Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 494,624 views on Sunday, 15 January 2023 our article of the day is Miss Universe 2022.
Miss Universe 2022 was the 71st Miss Universe pageant, held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States on January 14, 2023. Harnaaz Sandhu of India crowned R'Bonney Gabriel of the United States as Miss Universe 2022. It is the United States' first victory in 10 years, and the ninth victory of the country - the most by any country in the pageant's history.
Contestants from 84 countries and territories competed in this year's pageant. The competition was hosted by Jeannie Mai and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo; Culpo last served as host during Miss Universe 2020, while Mai last served as backstage correspondent during Miss Universe 2014. Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Zuri Hall served as backstage correspondents. This marks the first time in a 70-year history to have an all-female presenting panel. This was the first edition of the pageant to be held under the ownership of Thailand-based JKN Global Group, which purchased the Miss Universe Organization from WME/IMG on October 26, 2022. The competition was the first event since 1954 not to be televised in any major American television network, but it would air on the streaming provider The Roku Channel as the official broadcaster of the show for the first time. It was also the first Miss Universe event to be aired by JKN Global Group's television networks, JKN18 and JKN-CNBC as the pageant's official broadcaster for Thailand where the expanded headquarters of Miss Universe Organization is located.
