The View featured kids dressed as the viral CEO and HR executive from the Coldplay kiss cam scandal for Halloween.
“Lead singer Chris’s jumbotron song, the CEO and the HR director caught on the big screen. The two turned away from the camera and the moment quickly went viral,” the show described the children’s costumes, as they acted out the famously viral scene.
“I love that one,” co-host Sara Haines chimed in.
The costume was a part of a segment that featured children dressed as several prominent figures in news and pop culture this year. Other costumes included Pope Leo, who rose to the papacy this year following the death of Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR director Kristin Cabot went viral after they were spotted during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., in July. The band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, joked they might be having an “affair” given their response to the unwanted attention.

In one viral clip shared to TikTok, a camera pans over to where the man and woman can be seen wrapped in each other’s arms. Cabot quickly turns her back to the camera to hide her face, while Byron ducks out of sight.
In the months since the scandal, both former Astronomer employees resigned from the company. Cabot also filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Andrew Cabot. She filed a petition for divorce in Portsmouth, N.H., on Aug. 13, NBC News reported.
In September, a source told PEOPLE that Cabot’s soon-to-be ex-husband was also on a date at the same concert. Andrew is the CEO of a rum distillery and a member of one of Boston’s most storied families.
