Schitt’s Creek star and creator Dan Levy<\/strong> is opening up about how he’s coping in the wake of Catherine O’Hara<\/strong>‘s death.<\/p>\n Levy, 42, played O’Hara’s son David on the hit series, which followed the wealthy Rose family after they lost their fortune and were forced to seek refuge in a rural Canadian town named Schitt\u2019s Creek. The family patriarch, video tycoon Johnny Rose (played by the legendary\u00a0Eugene Levy<\/strong>), once purchased the town as a\u00a0joke<\/a>\u00a0for their son David\u2019s\u00a0birthday<\/a>\u00a0decades prior. O\u2019Hara earned rave reviews and legions of new fans for her role as matriarch Moira Rose, the eccentric actress known for bizarre word pronunciations and an extensive wig collection. Of course, the legendary actress was also known for roles in films like\u00a0Home Alone,\u00a0Beetlejuice,\u00a0Best in Show,\u00a0Waiting for Guffman,\u00a0A Mighty Wind, and\u00a0After Hours.<\/p>\n But in a new appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, Levy opened up about what gives him the greatest comfort since losing O’Hara at 71 in January.<\/p>\n \u201cListen, it\u2019s like a collective loss, I think,\u201d Levy shared. \u201cShe was the greatest. She\u2019s irreplaceable. The great comfort for me has just been to see how loved she was \u2014 the outpouring. Everyone felt like they kind of knew her.\u201d<\/p>\n Fallon raved about O’Hara, noting that “She could do everything. She was one of the funniest comedians I\u2019ve ever seen. Can do characters. Gorgeous.\u201d Levy spoke of her as \u201cUnbelievably talented at improvising. One of the great, great, great queens.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out Levy speaking about his love for O’Hara below:<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Levy’s father, Eugene Levy, also shared a touching remembrance of O’Hara upon her passing, the Hollywood Reporter<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n \u201cWords seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today. I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O\u2019Hara<\/a> for over fifty years. From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies<\/a> we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on\u00a0Schitt\u2019s Creek,\u00a0I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship<\/a>. And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke, and the entire O\u2019Hara family,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n Annie Murphy<\/strong>, 39, played O\u2019Hara\u2019s flighty daughter Alexis Rose on the hit series.<\/p>\n On Instagram, Murphy shared a sweet post that featured photos of herself and the renowned actress.<\/p>\n \u201cHa-ha-HAAAA?!?! Her laugh was a perpetual Yes, And\u2026 It challenged anyone who heard it to join in, and be as delighted as she was. Gosh, were we ever lucky to have her,\u201d Murphy captioned the photo series. She concluded the post with a hashtag that read \u201cgoodbye to a great actress,\u201d along with a smiling\u00a0emoji<\/a>\u00a0wearing sunglasses.<\/p>\n Related: Catherine O’Hara Posthumously Wins Actor Award \u2014 Here’s Who Accepted on Her Behalf<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Apr 1, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
