[Jake Rasmussen](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV8PKDKxXji67OJ816KUIug) uploaded a parody of the moment Harvey names Miss Colombia as Miss Universe, only to have to admit to his mistake on the telecast. In the above clip, Harvey announces his mistake as the _Curb Your Enthusiasm_ music starts up and the Miss Universe host stares into the crowd considering what he’s about to say. It’s as perfectly mortifying a moment as any Larry David has gone through on the HBO show, and though the video may leave you hoping for _Curb Your Enthusiasm_’s return once again, it’s well worth a watch. Ariadna Guiterrez [wrote a message online](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/22/miss-colombia-miss-universe-destiny) reacting to accidentally being named Miss Universe, which Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, actually won. The telecast was [also down in its ratings](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/21/miss-universe-ratings) compared to the previous year’s pageant. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/12/23/miss-universe-curb-your-enthusiasm-parody) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4160136/watch-miss-universe-curb-your-enthusiasm-crossover-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4160136/watch-miss-universe-curb-your-enthusiasm-crossover-parody/"},"headline":"Watch This Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Funny Miss Universe Flub And Curb Your Enthusiasm Crossover Parody","datePublished":"2015-12-23T17:10:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:28:03.700Z","description":"It makes Steve Harvey's cringe-worthy mistake as hilarious as Larry David's","url":"https://time.com/4160136/watch-miss-universe-curb-your-enthusiasm-crossover-parody/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","miss universe"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8e8dc55023977e55/698876b7428a9e6e82cd0b4b/harvey-david-crossover-2015.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jonathon Dornbush / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8e8dc55023977e55/698876b7428a9e6e82cd0b4b/harvey-david-crossover-2015.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"steve harvey and larry david crossover december 2015","caption":"steve harvey and larry david crossover december 2015","creditText":"Ethan Miller--Getty Images & Bobby Bank--WireImages / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4160136/watch-miss-universe-curb-your-enthusiasm-crossover-parody/","name":"Watch This Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Funny Miss Universe Flub And Curb Your Enthusiasm Crossover Parody"}}]}] ```
