that. Yes, try that. Guys love that, especially when they're on stage. So I'm curious. Famously, to try and sing jazz, you talked about tough times. Was there a moment that was just the lowest for you where you had no money, you didn't know what to do, and you had to take a drastic step?

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah. I mean, when I first moved to New York, I was working as a tour guide at Madison Square Garden.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, that's some great tour.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah, it was rough, actually. I got fired.

[Conan O'Brien]

Come on. To your left is a hobo. Over there is a puddle of urine. Sorry.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I got fired because I used to tell them that there used to be a beautiful train station there, and they tore it down to build this and.

[Conan O'Brien]

They had torn down so they could put up that monstrosity yeah, yeah, they didn't like that.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

So I got fired. But right around that time, I couldn't pay rent and I had just no money. And I had this horrible toothache once and I went in and they were like, it's this big long thing, we gotta do it. And I said, I don't have money. And they said, well, we can just pull it out. And I didn't have money for that either. And I ended up selling an old mandolin. I had to get the tooth pulled out.

[Announcer]

This is like an O. Henry story.

[Conan O'Brien]

You know, I was just thinking, did you ever think of taking the mandolin and using it to smash the tooth out? That's a good twist to the story. All I have is this mandolin to get my tooth out. Wait a minute. And then you smash it out, but then the mandolin breaks and you've damaged the tooth, only more. And you have no mandolin. And that's the end of the story. And it's called Shitty story. It sure is. I'm gonna write a whole book of those where it's just got that kind of twist ending. Oh, Brian's shitty stories just doesn't resolve, leaves nowhere.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

She knew then that she had to smash the tooth out with her own mandolin. She did it. It ruined both things. And then she was even worse off. Next chapter.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Right after that, I did this big competition that tends to be like the big break for a lot of jazz musicians called the Monk Competition. And I lost. So that was really the cherry on top. So this is great.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's because your mouth was bleeding and you were playing a broken mandolin. Just blood shooting out your mouth, your head swollen, and you're playing a mandolin.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

That'S in three pieces outside of Madison Square Garden.

[Conan O'Brien]

Exactly, yeah. And a hobo's like, I like it. That's so. I mean, I think you're a very impressive person. I have enormous respect for immigrants. I think people don't understand that you're. You know, most Americans are born into a language. They never have to and they never have to switch. And when people are born into one language and one culture and then they have to remake themselves as you have done, to speak a completely different language. And I know there are many immigrants that speak three languages. It takes an amount of grit and courage. That's awe inspiring. It really is. And you've, you know, you've. You're just a very impressive person. I think it's so cool.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Thank you. Thank you. I agree, as far as immigrating, it's a strange thing to do.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

It's a hard thing to do.

[Conan O'Brien]

I mean, Sona. To learn English when you were in your late 20s.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

When I met Sona, she did not speak a word of English, and I hired her as my assistant. And remember when I painted it? Do I remember what?

[Sona Movsesian]

I didn't speak English in my late 20s? Is that what you're asking?

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay. Is this the story where you said I jumped out of a bush and then you're like, I'll domesticate you and teach you English? Or is this the one where I floated to this country in a basket?

[Conan O'Brien]

They're one story.

[Sona Movsesian]

They are.

[Conan O'Brien]

Your dad was being attacked. Your dad was being attacked by goats.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

He put you into a. He quickly made a small boat out of thatch. Thatch and leaves. And he floated across from the island of Armenia over to Los Angeles. I was walking along in search of an assistant. You had, like Superman, grown to maturity in the boat. It took a long time.

[Sona Movsesian]

Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

And then you. You saw what you thought was a redheaded woman walking down the street, and you jumped out and said. And I said, oh, my God. And remember. And then I taught you everything you needed to know to become one of the most important people in America.

[Sona Movsesian]

Oh, thank you. I'm so indebted to you. Are you as offended as I am that he said that I floated off the island of Armenia?

[Conan O'Brien]

Lucy?

[Sona Movsesian]

I mean, it's very landlocked.

[Conan O'Brien]

It's expensive.

[Sona Movsesian]

It's landlocked. There is no body of water around.

[Conan O'Brien]

No, you haven't been there in a while. There's a piece that broke off. Just Google it, Sona. Google it.

[Sona Movsesian]

Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

Anyway, as you can see, Lucy, I'm a very ignorant man, a very foolish man, and you are a very talented artist, a very beautiful person, and you decided to spend time with me, so this is on you. And now my scatting career begins. Yes, But I am. I'm going to have Sona get me your work because I really want to listen to it.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah, please. I also have a show at the Alex on February 13th. You're more than welcome to.

[Conan O'Brien]

Where is it? In Glendale.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

In Glendale.

[Conan O'Brien]

In Glendale.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Conan O'Brien]

Hey, maybe we can come see you. Yeah.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

I mean, it's an easy Valentine's Day if you don't have any ideas. You know what I'm saying? I'll be there.

[Conan O'Brien]

I don't have a date. My wife will not speak to me on Valentine's Day. She says, don't even think about it.

[Sona Movsesian]

She's busy with her boyfriend.

[Conan O'Brien]

Yeah, man, that guy's a looker.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

You guys are crazy.

[Conan O'Brien]

Thank you.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Thank you.

[Conan O'Brien]

Okay, you just ruined it now. It's not believable. Well, Lucy, thank you so much for reaching out to us. I do get. I get great energy talking to people like you. Very positive, very talented. And you've. You've given me a lift. And you're really funny. So thank you very much.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Thank you. Thank you for teaching me English, Conan, even though you didn't mean to.

[Conan O'Brien]

And Sona, don't you want to thank me, too?

[Sona Movsesian]

No, I'm okay. I'm good.

[Conan O'Brien]

Thank you.

[Sona Movsesian]

No, I mean, no, thank you. I'm good. Ah, shit. Okay.

[Conan O'Brien]

All right. Well, you take care.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Thank you. You guys, too. Have happy holidays.

[Sona Movsesian]

Bye, Lucy.

[Lucy Yeghazarian]

Bye, Sona.
