Steve Harvey is back to host Miss Universe after the winner mistake that took place in 2015. Miss Universe 2015 was filled with hilarious jokes and fun elements but one thing that everyone still remembers is the blunder by Harvey. Towards the end, Harvey was given the envelope in which the name of the winner and runner ups was given. 

Unfortunately, Harvey announced the first runners up as the winner of the crown and it was given to the wrong contestant. Luckily, he was able to correct his mistake soon but that did not make him immune from the wrath of all the angry fans. However, there were quite a few who made fun of the incident. 

Despite the 2015 Miss Universe gaffe, Harvey is all set to make his comeback on the competition. To make things lighter Harvey decided to recall the incident that took place a couple of years ago. Harvey joked that he could not believe he was asked to come back again as the host for this year's Miss Universe. 

The audience laughed at the joke and hinted that they haven't forgotten what had happened either. Harvey added that "when you fall, get up and go again," indicating that it was time for people to move on from what had happened in the past. To end the discussion once and for all, Harvey added, "Colombia has gotten over it too." 

While Harvey sure is not looking back at what had happened, fans are wondering how the show is going to be now that he is back again as the host. "Surprised they let Steve Harvey host, Miss Universe, again," wrote one. 

Another added, "I love that Steve Harvey is like the official host of miss universe ever since he announced the wrong girl for the winner. Prime example of how bad things can work for the better."
