Manila, Jan 30 (IANS) The 65th edition of Miss Universe pageant started on a high note with TV host and comedian Steve Harvey, who is hosting the pageant again this year, making fun of his embarrassing mistake of announcing the wrong winner at the pageant’s 2015 edition. He says that he had taken all precautions not to do that again.
The pageant started with a clip showing him making plans with a group of boys and suggesting them to have an eye of everything.
He later introduced the reigning Miss Universe Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach who said that: “Steve thank you for making me the most popular Miss Universe.”
Harvey replied back with his funny one-liners: “Thank you for making me the most popular host.”
Harvey made headlines after he mistakenly gave the Miss Universe crown to Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez-Arevalo while Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was the actual winner.
Following the incident, he apologized multiple times but the internet enjoyed making fun of the “Family Feud” host in numerous memes that have landed online in the past few days.
The 65th edition of Miss Universe pageant is taking place at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay in the Philippines.
Roshmitha Harimurthy will represent India at the contest. The pageant will be special as former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen will be on the judges’ panel, who won her Miss Universe crown in Manila itself in 1994.
