Funnyman Steve Harvey wasn’t exactly smiling after his epic blunder on this Sunday night’s showing saw him announce the wrong winner of the coveted ‘Miss Universe’ crown.
Since then, the comedian/actor/talk show host has been fielding racially charged attacks on social media and endless ridicule courtesy of memes and Vine videos.
Undeterred, it looks like Harvey will have the last laugh as reports indicate viewers will be seeing his name as host once again next year:
The three-hour Fox telecast averaged 6.2 million viewers and a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49, though that was before Steve Harvey’s gaffe set the Internet on fire. Last year’s Miss Universe pageant had the fortunate distinction of airing in late January, without any NFL competition. It averaged 7.7 million viewers and a 2.0 rating in the key demo.
Despite the slip, FOX execs are expecting a boost in next year’s showing as they’ve tapped the comic-turned-talk show host to don emcee honors for the ceremony.
Ridiculous
That’s because it was all fake anyway.
Bloop! *sips on this tea*
ugh huh. miss’s wtf. hope you get better stories in 2k16 to report and cash too. tgj. 😉
Fox are not dumb. The figures will go up just for people to tune in more after his fk up.
Glad he gets to redeem himself because the competition will partly be all about him in the build as they hype his mistake and see a rise in figures
Smart way to pull in attention for more viewers next time!
People are going Ham at him also people did the meme video of him too
Racism is alive and well in 2015.
We expect this from White Trash and White upper class who have money but have not CLUE where they originate from.
The spanish minority who are so quickly to call Steve a N_gga or M***** need to check there bloodline — they are AFRICAN also. But what do you expect when they have little to no education and put so much stock in a beauty contest 99.9% of the rest of the world doesnt give a F_u_ck about
So basically it was all a publicity stunt for ratings lol.
I have loss all respect for Steve Harvey. I watched his shows every day,NO MORE.
He can let crooked evil Hillary witch his show,Yeah right.
Bye bye, I just hope others follows me.
