Steve Harvey took the blame for perhaps the most epic beauty pageant host blunder of all time on Sunday night’s Miss Universe 2015 Pageant, but some are pointing to a backstage Snapchat video as proof the mistake may have been someone else's.
A seven-second behind-the-scenes video shows Harvey immediately after naming the wrong winner -- Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines -- pointing to a cue card and talking to an unidentified person saying: "The teleprompter said Miss Universe -- Colombia."
Snapchat is a social media platform that features user-generated short videos. The video in question looks as if it were posted on the Miss Universe Snapchat channel, but it is no longer there. It has however been shared multiple times by users, including a pageant queen from the Miss America organization, Miss Alabama Meg McGuffin, who wrote: "Watch the Miss Universe snap story ... Harvey says, "The TelePrompter said Miss Universe--Colombia"...someone in production is fired...."
Sports Illustrated writer Kenny Ducey tweeted, "Conspiracy theory #2 -- the teleprompter."
Another social media user, Taylor Ramsey, weighed in: "Teleprompter was wrong. Yes he had a card, but we all know the card is just for show ...from #Miss Universe snapchat."
Harvey immediately apologized for the mistake calling it a "human error," and apologized on Twitter.
"I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible."

Trump does not get blindsided by trivia because he has a laser eye for detail. He is notorious for seeing a spec of dust or a smear or a word in a contract.And he is relentless. Good friend, bad enemy.
The salient issue with Trump is he is a man of his word. He does not play fast and loose, but he does play hard.
I thank you for your concern but you may save your sympathy.
I realize there are so few negatives about Trump and you have so little to work with.
If you truly believe that then you have my sympathy. Not much, but some.
FOX News also reported he was drinking and gambling before the show and missed the final rehearsal.
Beauty pageants are freak shows of 6 foot tall stick chicks with flat butts and fake boobs. If you saw it, during the Miss Universe there was an act singing on stage and the girl dressed in all pink was hotter than all of the contestants. She was normal height, very pretty face and curves.
"Name the person most likely NOT to be asked to host another beauty pageant?"
Harvey is a stand-up, classy guy.
OMW! I certainly hope they get to the bottom of this soon so that I can finally get a decent night’s sleep.
I agree. His thumb was covering the lower right area.
Not so, Harvey is a POS.
Steve Harvey hosts a morning-drive radio show on an R&B station here in NYC. After George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, Steve Harvey had the black TV judge (Judge Joe?) on as a guest to discuss the outcome. Harvey paints Trayvon Martin as a saint. Harvey asks the judge his opinion and the judge responds that he is heading to Florida to be supportive of the demonstrations beatifying Trayvon Martin. Steve Harvey responds by telling the judge to somehow just get Zimmerman behind bars and the brothers will take care of the rest. The judge, to his discredit, remains silent.<
So I repeat, Steve Harvey is a POS.
I’ve seen articles about how upset the Colombians are about this “problem”. Colombia must be heaven on earth if that is the biggest problem they have.
Just spewed coffee , crap that is funny
Yep, instead of the media destroying trump, trump is destroying the media.
DDT would protect the plants from insects and result in a bumper crop.
That’s not nice. Don’t make fun of Steve, he can’t help it that he can’t read in cursive. It was not taught in the government indoctrination centers. Maybe they should have used emojis.
That, my friend, is from the unspoken ground rules between liberals and plantation blacks.
Amazingly, that is exactly what was said about Cruz in the Senate race against GOPe fav David DoWorst.
That only works for Trump.
