'reportedly prohibited joker having as' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'prohibited' becomes 'banned' (synonyms).
'joker' becomes 'wag' (I've seen this before).
'having as' becomes 'on' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'banned' is a homophone of 'band'.
