Steve Harvey: Host of 2015 Miss Universe Pageant Apologizes for Announcing Wrong Winner.

Harvey said Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez won when Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach actually had. "It was an honest mistake," he wrote on social media.

I made a terrible mistake tonight in announcing the wrong winner and runner-up for the Miss Universe pageant. I know how much pride many countries, fans and most importantly, the contestants take in preparing for this night. I hope that you can forgive me.
All contestants were amazing but I want to specifically apologize to Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines again and wholeheartedly. You both represented well for your countries, families and yourselves.

You had one job, one ... and you messed it up.

What do you expect from someone whose daytime game show (Family Feud) is one long string of semi-dirty, suggestive jokes? He really helped take that show down the drain.
 
Wow, that was awkward to say the least.

I like Steve Harvey. He does a good job on Family Feud compared to previous hosts (although I agree there's too much double entendre). His talk show….usually enjoyable, but a bit too many “Ladies, here's how you get a husband" and "I’m gonna find you a good man” segments.
 

I bet Miss Columbia was really dissapointed, but I guess he's human and allowed a mistake now and then. He must've felt terrible. I like him too, and watch Family Feud sometimes while we're eating supper, good for a few chuckles.
 
The show was running smoothly until that slob ruined the whole thing. What an insult to those two finalists!

The show was watched by thousands all over the world and gravely disappointed @ the ending.

He should send those two girls each a million $$$ (of his many) along with an apology.

Billions, according to news reports.
 
When my wife told me this, I said maybe they should have taken a commercial break and talked it over. When they came back from break, they could have announced co-winners. Would that have worked? At least it would have bailed Harvey out of a bad situation. We all make mistakes, but this mistake should not have been made. It may have also been written on cue cards. I saw the replay yesterday and thought the loser was very gracious.
 
The Miss Universe contest crowning fiasco shocked me!

Crowning and uncroning the winner was just almost to much to take and I wept like a baby for the poor woman from Colombia-who wore her crown for only a couple of minutes before it was ripped from her head. Surely you share my sentiments for this tragic mistake in front of the world...
 
I agree that Family Feud was much better with the other hosts... My favorite was Richard Karn.. (AL from Home Improvement) Harvey is just to dirty.. and is always looking to make off color jokes and innuendos.. OK once in a while.. and the leading questions are geared that way.. but he carries it too far IMO.
 
They didn't exactly rip it from her head. A polite apology was made and then they crowned the other lady.
