Ah, Moira Rose. Played by the hilarious Catherine O’Hara in Schitt’s Creek (which ended far too soon, by the way), Moira’s list of quotes is almost as rich as the number of wigs she owns. One of the things that sets Moira apart from other TV characters is that she doesn’t have a confusing, transatlantic accent. This, for some reason, dramatically changed the way she said “baby”, thus creating the need for this funny “It’s going to be cold outside” ugly Christmas sweater. And in true Moira Rose fashion, it’s adorned with a variety of motifs, including shopping bags, dollar signs, and, of course, wigs. Lots of wigs.
