While Jamie Foxx made fun of Steve Harvey's infamous Miss Universe snafu on the Golden Globes Sunday night, Harvey is hoping to put the embarrassing episode behind him on his own syndicated talk show by having Miss Columbia on his show.
The interview is set January 19, according to Entertainment Tonight in an exclusive story.
This will be the first time the two have spoken since that night when he accidentally named Ariadna Gutierrez Miss Universe before he correcting his mistake. The winner was Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach.
He will talk to Wurtzbach on Monday's episode.
"I've had a chance to talk to Miss Philippines. I've talked to all the pageant people. I've talked to people backstage. Even me and the director had a long talk, but I haven't been able to reach out and talk to Miss Colombia," Harvey said last week on his morning talk show. "Now, have I tried? Yes, but have gotten not a response."
Clearly, after he said that, they did get in touch. "The Steve Harvey Show," heard locally on Fox 5 at 3 p.m. weekdays, is already a big hit but this episode should get some bonus viewership.
