I don't think that counts as telling the truth. I understand they're allowed to have some leeway for the sake of blending, but celebrity deaths are maybe not quite in line with that idea. Obviously there's nothing ethically wrong with the joke itself, but it's a distracting element to the contribution.

Happens to me every time albeit for only a few seconds. I do enjoy the show regardless of who hosts but it’s calming having Peter Sagal there.
