Hey guys, Willie Geist here with a special edition of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

I'm coming to you on the sad occasion of the death of the great Catherine O'Hara at the age of 71.

We got the news that has shaken so many people because she is so beloved and she's

been in our lives for so long and made us laugh so much and been in so many great movies

and TV shows. Most recently, the studio, the hysterically funny, critically acclaimed

Seth Rogen show. She was nominated for a Golden Globe and for an Emmy for that as well. Of course, Schitt's Creek, maybe most famously, where she played Moira Rose, just one of the best characters in the history of television. She won all the awards for that one. Emmy Golden Globe Saga Award.

She was incredible in that show. I suspect a lot of people are re-watching Schitt's Creek

tonight in her honor. And of course, all the movies that you know about. She was the mom in

Home Alone and the sequel as well. She, of course, Beetlejuice. And then the great, great

Christopher guest mockumentaries, like Best in Show,

for your consideration, a mighty wind. She was so great in all those. Man, this one really hits.

She was a special person and she could step onto a screen and always make you laugh,

always make you happy that she was there,

and she will be missed. So we thought we would repost my conversation with her from early

2024, about two years ago, on the occasion of the release of a movie she was in called Argyle.

We talk a little bit about that, but really about her incredible journey from an 18-year-old

aspiring Canadian comedian to become really one of the great icons of comedy. So it is with love

and respect and sadness that we sit down now and spend some time once again with the late great Catherine

O'Hara on the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

Catherine, thank you for doing this.

Thank you very much.

I'm so happy to be talking to you.
