Comedian/TV presenter and author Steve Harvey is trending worldwide for a huge blunder he made.
Steve Harvey who hosted Miss Universe 2015 mistakenly crowned the wrong contestant as Miss Universe.
The beauty pageant took place in Las Vegas yesterday (December 20), and memorably saw Steve Harvey wrongly announce Miss Colombia as Miss Universe.
The actual winner was Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. The blunder was televised live in many countries around the world.
Upon realizing his mistake, Steve Harvey made a correction and announced Miss Philippines as the winner.
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was shocked when she heard she won, and she walked to the front of stage where she was crowned.
Calling it a horrible mistake, Steve Harvey has apologized for the mix up.
See the tweets of his apology below;
I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.
