I guess it depends on the guest.
Whitney Cummings had a better ad-lib with Chris D'Elia during the East Coast feed last night. They may have actually tried to get them to tone it down, but when Chris didn't feed her the same straight line about "man-parts" she couldn't come back with the joke about having more balls and Chris couldn't get a scared look and whisper "Please don't get THIS show cancelled too." So she went straight to "Don't piss me off or I'll get this show cancelled too." It got a good laugh, but I think the original was better.
She also kind of beat a dead horse with the reference(S) to Brent Morin's Netflix special. Which was even more tired considering they've made that joke in an earlier episode. Both feeds kind of messed up the opening credits where she ran from lead character to lead character in the audience. In the East Coast feed, she didn't make it to all of them in time and in the West Coast, she grabbed the Title Card at the end and the cameraman thought she was going to the last character and waited too long on them for her to show up so they missed the Title Card (you could see her holding it in the background right at the end).
I still love watching both feeds though.

I watched only the east coast feed, there was a blacked out section just as Whitney was talking about marrying a gay guy. Did they censor a joke? Maybe someone who was there will know.

Not in the West Coast feed. It could have been almost anything, but it was very short. It seemed like the 3 second delay they put in live radio as a "deadman" switch for cussing. Somebody in the audience or off-screen may have made an "objectionable noise". Either that or it was just a control room flub. I doubt it was censoring.
