Announcing Wrong Winner (Miss Universe)

It probably felt like it was ripped off and her psyche was certainly torn...

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.

I disagree about "co-winners". There is only ONE winner, and that person is entitled to enjoy the victory. They should not have to share it with whoever came in second place just because the host made a mistake.
 
Come on pay attention, it was simply a good move by executives to increase their rating upward again after falling for the last 5 years. The last ratings was 1 million viewer which is far below par.

Come the MC screwed up and they invited him back next year?...gimme a break. Where the heck is Bert Parks?

What do you mean, telling people to pay attention? And how do you know it was "simply a good move by executives"? Do you have some kind of inside information which no one else is privy to? Please, share it with the rest of the world.
 
Wonder how much Harvey got to read a q card correctly. He probably got over 6 figures and free publicity for his brand.

The winner is miss xxxxx

He only had to say one sentence or one word actually correctly(name of country)

I would deduct that from his pay.

He was cremated, so I'm guessing he's all around us here and there.

Ralphy. it's going to take time to get over this. You've experienced deep trauma and it's going to be a process. We'll all work together to get you through this, though - I promise!

Meanwhile, to put things in perspective, here's an ugly dog contest:

 
Steve Harvey: Comedian Signs Multiyear Deal to Host Miss Universe, Report Says
According to Entertainment Tonight, the deal is for at least three years and was signed before this year's pageant. Harvey initially crowned the wrong contestant at Miss Universe 2015.
 
They want him back next year:

Everyone makes mistakes. Even though Steve Harvey made a major blunder when he announced the wrong winner during the live Miss Universe telecast on Sunday, December 20, he’s welcome to host the show again next year.

Mark Shapiro, the chief content officer of WME IMG (the company that owns the Miss Universe Organization), told the Jim Rome Show that he’d love to have the Family Feud host back next year.

“He was funny, he was informative, he’s high energy, he’s got a great following,” Shapiro said of the 58-year-old comedian. “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 like Steve Harvey on Family Feud. He seems to be interested in the game itself and roots for the contestants in a nice way. Kinda neat.
His innuendo is pretty tame, imo.

The one I didn't like was Richard Dawson---spent too much time flirting with the ladies.

HUbby told me he once saw an interview of Harvey.. Apparently he was homeless and living in his car for a time. I guess he is a success story.
