Serious chops. Serious. She will be sorely missed.

I just logged into the forum to start a thread. Thanks for getting one going.

RIP.  Sad loss, sorely missed indeed.

I've gotten out of touch with popular culture, but I loved the old SCTV shows, which is how I got familiar with her.

Plus more recently the "mockumentary" films Best In Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind.

Shitt's Creek was repeatedly on point too

Judging from the cast, it must have been! But I stopped watching TV in 2010 and never saw any of the series.

she was great (as is her sister Mary Margaret). RIP. Bummer news...

I tried watching the first episode of Schitt's Creek and I'm not sure that I made it through all the way. It just didn't make me laugh,

Who else could make authentic appearances in both Best In Show and Home Alone? She was excellent in Schitt's Creek—perhaps the very reason to watch the series.

She also added insight to the John Candy documentary on Netflix.

An enormous talent and genuine spirit.

This is beyond sad. I'd watch any movie with her or any of the other members of SCTV in it, and they'd always be the high point of the film.
We've lost Guy Caballero, Johnny LaRue, and now Lola Hatherton. Melonville will never be the same.
RIP, Ms. O'Hara.
