Published: Dec 09 2025

The Los Angeles Kings' kiss cam captured a delightful moment of camaraderie between Andy Richter, a 59-year-old comedian, and Alan Bersten, a 31-year-old professional dancer from "Dancing with the Stars," on Saturday, December 6th. The duo was joined by Bersten's girlfriend and fellow "DWTS" pro, Emma Slater, 36, who shared a passionate kiss with Bersten for the cameras. However, Richter seemed to want to join in on the fun as well.

In a clip shared on Instagram, Bersten and Slater shared their kiss as the Kings faced off against the Chicago Blackhawks. Moments later, Richter tapped his friend on the shoulder, Bersten turned around, and they shared a heartfelt kiss of their own. As they all laughed and clapped over this unconventional kiss-cam moment, Slater even opened her mouth in shock.

"Last night was so much fun," Bersten captioned the clip. "@theemmaslater and I had our first kiss cam! And so did @richtercommaandy at the @lakings." The moment was appreciated by several "Dancing with the Stars" alumni, including Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter, who commented on the video. "This is awesome," wrote Hendrix, 62, while Walter, 54, asked playfully, "Should I be jealous of Andy?"

One fan even pointed out that Richter's wife, Sarah Thyre, could be seen in the background of the clip cheering on the unexpected kiss. "I bet she's such a fun wife/friend," they wrote.

Slater had danced alongside Richter on season 34 of "DWTS," where they came in seventh place after being eliminated during the show's 20th Birthday Party episode in November. Less than two weeks after his elimination, Richter told PEOPLE that he was still recovering physically from his time on the show. "My body is enjoying not dancing because I was really getting to the point where I was always having to ice my knees every hour," he said. "We'd dance a while and then I'd have to ice my knee, and there was a lot of pain and getting injections just to be able to keep going. So I'm healing."

Looking back at himself in the months prior, Richter said he felt like "a different person" both physically and mentally. "There's a lot of stuff that I didn't think I could do anymore," he said. "It's expanded what I think is physically possible and honestly, it's made me younger. I'm younger now than when I started doing this." Meanwhile, Slater and Bersten had been "supportive" of each other during their latest season of "DWTS," as they confirmed their relationship back in April.
