Steve Harvey Mistakenly Crowns The Wrong Miss Universe 2015 (Video)

Oh snap!!!!! Just as Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez was blowing kisses and waving to her adoring fans she was informed, on live television, that host Steve Harvey had gotten the results wrong.

Miss Colombia had been wiping away tears of joy as the $30,000 blue diamond and topaz crown was placed upon her head and she was named Miss Universe 2015, winning the title for her country for the second year in a row.

But her glory only lasted for two minutes. But then the host Steve Harvey said he'd made a terrible mistake.

"Okay, folks," he said. "I have to apologize."
Miss Colombia was the first runner-up, he said, holding up the card that contained the official results.
The real winner was Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who looked astonished by the sudden turn of events.

The almost unbelievable ending to the pageant was televised live in many countries, including on the Fox network in the United States on Sunday night.
Wurtzbach covered her mouth in shock when Harvey announced the correction. Then she walked out to the front of the stage and waited for Gutierrez to hand over the crown.
Harvey stood to the side, visibly embarrassed, while the crowd cheered. On the card he was holding, both the winner and first runner-up's names were printed in small type.
Harvey took responsibility and called it a "horrible mistake."

And many others agreed; social networking sites lit up with instant reaction. ESPN's Darren Rovell called it "the worst mistake in TV awards show history."
Harvey is a beloved comedian best known for hosting the game show "Family Feud" and daily talk shows on radio and TV.
Observers immediately pointed out that he has much more experience with taped shows than with live TV.

After the pageant snafu, he tweeted, "I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible."
He followed up and said, "Secondly, I'd like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake."
Some people quickly came to the host's defense; Earvin Magic Johnson tweeted, "we've all made mistakes in our careers & lives." He encouraged Harvey to "keep the faith and keep going strong!"

Charles M. Blow, an op-ed columnist at the New York Times, cautioned people not to be too hard on Harvey.
"Ok, @IAmSteveHarvey made a huge mistake. BUT, how many have we all made?! Seriously, don't laugh too loud. Karma might hear you...," Blow tweeted.
