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.
