WASHINGTON, Dec 26, 2015 (AFP) - Steve Harvey, the man who famously gave the Miss Universe crown to the wrong contestant, has now offered the world Easter greetings -- on Christmas Day.

"Merry Easter, y’all!" ran the caption to a picture of smiling Harvey, smoking a cigar and flashing a peace sign. The picture was posted Friday on Harvey’s social media accounts.
