Model Daisy Fuentes and Access Hollywood
Correspondent Billy Bush to Co-Host the 52nd Annual Miss USA Pageant.
 NEW YORK, March 17 -- Actress and model
Daisy Fuentes and Billy Bush, host
of Let's Make a Deal & Access Hollywood correspondent, will host the MISS USAŽ 2003
competition to be broadcast live from San Antonio, Texas on March 24, 2003, announced by
Paula M. Shugart, President, the Miss Universe Organization today. The competition will be
televised by the NBC Television Network (9 pm ET/delayed PT).
"The 52nd annual MISS USA competition will be a classy, elegant, primetime event," said Shugart. "We have all of the elements for great television; glamorous girls, a great
location and a truly competitive pageant."
Shauntay Hinton, Miss USA 2002, will crown her successor at the conclusion of the two-hour primetime telecast,
before an estimated worldwide viewing audience of more than 200 million. Each contestant from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be judged in three categories, including swimsuit,
evening gown and personality interview.
In addition, Burn the Floor, one of the hottest, sexiest and the most entertaining theatrical dance sensations on the world stage, will perform during the telecast. In 2002,
Burn the Floor set box office records with its sell out seasons in Tokyo's International Forum and Osaka's Jo Hall, with 45,000 tickets sold in Osaka in five hours. In the United States over
250,000 people, across 23 cities, saw performances of Burn the Floor.
The Miss Universe Organization, producers of the MISS UNIVERSEŽ, MISS USAŽ and MISS TEEN USAŽ Pageants, is a Donald J. Trump and National Broadcasting Company, Inc. (NBC)
partnership. Utilizing its nationwide grass roots infrastructure, the Miss Universe Organization is committed to increasing awareness of breast and ovarian cancers. By forging relationships with
organizations committed to research and education, such as the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, Gilda's Club and the National Alliance
