Nick looks back at the two times Catherine O’Hara hosted Saturday Night Live, following her passing on January 30, 2026. It’s a chance to remember just how special she was, from her work in Beetlejuice and Home Alone to her unforgettable TV roles on Schitt’s Creek and the legendary SCTV. Even though she was once hired by SNL and famously walked away before ever appearing, she eventually returned to host twice, in 1991 and 1992.

Nick revisits those two shows, playing back standout sketches and moments that capture her timing, range, and quiet brilliance. Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories that add context to how those episodes came together and why they still hold up.

It’s part tribute and part time capsule, celebrating a performer who could steal a scene without ever forcing a laugh. The result is a warm, funny trip back to the early 90s and a reminder of how much Catherine O’Hara brought to comedy, on SNL and everywhere else. [Ep 163]
