Steve Harvey gave Terrence J a very important lesson before the 2016 Miss USA pageant. The 59-year-old host wanted to make sure that the 34-year-old actor, who hosted the beauty contest, wouldn't make a terrible mistake like he made during the 2015 Miss Universe.
The two poked fun at Steve's now-infamous blunder in a short video. The clip featured Steve training Terrence backstage. Steve gave Terrence an envelope and asked him to announce the winner, but he warned him not to say the word Columbia.
"First thing I would tell you is no matter what happens, under no circumstances do you say Miss Colombia," Steve told Terrence. "Just don't go nowhere near it. Don't mention Colombia, period. Coffee, nothing."
When Terrence said that the winner was Miss Columbia, Steve yelled, "What'd I just say? I said, 'don't say Miss Colombia.' I don't care if they handed you the card! They handed me the card! I said, when they hand you the card, don't say 'Miss Colombia.' Just listen to me Terrence, don't say it," Steve continued.
Steve came under fire last year after he mistakenly announced Miss Columbia Ariadna Gutierrez as Miss Universe 2015. Ariadna already received the sash and the crown before Steve confessed his mistake and clarified that the winner was Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
