By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

The Miss Universe Organization announced the names of the women who will be hosting the 72nd edition pageant in San Salvador.

The 2023 Miss Universe coronation ceremonies will be hosted by former EXTRA anchor Maria Menounos, alongside returning hosts Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo and award-winning media personality Jeannie Mai; who both co-hosted the Louisiana competition last January in New Orleans.

Menounos is the host of the Hand Squad podcast and has hosted on E! News as well as being a contestant on the Dancing with the Stars show. Back in 1995, she won the title of Miss Teen Massachusetts.

Reprising their roles as backstage correspondents are Zuri Hall and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.

The final show will air on Roku in the United States, with a Spanish-language broadcast on Telemundo. Locally, the Miss Universe finale will be beamed live nationwide through the Kapamilya and Metro channels, and via the IWantTFC network in Filipino communities abroad.

The 72nd Miss Universe pageant will unfold on November 18 from the Gimnio Nacional in San Salvador, El Salvador. Stay tuned!
