All I can see in it is the play on the word "late".
In the first mention "late" meaning along the lines of being late e.g. as in being late for an appointment, meeting or whatever.
And in the second case meaning along the lines of "the late" meaning deceased.
Maybe there is something else in it that I don't see, but if not the pun has been used so often elsewhere before that it is no longer funny; it is like hearing the same joke over and over, it gets past being funny.
