It's nice to maybe funny this time?

Does Romney mean to say "it's not only nice, but also probably funny this time?"

Context:

Governor Romney, you won the toss. You go first.
ROMNEY: Thank you, Bob. And thank you for agreeing to moderate this debate this evening. Thank you to Lynn University for welcoming us here. And Mr. President, it's good to be with you again. We were together at a humorous event a little earlier, and it's nice to maybe funny this time, not on purpose. We'll see what happens.

He really said "… and it's nice to maybe be funny this time not on purpose."

I can't tell you what it means, because I have no idea. It's just nervous gab, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
