'unverified bit'... is not a thing.

Comedians tell jokes, they aren't news organizations that need to do fact checking.

And even if they did hold to that standard, what a crazy bad example to pick. He was correct. So you think he got 'caught' telling a joke that had true facts that hadn't been verified yet?

Comedians can tell jokes and make exaggerations, but they can't fully go out and slander. (Even if it later comes out to be true)
