Everybody makes mistakes… even Steve Harvey. Or perhaps, after Sunday night, that last sentence should read especially Steve Harvey.
In a contest nobody has watched since Bob Barker stopped hosting it, the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant witnessed a blunder of epic proportions, prompting a few clever people with a Twitter account to get their thumbs in motion.
Upon announcing the winner between the two finalists, Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines, Steve Harvey mistakenly declared the wrong participant a winner. Miss Colombia was supposed to be the first runner-up, which as we know from growing up watching this contest, never made any sense to begin with. If they had just called it ‘second place’ all along, all of this could have been avoided.
Instead, Miss Colombia got her quick five minutes of fame before she was robbed of her crown quicker than you can say Vanessa Williams. Harvey ultimately had to tell millions of viewers on live television that he had announced the wrong winner.
GUHHHHHHH!!!!!
As per usual, Twitter had a field day at Harvey’s expense. It’s a good thing he has a sense of humor.
And the winner of the World Series is the New York Mets! #MissUniverse2015

There appears to be no truth to the rumor that Steve Harvey has been hired by MSNBC for Election Night 2016. #MissUniverse2015
Somewhere deep down inside Al Capone’s vault, Geraldo Rivera is thanking Steve Harvey #MissUniverse2015

Survey says—number one answer! #MissUniverse2015
In fairness to Steve Harvey, it’s a giant universe and he successfully narrowed it down to two people.
Steve Harvey: The new Miss Universe is Miss Colombia!
Lee Corso: Not so fast my friend! (Puts globe on head)
Now I want Steve Harvey to come out and tell me that Forrest Gump didn’t really beat Pulp Fiction.
Bold of Steve Harvey to admit his mistake immediately. We haven’t tried that strategy yet.

Steve Harvey is why robots are going to take all of our jobs.

Now that Steve Harvey is done, Sepp Blatter will apologize for announcing the wrong 2022 World Cup host.
The Steve Harvey thing is the biggest thing to happen at pageant since Sandra Bullock saved everyone from that bomb
Tragic how Steve Harvey’s mistake compromised the integrity of the Miss Universe pageant.

Steve Harvey stole Christmas.
The problem isn’t that Steve Harvey made a mistake. The problem is that there are still beauty pageants?
According to Steve Harvey, Dewey DOES defeat Truman!
I’m not a twitter guy but here goes:
The question is: Who gave me the best hand-job?
Answer: Mrs. Colombia…wait, hang on a minute – Miss Philippines!!!

Act like a man , think like a lady ? What the ##ck was Steve Harvey thinking ? Cursive writing must have been way too much for him to read .
Jesus Christ was said to have walked on water and fans of the Buccaneers and Broncos are expecting way too much of and from Jameis Winston and Brock Osweiler.
Nothing more needs to be said on the issue .
This is why I don’t watch Family Feud anymore…
Nice one, Steve.
Ladies and gentlemen, can we please welcome my new karaoke DJ into the mix?
Go easy on him, people. He’s an encyclopedia of musical knowledge.
Plus he lets me sully up his microphones with whiskey breath.
Hand jobs, Moose?
Is that all it takes to win the crown?
One would think at least a little oral would be in order.
Pretty sure I’d lose concentration up there with all those women too there, Al.
I’m not sure who’s to blame for this faux pas but clearly Miss Colombia got the short end of the stick.
Actually, Burnsy, Harvey is a funny guy.
He just fucked up.
Royally, he he.
Chris, he’s laughing all the way to the bank for sure…but this will be his legacy in a world gone “social.” It’s poetic justice in a way…Harvey started a company a few years ago for celebrities where his employees do tweets for them so they do not have to do them themselves. I wonder how many people realize how many stars and athletes don’t even type their own tweets?
Which reminds me, Burnsy.
I need someone to Tweet out Merry Christmas for me.
Typing 140 characters can be just so tiresome.
Can you imagine if someone handed you a card that read “Professional Tweeter?”
Fuckers probably get paid too.
Well, it wasn’t Steve Harvey’s stick Miss Colombia got . How does Donald Trump feel about this all , as his company owns the Miss Universe Pageant ? Does it bode well or badly for his Presidential aspirations ? And the winner is ___ oh #hit , a recount might be needed in the state of Florida in 2016 if Trump is on the ballot and he’s in a tight race with Hillary Clinton . LOL,LOL !!!
So, Al, what’s going to happen to Trump when he doesn’t win the Republican nomination?
