Accepting the award virtually, Catherine O'Hara expressed that she was "happily and seriously indebted" to Daniel and Eugene Levy, co-stars & creators of Schitt's Creek. Talking about both, Catherine said, "From Day 1, they treated me like something like this might happen". She further shared, "They created an inspiring, funny, beautiful family love story in which they let me wear a hundred wigs and speak like an alien. From the first read-through where no one had to fake a laugh to the final day on set where everybody, except me, couldn't hold back their tears. It's an experience I will forever hold dear to my heart. And I'm proud to be part of their family".
