In a 1978 interview with Paul Soles on CBC, renowned Canadian actress, comedian, and writer Catherine O’Hara displayed her early comedic talent by showcasing a mock commercial for a product called “Milk of Amnesia.”

In the skit, O’Hara humorously describes the desire to unwind and forget the day’s challenges after putting the kids to bed. She introduces “Philips Milk of Amnesia” as her go-to solution for relaxation, allowing her to let go of daily worries with a glass of the product.

Honoring O’Hara’s comedic legacy, particularly her role as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek,” for which she is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Comedic Role at the Canadian Screen Awards, CBC Arts unearthed this vintage footage. Viewers can reminisce and appreciate O’Hara’s talent that has brought laughter to audiences.
