Steve Harvey Dodges Blame for Miss Universe Mistake

More than a year and a half after he infamously announced the wrong Miss Universe’s name, Steve Harvey is once again defending himself.

"I took a bullet for a lot of people and I'm a bright guy," Harvey, 60, told Us Weekly and other reporters during the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday, August 3. "I can read and I can hear. I read and I did what I was told to do."
