Miss Universe 2015: Steve Harvey Gets Roasted Big Time For Announcing The Wrong Winner [VIDEO]
Fans are showing no mercy after TV mogul Steve Harvey had a huge mess up when announcing the Miss Universe winner on live television last night.

Harvey accidentally announced the crowned champion as Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez-Arevalo, when she was really the runner-up. While she was waving at the crowd, Harvey had to admit his mistake and announce Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach as the real winner.
Take a look at the cringing clip below.

To make matters worse, his apology on the matter didn’t go over too well either. He ended up apologizing to “Miss Philippians” instead of Miss Philippines on Twitter.
But he ended up correcting the mistake and apologizing to both contestants, as well as snapping a photo of everything being smoothed over well.
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. — Steve Harvey (@IAmSteveHarvey) December 21, 2015

Of course that didn’t stop fans for coming from him big time.
One said it is the long running comedian’s best punch line ever.
Even though @IAmSteveHarvey has been a comedian for decades, this may be the funniest thing he has ever done. #MissUniverse2015

A few others suggested how Miss Colombia was probably feeling in the moment.

Still, others said that Harvey did the pageant a favor.
I didn't even know. It took Steve Harvey to make it relevant again. https://t.co/T3LEn7zm79 — Ronke Lawal (@ronkelawal) December 21, 2015
One went as far as comparing it to Kanye West’s huge VMA moments when he told Taylor Swift that Beyonce deserved the Video Of The Year award for that year.

Of course it was only a matter of time before paternity test guru Maury Povich was channeled in the mix as well.
