HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – Last year, when Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the new Miss Universe, he did not make a mistake.  So why is Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach now wearing the crown?

In a very public admission on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, Harvey insisted he could read and that he just did what he was told to do “by a man on his ear.” Furthermore, the same man said Harvey did a “good job.”

Listen to Harvey himself make this big reveal.

Harvey returns as host of the popular beauty pageant in January when Wurtzbach crowns her successor in the Philippines.

This time he promises not to listen to the man on his ear but rely on his reading skills.
