During one story, about a woman who gave birth at age 67, he seemingly acknowledged the recent backlash by addressing NBC’s standards.

“The birth set a record for ‘Most Friction.’ See, you guys don’t realize this but that joke took me like four hours to write. I had much better punchlines but the fellas at NBC standards said they were all too dirty,” he told the crowd.

“Like, at first I was gonna say, ‘I hope that kid likes his milk chalky!’ But they said, ‘You can’t say that on TV.’ It was my second favorite punchline! My first favorite being, ‘She can breastfeed just by standing over the crib.’ That’s a pretty good one, right? But NBC said, “Too gross,’” he went on to say.

He then said a joke that would be “too gross” would be “if I said, ‘Doctors described the birth as pulling a penny out of a wad of gum. Now that is too gross. Even I wouldn’t tell that joke on TV.”
