Watch: Eli Manning pranks SNL's Kevin Nealon

Kevin Nealon hates the Giants.

It has nothing to do with the actual game of football, but it is because of Eli Manning.

The Giants' two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback and his brother, Peyton, pulled a prank on the comedic actor at the after-party for the 40th anniversary show of "Saturday Night Live" last month.

During an interview with Conan O'Brien, Nealon, an "S.N.L." cast member from 1986-1995, told a story about posing for a photo with Peyton at The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. The picture was taken with Nealon's iPhone, and afterwards, Peyton handed it to Eli for him to look over. Eli took it and said, "Looks good."

Thirty minutes went by, and when Nealon tried to text someone, all of his fonts were in Chinese.
Not knowing yet if he made a mistake or was a victim of the Manning brothers, Nealon got his confirmation when he later spotted them in a ballroom upstairs and Peyton yelled from across the floor, "Hey, Nealon, how's your phone?"

"I go over to [Peyton], I say, 'Where's Eli, where's your brother?'" Nealon joked. "And I see him. I say, 'Fix this phone. I hate the Giants. I'll never like the Giants. Fix the phone.' And you know what? He pretended to fix it and it still wasn't fixed. I had to go down to the Apple store."
