Steve Harvey Announced Wrong Winner in Miss Universe Pageant [VIDEO]

There are mistakes and then there's the Miss Universe pageant where the wrong winner was crowned. Host Steve Harvey named Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez this year's winner. She was actually the first runner up. Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach was announced as the first runner up, but she was the real winner. OOPS!

An apology was posted after the major gaffe on national television.
