if Catriona became gold standard when it comes to being a Miss Universe, then Steve Harvey is also a gold standard when it comes to being a Miss Universe Host.

Miss Universe really hits different with Steve Harvey as the host, the goosebumps every time he announces the finalists gives off a different energy, the way viewers could really feel the tension and excitement OLIVIA COULD NEVER! #MissUniverse

This year is the first time Harvey is not hosting the Miss Universe pageant since 2015.

For its 69th edition, the Miss Universe Organization tapped Olivia Culpo and Mario Lopez to be its main hosts.

Both Lopez and Culpo are not newbies in hosting the international pageant. Lopez has already co-hosted the same in 2007, while Culpo, who was crowned Miss Universe 2012, co-hosted the pageant’s 68th edition along with Vanessa Minnillo Lachey and Harvey in 2019.
