Steve Harvey was able to laugh at himself when he hit the stage once again to host the Miss Universe pageant on Sunday night. 
 
 At last year's pageant, the 60-year-old comedian made a major blunder when he accidentally announced that Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, was Miss Universe when the crown was really supposed to go to Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. "Every time I read off a card, I pucker up just a little bit," he admitted during Sunday's show.

 The event took place in the Philippines this year and Wurtzbach addressed the host's epic flub when she joined him onstage. "Steve, I never got to thank you, but thank you for making me the most popular Miss Universe," she quipped. 
 
 "That’s okay,” Harvey responded. “I want to thank you for making me the most famous host of Miss Universe."

 Continuing to make jokes throughout the night about his gaffe, Harvey also spoke with Gutierrez about what the people of Colombia thought of him. “A lot of people hate you,” she said lightheartedly. “But you know I love you.”

 The jokes carried on until the end of the evening when an Ernst & Young accountant came onstage to give Harvey a stern warning. "Listen to me sir, this has got to be right, okay?" he quipped. "Can’t let this happen again — you will not leave the Philippines." 
 
 Adding to that, Wurtzbach returned to the stage with a thick pair of reading glasses that she handed to Harvey before he announced who would be crowned Miss Universe. “Thank you, Pia,” he said. “A year late, but thank you.” 
 
 Harvey did end up correctly announcing that Iris Mittenaere of France was the new Miss Universe.

 Steve Harvey is dropping the axe before his big move to L.A., laying off his Chicago staff after five years together, and hiring a whole new crew, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. 
 
 As Radar reported, Harvey, 60, is ending his Chicago-based syndicated daytime talk show later this month, and will be launching a whole new show in La La Land in September, simply titled Steve. 
 
 Many current staffers were willing and prepared to make the move with their leader, trading deep dish and snow for Dodger Dogs and sunshine, but according to an insider, they won’t get that chance.

 “He didn’t offer interviews to many people who have been with him since beginning, and hurt lots of people who would move on their own to LA to be part of the new show,” one staffer told Radar. “Steve never even addressed the staff about it. He never said a word about them all losing their jobs. These are die-hard loyal staff members.” 
 
 Harvey didn’t even have the class to reveal the news himself, but rather made one of his underlings deliver the career death blow, the insider claimed. 
 
 “The staff were told by the Executive Producer, not Steve,” the insider said. “The EP said that Steve would talk to them and then he never did. Not even an email saying ‘thanks for what you do’, or ‘good luck.'”

 Other insiders say Harvey, who already commutes from Chicago to Hollywood to host other shows like Little Big Shots, was getting sick of all the travel. 
 
 “Steve likes the weather better in LA,” a source said.

 “As I embark on this new adventure, I’m excited to explore everything Los Angeles has to offer for this new show,” Harvey says in the release. “STEVE is going to be different than my current daytime show. The new location will allow me to welcome more celebrity guests and more importantly, let me do what I enjoy doing best, being funny!” 
 
 But his departure from Chicago, and his loyal employees, has left no one laughing, according to the staffer. 
 
 “The only contact the staff has heard about the show moving to L.A. with Steve was an email sent at the beginning of year that basically said not to stop him in the office, that he was too busy to talk.” 
 
 Harvey’s reps did not immediately respond to Radar’s request for comment.

 Steve Harvey is moving his daytime talk show to Los Angeles this fall, but his new staff may not want to expect a sunny welcome from the host — at least, if his past communication is any indication of his attitude toward his staffers. 
 
 A memo that was sent from Harvey to his staff surfaced earlier today on Robert Feder’s Chicago media blog telling employees not to approach him. “Do not come to my dressing room unless invited….Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly,” read the memo. “Do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.” 
 
 Sources tell Variety the memo was sent to his staff in Chicago before the start of the fifth season of his former daytime talk show, “Steve Harvey,” which ran for five seasons in national syndication. Starting this fall, the revamped show will tape in Los Angeles at Harvey’s request, with a new crew. Sources say the memo may have been leaked by a former staff member, who may not have been invited to work on the new LA-based show. 
 
 Harvey’s reps did not respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

 Last year, Harvey set a new deal with NBCUniversal and IMG to launch a revamped syndicated show that would give him an ownership stake and control over the production. The past five seasons of his show were produced by Endemol Shine North America and distributed by NBCUniversal Domestic Television. With the move from Chicago to L.A., producers of the new show have noted that more celebrity guests will appear on the show, given that more talent is based in Southern California than the Midwest. 
 
 Harvey’s behavior has been subject to media attention in the past. This January, a controversial segment on his talk show poked fun at Asian men. In summer 2015, the host was trending on Twitter for a homophobic rant on his show. 
 
 Aside from the daytime show, Harvey also hosts ABC’s “Celebrity Family Feud,” NBC’s “Little Big Shots” and its spinoff series, and is attached to Fox’s upcoming “Showtime at the Apollo” revival. 
 
 Read Harvey’s full memo below:
– Steve Harvey seems like a pretty easygoing guy, right? Some of his talk show staffers might beg to differ. Someone leaked a memo Harvey sent to staffers before the fifth season of his show started in Chicago, and it includes pretty strict instructions about leaving Harvey alone. Staffers are ordered not to "stop by" or "pop in" to talk to him in his dressing room, not to even stand at the door of his dressing room unless they have an invitation, not to wait in the hallway with the intention of "ambushing" him without an appointment, and not to approach him while he's in the makeup chair unless asked by Harvey himself. Robert Feder's Chicago media blog has the memo in full. "I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day," the memo says. "Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment." After five years in Chicago, Harvey's show is moving to Los Angeles in the fall, and sources tell Variety the memo may have been leaked by a disgruntled Chicago staff member who wasn't invited to make the move to LA. (Radar Online reported last week that Harvey blindsided many staffers who didn't realize they'd be losing their jobs, replaced by a mostly new crew in LA.) Harvey's reps have not commented. (Katy Perry told her drivers not to even look at her.)
