Steve Harvey isn't the first celebrity host to find himself in the middle of a beauty pageant scandal.

It was announced to a confused audience that the official winner was actually Miss Russia. A video taken backstage following Miss Costa Rica's de-crowning shows how angry the contestants were at the blunder. "This is wrong," one contestant proclaimed repeatedly.
