Schitt's Creek Isn't the First Time Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara Worked Together

Levy and O'Hara's first onscreen collaborations came with this sketch comedy show. Both were members of Toronto's Second City comedy troupe, where they met in the 1970s. Over the course of the show, they portrayed a bunch of different characters, all within the framework of a fake TV news program.

In this 2003 mockumentary about a fictional folk music festival, Levy and O'Hara play Mitch and Mickey, a duo and former couple whose romance and dramatic breakups are the stuff of legend.

In the dog-show satire from 2000, the duo play Gerry and Cookie Fleck, a middle-class Florida couple who encounter money problems and a string of Cookie's exes at the dog show.

Levy and O'Hara often collaborated with the same core group of creators and actors. In this film from 1996, they didn't play a married couple, but instead costarred (as members of a community theatre group) with several of their usual colleagues in a heavily improvised satire of the famous play Waiting For Godot.

In 2006, the duo once again starred in a Christopher Guest mockumentary film, this one spoofing Hollywood itself. O'Hara plays a veteran character actress in a low-budget movie, while Levy plays her fictional costar's agent.

Today's audiences probably know O'Hara and Levy best from their roles as broke video store mogul Johnny Rose and his soap-actress wife Moira, who are forced to rebuild their lives after losing all their fortune thanks to a shady business manager.
