  • Steve Harvey to Welcome Miss Colombia and Miss Universe to His Show Monday and Tuesday

    Steve Harvey will welcome Miss Colombia and Miss Universe as guests on The Steve Harvey Show on Monday and Tuesday of next week, in a two-episode special called Miss Universe: The Truth.

    Harvey served as host of the Miss Universe Pageant back on December 20, and inadvertently crowned Miss Colombia–Ariadna Gutierrez–the winner, when in fact, Miss Philippines–Pia Wurtzbach–won.

    “This has caused a lot of sleepless nights for me,” Steve Harvey says in a promo clip for next week’s shows. “I didn’t do any interviews until I could talk to the two people who were affected the most, Pia and Ariadna. No matter how tough it was for me, I can’t imagine how it was for these two women. This finally gives me a chance to have a moment of closure.”

    Those sleepless nights might also have been caused–in part, anyway–to Steve Harvey and his family receiving death threats for the mistake he made while hosting the Miss Universe Pageant.

    In Monday’s episode, the real Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach, tells Steve Harvey she forgives him for initially crowning someone else the winner.

    “Don’t beat yourself up for this anymore. Let’s move forward, let’s just be happy,” the new Miss Universe says.

    In the second part of the special, Ariadna Gutierrez, the reigning Miss Colombia, talks about how Steve Harvey’s mistake has affected her. She also talks about whether or not she is ready to forgive the pageant host.

    Kudos to Steve Harvey for taking the high road in this unfortunate situation. The man made an honest mistake. He certainly shouldn’t be the victim of death threats.

    Hopefully by hosting both Miss Universe and Miss Colombia on The Steve Harvey Show, the entire situation can finally be put to rest.

  • Miss Universe Pageant Exec Hopes Steve Harvey Will Return as Host Next Year Despite Gaffe

    A Miss Universe Pageant executive said on a radio show Tuesday that he hopes Steve Harvey will return as pageant host next year, despite his mistake in naming the wrong contestant the pageant winner.

    Sunday night’s pageant has received more press about the Family Feud host’s gaffe than about the new Miss Universe–Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

    It was Sunday evening when Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia was the winner of the Miss Universe Pageant. The trouble was, Miss Colombia didn’t win. That meant Steve Harvey had to return to the stage, admit his mistake, and announce the real winner–Miss Philippines–of the pageant.

    On Tuesday, Mark Shapiro, the chief content officer of WME IMG (the company that owns the Miss Universe Organization), said he would love to see Steve Harvey return as host next year.

    “He was funny, he was informative, he’s high energy, he’s got a great following,” Shapiro said of the comedian and host of The Steve Harvey Show. “I definitely want him back, and I would hate to see him not come back. He’s going to want a shot to redeem himself.”

    Steve Harvey no doubt still feels terrible about announcing the wrong woman as the Miss Universe winner. He took to Twitter to apologize–a couple of times.

    Harvey then attempted to sway focus away from him and on the the Miss Universe contestants.

    Steve Harvey hasn’t yet formally addressed his boo boo in the media. Do you expect he will return as next year’s Miss Universe Pageant host?

    Even Donald Trump, who no longer owns the Miss Universe company, believes Steve Harvey deserves a break.

  • Ellen DeGeneres, Steve Harvey Team Up to Produce New Comedy/Variety Show

    Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey have teamed up to produce a new comedy/variety show, and NBC is almost sold.

    Tentatively titled Little Big Shots, the show will showcase young, gifted performers, including musicians and dancers (pint-size break-dancers a la The Ellen DeGeneres Show), who will all chat with Steve Harvey in conversations and interviews.

    Ellen DeGeneres has plenty of experience turning young talent into big stars. Who doesn’t love young Brits Rosie and Sophia Grace? Steve Harvey’s talk show features a segment called ‘Extraordinary Kids.’

    If ever a dream team for promoting kid’s talent was created–then here it is with Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey.

    Little Big Shots will start off with eight hour-long episodes. NBC bigwigs are expected to tout the project when it presents its 2015-16 primetime schedule to media buyers in New York on Monday, May 11th.

    Can’t you see Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey creating something really amazing with this new show? They both have the perfect balance of humor and business–plus a real love of children.

    Hopefully NBC will say a resounding ‘Yes!’ to this new project and fans will soon enjoy yet another production from Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey.
