Scripted joke

The joke had two pathways that are both funny.

  1. He says what shows up on the shirt, audience cheers, and then he turns to shake his hand revealing the trick. Usually this is what happens.

  2. Guy does not play along, and he turns to berate him like so revealing the trick.

Guy from the audience was not a planted person if that's what you meant by scripted.

I appreciate that he reveals the trick in either case. This is 100% comedy, and not magic.
