As fans of the celebrated Apple TV show are award, the cast is seemingly endless stream of big names — and at the front of the line for season 1 was O'Hara, who died on Jan. 30 at age 71.
During their acceptance speech on Saturday at the 2026 DGA Awards, Goldberg, 43, and Rogen, 43, took time to honor the beloved co-star, according to media outlets including Deadline.
“Honestly, there’s no one we wish we could thank in person at this moment more than we would love to thank Catherine O’Hara," said Rogen, per Deadline, with Goldberg adding, "We grew up in Canada, and she is and was quite literally our idol since we were children."
In addition to her recent small-screen work — which also includes Schitt's Creek, of course — O'Hara might be best remembered for her role in a certain holiday movie.
"Home Alone honestly is the movie that made me want to make movies in a lot of ways,” Rogen also said during his acceptance speech on Saturday, per Deadline. "And I mean, in that movie she’s always yelling, 'Kevin, Kevin!' And on set, she would always be yelling, 'Evan, Evan!' And every time she did it, we were like, 'It’s like Home Alone.'"
Goldberg added, "The best part of her is she showed that you can be an utter genius and also the nicest person in the entire world."
Interestingly, two weeks before O'Hara's death, Rogen had shown love for her in a joint social media post with Apple TV, which featured a series of behind-the-scenes and stills from The Studio. See below.
