What does 'live to tape' mean?

Live to tape is if something happens, if something isn't right, you just go with it. It essentially has that danger and that energy of a live show. If a mistake is made, instead of stopping and redoing it, especially in front of a live audience, the audience has heard the joke already. What are you going to do? Are you going to redo the thing and expect to get a natural reaction? I'm not a big fan of it.
