Pranks abounded behind the scenes on SNL in the ’90s — and not all were appreciated.

Chris Kattan (above) told Howard Stern that Norm MacDonald would sometimes belittle him for playing so many effeminate characters, which he didn’t appreciate. Things came to an odd crescendo on a flight from Los Angeles to New York City. Neither realized they would both end up on the flight.

“It was a red eye. He was behind me and we were getting along, whatever,” said Kattan, adding that MacDonald was making very loud, crude jokes. “I’m laughing because he’s a funny guy.”

Kattan fell asleep, and when he woke up, realized his shoe was missing.

“He stole my shoe,” Kattan recalled.

Later, he responded by stealing MacDonald’s jacket on an especially cold night.
