On Saturday Night Live in 2014, he reprised his former Saturday Night Live character Mango in Missy Elliot’s video Shut It Down. Kattan opted to put on dance shoes for Dancing With the Stars in 2017 after providing some of the most outstanding acting performances in shows, but he was the first star to be ousted from the program owing to his stiff moments. The actor subsequently disclosed that the rigid motions were caused by a back injury sustained during a Saturday Night Live broadcast in 2001.
