On Sunday night, Steve Harvey, while hosting the Miss Universe 2015 contest, announced the wrong winner.
He said the runner-up — Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez — was the winner and the crown was placed on her head. A moment later, he corrected himself and the crown was removed and instead given to Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
People took to Twitter to express their disbelief over the shocking blunder.
There were a lot of Family Feud jokes. Harvey has hosted the game show since 2010.
When you forgot you weren't hosting a game show. #MissUniverse2015
What if the wrong team has been winning Family Feud for years?
When you're hosting #MissUniverse2015 & you give the crown to the runner-up & rethink all those Family Feud episodes
You had only one job, Harvey.
I'm Done 💀#MissUniverse2015 #SteveHarvey
Well, other people acknowledged it could've been even more embarrassing.
Well at least Steve Harvey didn't mention any of this tonight at Miss Universe.
They compared Harvey's move to Kanye West's notorious 2009 interruption of Taylor Swift's win.

Although, Harvey still had a few defenders.
I'm trying to figure out why y'all think Steve Harvey cares 😂😂😂😂
Some people thought his snafu actually would make him a good candidate for other hosting gigs:
Steve Harvey should host the NFL drafts 1st round
Maybe he'd be a good GOP debate moderator.

Or maybe he could host the Westminster Dog Show.

Others were just super happy for Miss Philippines' victory.
When you thought you lost but you actually won. #MissUniverse2015
But people on Twitter also worried about how Colombia was reacting, alluding to the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar.

Good luck, Harvey.
TO STAY ALIVE, LETS SEE COLUMBIA! #MissUniverse2015
But maybe it's not too late to say sorry now.
Is it too late now to say sorry? 😂#MissUniverse2015 #SteveHarvey
