*Oops!
Steve Harvey made a major boo-boo Sunday night.
He announced the WRONG winner of the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas.
Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the winner, but she was actually the first runner-up. Miss Philippines was the real winner.

If you missed it, here’s how Deadspin described it:
The final two contestants standing were Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines, and Harvey wished them both luck as he opened the envelope and prepared to read the winner. He then mistakenly announced that Miss Colombia was the winner. She proceeded to stand there and blow kisses to the crowd for a few minutes while Ol’ Steve silently contemplated his f*ck-up. He finally worked up the courage to slink over to Miss Colombia and announce his mistake. This was just a wonderful bit of live TV.
Steve is apologizing profusely. Look at his tweets:
I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.

Secondly, I’d like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake.

I don’t want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing. — Steve Harvey (@IAmSteveHarvey) December 21, 2015
All’s well that ends well, as the saying goes. At the end of the show, Miss Philippines was bestowed her rightful crown. See it again, below:
