Our morning man Steve Harvey is responding to his critics after another snafu at this years Miss Universe competition.

According to Entertainment Weekly, during the Miss Universe competition on Sunday (December 9th) Harvey announced the wrong contestant as the National Costume Contest winner.

Before announcing the winner of Miss Universe, Harvey revealed the winner of the costume contest was Philippines and as the crowd cheered the woman looked confused then asked for the mic and corrected him saying she was actually representing Malaysia.

Of course Harvey wasn't too pleased about the mishap and blamed the teleprompter,

Okay, well, let me explain something to you. I just read that in the teleprompter. Y’all got to quit doing this to me. I can read, they said now, they’re trying to fix it now. See, this what they did to me back in 2015. Played me short like that. This is Malaysia. I really love this national costume of Malaysia. This is crazy.

Since the incident Harvey had received criticism about making a joke about the 'Cartels' not forgiving him over the mistake back in 2015 and took to his Twitter to set the record straight.

This is Harvey's fifth time hosting the pageant and everybody remembers the mishap in 2015 when Harvey announced Miss Colombia Arianda Gutierrez the winner when in fact it was Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines.

However, congrats to Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzii as the 2019 Miss Universe Winner.
