The whole bit felt kinda awkward. Wasn't delivered with the unwavering confidence he usually has.

That's quite deliberate. In the US you almost have to declare that it's a joke, by asking permission (is this funny) each time. Same goes for sarcasm. In Britain and the commonwealth eg. AUS, CAN, sarcasm is delivered deadpan, and you let the other person figure it out and laugh. In the US, it's expected that you laugh at the end of your statement to show that you were joking. Kinda sad.

His special is pretty good, but I'm biased. I enjoy his comedy.
