  • Chris Kattan says one 2001 skit on “Saturday Night Live” changed his life forever. In the skit, a spoof of “The Golden Girls,” Kattan choked on cheesecake and threw himself backward, hitting the ground hard. Kattan knew right away the injury was something serious but said he kept it to himself because he feared the repercussions for his career. “I went backward on my chair to sell it and I really put myself into the character,” he told Inside Edition. #InsideEdition

      I got addicted to pain pills after a kidney stone surgery… they took over my life and I was poor without the ability to afford it.
      I can’t imagine working on a show like SNL where presumably not only could he afford it, but I would guess he was introduced people who could always get them for him… *So from his perspective, what incentive was there to ever quit or to ever seek help???*
      It’s easy to look down on people and impossible to know what they’re actually going through.

    Chris Kattan was my absolute favorite actor when I was young he cracked me up ☺️ I had no idea this had happened to him though it’s so sad. Your still my guy, Kattan!
