Steve Harvey wishes Merry Easter on Christmas Day

American comedian Steve Harvey, whose gaffe on Miss Universe caused a worldwide online stir, posted a funny Christmas greeting on his social media pages.

"Merry Easter y'all!," the Miss Universe 2015 host posted on his Facebook and Twitter account, in apparent reference to his goof-up when he had announced Miss Colombia as Miss Universe 2015, instead of Miss Philippines.

Harvey's post got over 200,000 retweets and over 400,000 shares on Facebook.

Harvey had misread his cue card in front of a global television audience last week and initially announced that Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, had triumphed, when instead Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach had won the coveted crown, as per the cue card.
