It's April 1st, Entertainment and celebrity news today starts now, AI powered in Spotlight Ready. I'm Cory with the story. Dan Levy just dropped some heartfelt words for his shits Creek on-screen mom, Catherine O'Hara, two months after she passed away at age 71. From a pulmonary embolism tied to rectal cancer, he hid the tonight's show stage with Jimmy Fallon, calling her death a collective loss and straight up irreplaceable, the greatest talent he's known. O'Hara left this on January 30 in Los Angeles after a short illness as confirmed by her agency. She shone as the wild Moira Rose in the sitcom, Levy co-created with his dad Eugene alongside stars like Annie Murphy. Her improv skills had Fallon, age 51, healing her as one of the funniest ever. Levy soaked in the global love for her, saying everyone felt like they knew her personally. Eugene Levy echoed that, mourning over 50 years of collaboration from 2nd City to shits Creek, calling her extended family and a true friend.

Even after her passing, O'Hara snagged a posthumous win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in March, for best comedy actress in Apple TV's The Studio, playing a sharp studio boss in one of her final roles. Levy's trippy reminds us how her glow lit up screens in hearts, leaving a legacy that keeps the laughs echoing long after the credits roll.
