8. The censoring was handled differently because it was a live broadcast

There is a brief delay built into the broadcast to accommodate censoring, but it has to be handled on the fly, and cannot be so precisely placed as they can do in an edit of a prerecorded program.

And yes, typically, any feed will reflect what was broadcast. They're not typically going to go back to the original and cut a different version for youtube or whatever. And youtube does not generally make any editorial decision. CBS and/or the producers of the show are going to decide what they want to make available on youtube. As long as it doesn't break youtube's terms of service, they don't care what someone does or doesn't choose to put on their service. I suppose CBS/Late Show could choose to create an additional uncensored version for youtube, but why bother?
