Steve Harvey just can’t catch a break — and neither can Miss Philippines.
The “Miss Universe” host called out the correct winner of the Miss Universe 2019 costume contest Sunday night, but through no fault of his own, the wrong contestant was standing beside him to accept the award.
The result was a confusing situation that brought to mind his famous 2015 flub in which Harvey mistakenly announced that Miss Colombia was that year’s Miss Universe, when the prize was really intended to go Miss Philippines.
Well, there must be something about the Philippines, because the country’s representative was dragged into the drama again this year when Harvey rightfully announced that Gazini Ganados of the Philippines was the winner of the costume contest — but she was nowhere to be found on stage.

Updated At 10:07Pm Pacific: A Miss Universe pageant insider rushed to Steve Harvey’s defense Sunday night after Miss Malaysia, Shweta Sekhon [shown above], corrected the comedian on live TV, saying he had announced the wrong winner of the 2019 National Costume category.

As part of the broadcast, we also featured Miss Universe Malaysia Shweta Sekhon’s national costume,” the insider said. “Miss Sekhon wasn’t aware we’d be announcing Philippines first, so she jumped the gun when Mr. Harvey started with that news.
