Steve Harvey is not done talking about Miss Universe just yet.

The 58-year-old took some time on Tuesday's Steve Harvey Morning Show to once again address his now-infamous gaffe, specifically revealing what was going on backstage right after it happened.

"All hell broke loose," Harvey described the pandemonium. "All I heard was people say, 'That's the wrong name'...and all I hear is confusion backstage."

That's when the TV host "took it upon [him]self" to fix it.

"I did what I was trained to do by my father," he said. "You make a mistake, own up to it, so I went out there and I said I made a mistake And I tried to fix it, I tried to fix it right there."

The only source of lingering regret, Harvey says, is that he's been unable to talk to Miss Colombia about the mistake.

"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," he admitted. "Now, have I tried? Yes, but have gotten not a response."

"I don't feel sorry for the pageant. The pageant will now be bigger than it's ever been," he added. "I felt for her more than me, because I haven't been waiting all my life for this moment."

"I understand if she feels that way," she said. "I think my supporters would feel the same way as well."
