LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Despite the blunder committed by host Steve Harvey in crowning the wrong Miss Universe, the comedian and game show host will be coming back next year in Belize and several more years after that.

WME/IMG, the new owners of the Miss Universe Organization, said that they have no choice — Harvey signed a multi-year contract to host the annual international beauty pageant.

A source close to production tells Entertainment Tonight (ET) that the 58-year-old Family Feud host signed a multi-year contract to host Miss Universe just days before the pageant aired Sunday, and that his paycheck is “more than they’ve ever paid before for a host.”

The source says the deal is for at least three years, possibly even as many as six or seven.

But not to worry, WME/IMG has taken steps to prevent a repeat of this year’s pageant fiasco.

In future editions of contest, the new Miss Universe will not be crowned for at least four minutes following the final announcement by Harvey.  During that time, the top three finalists will be shown the cue card which contains the names/countries of the 2nd runner-up, 1st runner-up and Miss Universe. Once all three have confirmed the results, they will all give a thumbs up.  Only then will the crown be placed on the head of the new Miss Universe.

All’s well that ends well.
