Kattan reportedly weathered the surgery well and was due to be released today if there were no further complications.


The comedian's girlfriend, Maria Libri, posted a photo of the two of them together to Instagram saying Kattan "is on the road to recovery" after his pneumonia scare.

"This sweet, sweet man of mine is on the road to recovery, after a severe pneumonia scare ❤️❤️❤️ He is always taking care of us, now it’s our turn to take care of him💞❤️@chriskattanofficial"
