WME IMG Chief Content Officer, Mark Shapiro, who was in charge of Miss Universe, talked to CBS Radio’s Jim Rome today about Steve Harvey’s mess up that was heard around the world Sunday night.
Rome explained how he felt about what happened and what was on the card, “It just was a flat-out mistake. I mean, on the left side of the card, and it’s been tweeted around, obviously, it says Third Runner-Up: USA, Second Runner-Up: Miss Colombia, and then, on the right side of the card in big letters, it says 2015 Miss Universe and right underneath it, Philippines,” Then he admitted they should make it a little easier for the next host.
Could it be Steve Harvey again? He said, “Absolutely, absolutely. If anything, I’m sure FOX would support it, because as I said, he did a great job. He was funny, he was informative, he’s high energy, he’s got a great following. Then he added, “I definitely want him back, and I would hate to see him not come back. He’s going to want a shot to redeem himself.”
I hope they have him back because it would be fun to see if he would do it again. Which I would want him to do because I am sadist and like watching people suffer. I mean to go from winner to runner-up in front of the whole world has got to suck for them but it is fun for us!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=181&v=Z9aRmmWX5XI Steve Harvey hosted the Miss Universe pageant tonight and he announced that Miss Colombia was the winner. Only problem is that she was the runner up and Miss Philippines was the actual winner. So the host had to come out and tell the world about his mistake.
After the show was over, he Tweeted his apologies. He said, “I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible. Secondly, I’d like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake. I don’t want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing.”
Maybe because I am such a fan of Harvey’s, I am not upset with his mistake. He is human and it can happen to almost anyone. Plus, now we are actually talking about the pageant. Had he not messed up, would we have even cared that happened.
UPDATE: Steve Harvey took part in a press conference after the show and he explained how he messed up who won Miss Universe. Basically he read the top of the card that read Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez’s name and didn’t see that she was first runner up. The winner’s name was on the bottom of the card, so that is what happened. They should’ve just had the winner’s name on the card just like awards shows and he would not have messed up.
Steve Harvey asked the contestants on Family Feud, “We asked 100 married men. If you take Viagra, name someone you hope your wife doesn’t blab it too?” Most people would say Priest, parent, friends and/or co-workers, but not Vernon. He guessed, “Mistress!” If your wife is telling your mistress that, you have much bigger worries to worry about. Like, the Mrs is also telling your side piece what of yours she is sending over to her place because she is kicking your a$$ out.
Having said that, you have to respect Vernon for being that naive about why his answer was so wrong. Even after Harvey tried to explain it to him. His spouse is lucky to have him because you know he is not going to cheat on her. At least not anymore.
Most contestants on Family Feud express themselves with their answers, but Anthony Schiano uses his whole body to do it. When Steve Harvey asked him, “We asked 100 men fill in the blank, my wife’s bottom is so big that at parties we can blank on it?” When it was Anthony’s turn, he acted out his answer, “We can eat,” as he said it. Then when it was on the board, he did his best Leprechaun dance as he asked his family if they wanted to play. Yet, he calmly said, “We are going to play.” The game show host was as shocked as everyone else when he responded so matter of factly after being all hyper, but that is what makes the contestants on this show so much more fun than the others.
Steve Harvey asked the contestants on Family Feud, “Name a part of lover’s body you would like to eat a chocolate mold of?” Without hesitation, April buzzed in and laughed as she said, “His private area!” Sadly, “Wonder Down Under” was the second answer on the board. I don’t know why, I would enjoy it more if it tasted like chocolate. Wouldn’t you?
What was the #1 answer? The chest area. Which means more men answered the question than women. Although, I think butt should’ve been the #1 answer because I like big butts and lots of chocolate! There is only so much you can fit in the mold of his Butterfinger! Oh, that is why they call that bar that! Makes so much sense now!
