In a touching segment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Dan Levy paid tribute to his onscreen mother, the late Catherine O’Hara, who passed away just two months earlier. Levy spoke warmly about O’Hara’s irreplaceable talent and shared how the outpouring of love from fans has helped him process the collective loss. He described her as one of the greatest, with an uncanny gift for improvisation that left a lasting impact on all who watched her perform.
The world also mourns O’Hara’s departure, who left us at the age of 71 after battling health issues. Remembered for her unforgettable role as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, her legacy continues to shine. Just this past March, she received a posthumous award at the SAG Awards for her work in Apple TV’s The Studio, proving that even in passing, her brilliance remains celebrated. As we reflect on her contributions, it’s clear she had a unique knack for bringing laughter and heart into our lives, and that’s something to cherish.
