Steve Harvey set to host Miss Universe 2016
The Miss Universe folks just put an end to
speculation that they’ll never hire Steve
Harvey again after he announced the wrong
winner on Sunday.
In an interview today on Jim Rome’s CBS
Sports Radio Show, Mark Shapiro, chief
content officer for “Miss Universe” owners
WME | IMG, said the “Family Feud” host was
“very remorseful” about the error and that
Harvey was “absolutely” welcome back to
host the 2016 pageant in Belize.
Shapiro said Harvey “did a great job. He was
funny, he was informative, he’s high energy,
he’s got a great following… 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.”
The Belize Tourism Board is also hoping
Harvey will return as host, stating it was
impressed with the way he handled himself
after the mistake and that it disagreed with
speculation that the incident could slam the
door on his future hosting opportunities.
Dear @IAMSteveHarvey , we all make
mistakes. You handled yours with class.
Would you host our next pageant?
