Host
Emmy Award winner Steve Harvey will return as the host of Miss Universe 2016. Last year, Harvey mistakenly announced Miss Colombia as the winner of Miss Universe 2015, but minutes later he apologised and said Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach is the actual winner. This blunder had disappointed Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who was not keen on Harvey hosting the current Miss Universe. However, the official website confirmed that Harvey will host the grand finale.
Harvey will be joined by American model Ashley Graham as the host. The 28-year-old supermodel will be the backstage host of the Miss Universe competition.
Contestants and Where to watch live
This year around 86 contestants will participate in the Miss Universe beauty pageant. Miss Diva 2016 winner Roshmitha Harimurthy will represent India at the global platform of Miss Universe 2016.
The event will be aired live on FOX on January 29. The Miss Universe 2016 Facebook page will also provide the live streaming of the grand finale.
