Now that the said deal has ended, he will be replaced by Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo and Emmy award-winning producer/host Jeannie Mai Jenkins! The two will be hosting the 71st Miss Universe Telecast which will be streaming on the Roku Channel live from New Orleans on January 14, 7 p.m. ET. (January 15, 8 a.m. in PH time).

In an earlier Variety report, Miss Universe Organization CEO Amy Emmerich said that her goal was “to make sure we led with a female lens this next go-around.” Her vision seems to have come to light with the recent confirmation of Miss Universe 2022 coronation night hosts. “With Culpo as a successful former title holder and Jeannie’s work in redefining what it means to be a working mother, both women are true examples of the momentum the Miss Universe Organization is building,” the CEO reportedly said in a statement.
Joining the pair as backstage commentators for the coronation night are Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and American Ninja Warrior co-host and actress Zuri Hall.
