Aussie celebs parody viral Coldplay kiss-cam clip
American comedian Nikki Glaser's Australian tour kicked off this week, with the Golden Globes host performing a show in Sydney on Saturday night – and she made sure to take a moment to pay homage to the widely-discussed scandal.
During her set the performer offered up her own version of the kiss cam that exposed Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, with Glaser's parody dubbed the Coldplay Clearly Committed Couple Kiss Cam.
'Let's see if we can have one more we can find – can we zoom in?' Glaser says at one point to the audience as the camera focused on The Project alum Wilkinson, who was being embraced by comedian Hamish Blake.

'Is that… is that Hamish and Lisa?! Ooooh, busted,' the comedian joked, while the duo covered their faces and tried to hide from the camera.
'Someone call Zoe right now, what the f***,' she followed up.
Hamish Blake is married to author Zoe Foster Blake, while Lisa Wilkinson is married to former rugby player Peter FitzSimons.
The television star took to Instagram after the event to share a video of the moment, joking in the caption that 'bloody cameras are everywhere'.
Comments flooded in, praising the duo for the reenactment.
'My girlfriend and I were in the audience and this was hilarious!' one attendee said.
'Absolute gold,' another fan commented
'A great way to open the show,' a third comment read.
The parody comes after news that the CEO at the scandal's centre, Andy Byron, has resigned from company Astronomer.
'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding - our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said in their first statement since the scandal broke.
'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.'

Coldplay honour Ozzy Osbourne at Nashville show
Coldplay paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during their show in Nashville, Tennessee just hours after his death. Chris Martin's band took to the stage at the city's Nissan Stadiumon Tuesday (22.07.25) evening shortly after the Black Sabbath legend passed away aged 76 and the frontman gave a moving speech remembering the late rocker before the band played a cover of his track Changes. Martin told the audience: "We'd like to dedicate this whole show to the incredible genius, talent, and characterful [sic] gift to the world who was Ozzy Osbourne. We send our love to his family." At the end of the song, Martin looked towards the sky and raised his arms, saying: "OK Ozzy, we love you. Wherever you're going. Thank you for everything." Ozzy first recorded Changes with Black Sabbath in 1972, but he released it again in 2003 as a duet with his daughter Kelly. His death comes just two weeks after the rocker reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for their Back To The Back to the Beginning farewell show in their hometown of Birmingham, England which raised millions of pounds for charity. The good causes supported by the gig included Birmingham Children's Hospital, which released a statement thanking Ozzy for his lasting contribution to the organisation's future. It read: "We're so very sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne's passing. Ozzy had an incredible career and life, but never forgot his Brummie roots. "Our hospital was extremely lucky to have his support over the years and most recently with his iconic final performance, which will leave a lasting legacy for our sick kids. "Our thoughts are with Sharon and the whole Osbourne family. Our hospital has lost a friend, Birmingham a son and the world a musical legend." The concert's funds will also help the Acorns Children's Hospice, and a spokesperson for the charity said of the loss: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne and send our heartfelt condolences to Sharon and the entire Osbourne family at this incredibly difficult time ... "For us at Acorns, Ozzy's generosity and compassion will never be forgotten. His decision, alongside Black Sabbath and Sharon Osbourne, to support Acorns during their unforgettable Back to the Beginning show at Villa Park was a moment of pure magic ... "That night and in the weeks since, thanks to Ozzy, our children's hospice care has been embraced by people across the world. Families who so often can feel unseen have been celebrated by millions."
