Talk show host and author, Steve Harvey continues to make amends for his Miss Universe 2015 flub.
This week, Harvey welcomes Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and the young woman he mistakenly crowned, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez, to “The Steve Harvey Show” for a two-episode special called “Miss Universe: The Truth.” In part 2 of the special, which is set to air Tuesday, January 19, the media mogul meets with Gutiérrez, 22, for an emotional conversation.
“This has caused a lot of sleepless nights for me,” Harvey says in a promo clip. “I didn’t do any interviews until I could talk to the two people who were affected the most, Pia and Ariadna. No matter how tough it was for me, I can’t imagine how it was for these two women. This finally gives me a chance to have a moment of closure.”
Harvey, 58, also revealed that his family has received death threats, causing him to fear for his children as they go out in the public. In Monday’s episode, Wurtzbach, 26, tells Harvey she forgives him for initially not crowning her the winner. “Oh, is that what you were waiting for? Don’t beat yourself up for this anymore. Let’s move forward, let’s just be happy,” she said.
Last month on live television, Harvey mistakenly crowned runner-up Gutiérrez as the winner of the Miss Universe 2015 Pageant on only to soon return to the stage to correct the mishap. The 2-day closure-fest on “The Steve Harvey Show” airs Monday, January 18 and Tuesday, January 19. Check your local listings for more information.
