A bit of both I guess
Spitting out jokes about recent events like that out of the blue will sink like lead half the time, anywhere. An audience being filmed with reputations to worry about are also less likely to laugh along with controversial material. As you say, he also actually forgot to insert any humor, which is reasonably critical if you want to make people roar with mirth
