LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Host Steve Harvey got the winner wrong in Sunday's Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas Sunday night.

Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was already wearing the crown as this year's Miss Universe winner when host Steve Harvey returned to apologize.

Harvey said it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was this year's winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up.
