Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Catherine O’Hara
1/31/20261 hr 5 min
We are heartbroken by the news of Catherine O’Hara’s sudden passing at the age of 71. Her brilliance, humor, and kindness touched so many of us, and we’ve taken comfort in listening back to Julia’s conversation with her from last year. We’re sharing it now as we mourn her loss and celebrate the sheer joy she brought to millions around the world.
On this episode of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down with 71-year-old comedy icon – and star of The Studio, Beetlejuice, and Schitt’s Creek – Catherine O’Hara. Catherine and Julia share their improv origin stories and reminisce about the freedom and experimentation of their early comedy careers. They also swap stories about visiting the Vatican, over-apologizing, and how they both find laughter incredibly sexy. Plus, Julia’s mom Judith tries very hard to tell a joke.

It seems like everyone's shouting, "Protein!" from the rooftops lately, and that's fair. It really does maintain your muscles, and protein is a great way to recover after a hike or a run. But let's be honest, meeting your protein needs shouldn't require you to consume another sad, unseasoned chicken breast. Ratio Protein Yogurt has twenty-five grams of protein per cup. That's more than four whole eggs. Not only is it packed with protein, but Ratio Protein has a smooth and creamy texture, so there's no need to compromise great taste when hitting your goals. And get this, Ratio Protein's twenty-five grams of protein is the most protein per cup in the yogurt aisle, plus zero added sugar. This helps you get the fuel you need to power through your day. Ratio does the math, so you don't have to. Head to ratiofood.com to find a retailer near you. Hey, it's me, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. We are officially back with a brand-new season of Wiser Than Me.
