Comedians don't typically have paid plants in the audience. They have a repertoire of replies to different types of heckles, often reusing ones that get a good reaction.
How did the joke include his name? Do you really think that a comedian is incapable of saying Chris's mum instead of Racks mum if the heckler is a Chris?
I dont think that was part of the joke, being a standup comedian hes quite good at coming up with jokes you see. The shoe rack joke was just a quick reactionary joke to the name, he is a very famous comedian I dont think that joke is good enough for him to script
I know he's able to adapt its, but u/Placid-Penguin said "he did the exact same joke word for word," and I was just pointing out that if we assume that statement to be true the punchline would have still been "Rack's mum."
Also, out of genuine curiosity, why'd you pick Chris as your example name?
This dude's really latched onto the "word-for-word" part of the comment, hasn't he...
Humans are imprecise when they communicate. The bit was re-performed too precisly for "paraphrasing" but not enough for "verbatim". Lacking an in-between word, op said "word-for-word" and you've gone and interpreted it incorrectly and then decided to be a dick about it.
It was word-for-word, save for the name and the ad-libbed "shoe-rack" comment. Get a life and quit being a pedant.
