He played coy at first, but then owned up to intentionally trolling the fanbase.
Honestly, more showrunners should do that more often.

There is a Discovery Klingon in the most recent episode of Strange New Worlds at the 36:39 mark.
A DSC Klingon? I know they put that DSC shuttle in there that looks like an enormous dragonfly but I didn’t see a Klingon in there. Was it one of the zombies or skeletons?
Looked like a TNG-style to me.
No, not at all. If Picard was sterile and knew about it, he wouldn't feel any potential responsibility to carry on the family line. He just never cared for children and chose not to have any. When his brother Robert married and had a son, he was relieved that the Picard family name would still carry on without him. And when Robert and Rene died, Picard knew that he was unlikely to ever have a child of his own.
Ahhhh, I never saw him admit to the trolling.
I think the Discovery Klingon on "Lower Decks" was just suppose to be joke. Granted most people who claim it proves Discovery isn't canon are also just making jokes. Heck even people who don't mind the idea of the show not being part of canon understand most of "drama" is just people making jokes.
Yeah, remember all the Harry Kims? Most were the same, just one had gotten promoted.
Everything that gets onscreen is canon, unless it's reset. And even then you could figure that when something is removed from an alternate timeline, something else is added to replace it so the whole thing doesn't collapse. Who knows? It's fun to believe different things.
All three Klingon looks are canon and coexisted in-universe.
The Disco Klingons turning up in Lower Decks doesn't prove that they only exist in an alternate timeline, but it does prove that they exist somewhere. By which I mean, they're not a visual reinterpretation of regular Klingons. But Strange New Worlds has shown Disco's Klingon War with regular looking Klingons.
So either all three Klingon looks have existed in the Prime Timeline and it just hasn't been explained yet, or Discovery is from the universe where Klingons look like that.

This.
Well, we know why two of the looks exist. ENT explained the Augment Klingons. DSC is a little more complicated, but wouldn't require much more than a brief onscreen explanation in the form of a throwaway line.
Like the “northern” and “southern” Romulans. Quick, easy, simple, accepted, done and moving on.
"Oh, they tried to fix the first problem....which resulted in a second problem."
The Discovery makeup redesign on the Klingons is just that: a redesign. It's not something that needs an explanation, nor would trying to do so add anything meaningful to the narrative.
TOS' 'human Klingon' design didn't need to be explained either, but the decision to do so at least added to the lore.

Enterprise provides more than sufficient explanation.
[TAPS THE SIGN]
What issues did using the Augment Virus to exp!ain TOS' 'human Klingons' create vis a vis continuity?
In fact the Augment Virus solves all Klingon makeup changes if there have been unsuccessful attempts to fix it via genetic engineering or surgery. It's the explanation that keeps explaining.
