Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten and comedian Andy Richter stole the spotlight at a Los Angeles Kings hockey game over the weekend — with an unexpected kiss-cam moment that sent fans (and Bersten’s girlfriend, Emma Slater) into laughter.
The lighthearted exchange took place on Saturday, Dec. 6, when the DWTS stars were attending the Kings’ matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks at Crypto.com Arena. As the kiss cam panned to the trio, Bersten, 31, and Slater, 36, shared a sweet kiss — but the moment took a hilarious turn when Richter, 59, decided to join in.
The Viral Kiss-Cam Moment
In a video shared by Bersten on Instagram, the camera first captured the DWTS couple kissing for the crowd. Seconds later, Richter playfully tapped Bersten on the shoulder, prompting the dancer to turn around — only for the two to share a quick, friendly smooch of their own.
The crowd erupted with laughter as Slater covered her mouth in mock shock before joining in the applause.
“Last night was so fun,” Bersten captioned the video on Instagram. “@theemmaslater and I had our first kiss cam! And so did @richtercommaandy at the @lakings.”
The moment quickly went viral across social media, with fans praising the trio’s good humor. One viewer even noted that Richter’s wife, Sarah Thyre, could be seen cheering in the background.
“I bet she’s such a fun wife/friend,” one fan commented.

Andy Richter Reflects on His DWTS Journey
Following his elimination during the show’s “20th Birthday Party” episode in November, Richter told People that his time on the competition left a lasting impact — physically and emotionally.
“Certainly my body is enjoying not dancing,” he said. “I was really getting to the point where I was always having to ice my knees every hour… There was a lot of pain and injections just to be able to keep going.”
Despite the challenges, the comedian said the experience made him feel “younger” and more capable.
“There’s a lot of stuff that I didn’t think I could do anymore,” Richter shared. “It’s made what I think is physically possible expand completely. Honestly, it’s kind of made me younger.”
Alan Bersten and Emma Slater’s Growing Relationship
As for Bersten and Slater, the professional dancers have been inseparable both on and off the dance floor. They confirmed their relationship earlier this year in April and have remained supportive of each other throughout the latest DWTS season.

“She pulls him over when she’s trying to figure something out,” Richter added with a laugh. “She goes, ‘Just do this and see how it looks.’”
The playful kiss-cam moment only added to their growing list of memorable public appearances — proving that for the DWTS family, a sense of humor is always part of the routine.
