Steve Harvey Was Involved In Yet Another Cringeworthy Flub At The Miss Universe Pageant

Steve Harvey Was Involved In Yet Another Cringeworthy Flub At The Miss Universe Pageant

Steve Harvey and Miss Universe have this strange, ongoing relationship of someone giving false information.

Harvey nearly repeated history this week when it was believed that he gave the wrong name at the Miss Universe competition, again.


During the televised ceremony, Harvey was standing on stage alongside Miss Malaysia. 

He announced that the winner of the Best National Costume contest was Miss Philippines and an image of her appeared on the stage screen.

Harvey then turned to Miss Malaysia at his side and said:

"This is it right here."

He introduced her as Miss Philippines and began complimenting her outfit.

Miss Malaysia, Shweta Sekhon, then interrupted him and said, with confidence:

"This is not the Philippines. This is Malaysia."

A very agitated Harvey turned back to the camera and the audience and said:

"Let me explain something to you. I just read that in the teleprompter. Y'all got to quit doing this to me. I can read... Now, they are trying to fix it now. See? This is what they did to me back in 2015, played me short like that."

Harvey's statement was met with laughter, while he was clearly very flustered with the mix-up.

Here were some of the initial reactions: 




As it turns out, though, Steve Harvey did not repeat his cringeworthy mistake from 2015 when he read the wrong name from the card announcing who had won the title, which you can watch below:

During the live broadcast of the show, the official Miss Universe account tweeted:

"Voted BEST National Costume... Malaysia!"

Later, with all of the confusion and jabs toward Steve Harvey, the Miss Universe account tweeted again to amend the situation.

They wrote:

"@IAmSteveHarvey had it right: Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados is the winner of the #MissUniverse2019 National Costume competition! Congratulations, Gazini."

It was also confirmed that the information posted on Twitter was not mirrored on the teleprompter.

While the Miss Universe account tweeted that the winner was Malaysia, Steve Harvey was correct in reading and stating that the winner was the Philippines.

Viewers are a mixture of confused and frustrated with what happened at the end of the contest. 

Some are also recommending, whether or not this was Steve Harvey's fault, that it's time for him to move on from the show, while he's still ahead. 



Others are taking the moment with a grain of salt and showing Harvey a little support.



Whether it was an actual flub-up, a jab at Harvey's mistake four years ago, or an attempt at an inside-joke, we know one thing for sure: Steve Harvey will surely be careful from now on.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

JD Vance Called Out For Hypocrisy As He Visits Disneyland With His Family Amid Boos

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
