Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines, will crown the Miss Universe 2016 winner this Sunday. This will be the second year that that the pageant will be held late, as Wurtzbach has been the reigning Miss Universe for over a year now.
On November 3, 2016, it was officially announced by the Miss Universe Organization that the Philippines will host the 2016 Miss Universe pageant. The pageant is handled and organized by the DOT, MOU, and LCS Group of Companies.
To further promote the program, Journey to the Crown: A Celebration of Beauty was aired November 6, 2016 on ETC in the Philippines. If you don’t want to miss out on Miss Universe 2016, then tune into FOX at 7:00 p.m. EST on January 29. Ashley Graham and Steve Harvey will be the hosts of the show.
The President of the Philippines was a little hesitant about Steve Harvey hosting the pageant, due to his major slip-up at the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant. If you don’t remember (or live under a rock) Steve Harvey announced the wrong name for the winner of the 2015 Miss Universe title. However, once reasoning behind the error was revealed, all reservations were squandered.
