He was by no means the only colleague at the Eugene ceremony, where Catherine O’Hara stood at the lectern to deliver a speech about the guest of honor.
Catherine and Eugene played a married couple for eight seasons of the popular sitcom Schitt’s Creek, which Eugene created with his son and co-star Dan Levy.
In fact, they’ve been working together for decades, on iconic films like Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman and For Your Consideration.
Their professional collaborations date back to the 1970s, when they were both part of the cast of the sketch comedy series SCTV (Second City Television).
‘Eugene is a gentleman in every sense of the word. “Eugene takes his comedy very seriously,” Catherine stated during her speech.
“He’s obviously funny, but he’s not afraid to laugh at himself. In fact, most of his modest jokes point to the fact that he thinks it’s not funny at all, which is ridiculous,” said the Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events actress.
Catherine also praised Eugene’s former wife, Deborah Divine, calling her “the funniest person in the room.”
