And when someone edits that part off? What then?

What then? That person may be held liable for whatever crime you believe was committed.

The comedy special not only prefaced the show with multiple disclaimers, but also jokes about it during the special.

If someone wants to edit it to be deceptive, then that's on them.

The creator would have nothing to do with it.
