Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe Fail Will Make You Cringe For Days

The Miss Universe pageant culminated in one incredibly uncomfortable finale Sunday night, after the show’s host and crusher of dreams Steve Harvey  announced the wrong winner.
“Miss Universe 2015 is … Colombia!” Harvey yelled.Only, the thing is, she isn’t.
Literally nothing more awkward has ever happened on live TV.
As Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo soaked in the moment she had likely been waiting for her entire life, feeling the glorious weight of the crown on her perfect head, waving and blowing kisses at the adoring crowd, Harvey apparently realized he misread the card and Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was the true winner.  While Miss Philippines was alerted of the truth and approached center stage, poor Miss Colombia was still enjoying what she thought was her sweet victory.
After what felt like years of silent squirming, Harvey took the blame as Miss Colombia was decrowned and Miss Philippines was announced the winner.
“This is exactly what’s on the card,” he said, as the camera zoomed in on Miss Philippine’s name as winner and Miss Colombia’s as first runner up. Ouch.

I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.
