Miss USA premiere show was held at the Long Beach, California. The very first woman to win the title was a red head Jackie Loughery from New York. The total number of contestants was thirty. For about two decades after its inauguration, only a few states had its contestant in the show, however, as of 1979, each state has a representative in the competition. Gradually, different states started participating, for instance, Alaska had its beauty contestant participating for the very first time in 1959 and Hawaii got into the show in 1960.
Miss USA’s current owner is the billionaire Donald Trump. Trump is a business man as well as an author. He owns Trump Entertainment Resorts and runs The Trump Organization. Because of his out spoken personality and appearance in the show The Apprentice by NBC, he has become a well known celebrity among the masses. He was included on number 17 in Forbes’ list of hundred richest celebrities. He bought the Miss USA pageant from its previous owners in 1996, and currently has its complete rights.
Miss USA pageant airs on Xbox Live and was taken to NBC as well in 2003. In the past, it has been aired on CBS for about four decades. John Charles Daly was the host of the show from 1963 to 1966. Bob Barker took over from 1967 to 1987. Bob Goen hosted it from 1994 to 1996. In 1980’s, the show witnessed its highest ratings when it managed to top Neilson ratings. Because of the failing viewership, the owner Donald Trump moved half of the organization’s ownership to NBC in 2002, which improved things quite a lot.
