I suppose you could argue Jon Stewart is, which is compelling, but misses the point, which is that whatever anyone thinks of Louis CK, he's "moving the needle" right now.
There are no inheritors of George Carlin's honest in your face social/political relevant comedy.

Just because he joked about murdering your own children doesn't mean he is edgy. He is a more "honest" comedian than the current comedians but he's not even to the level of a Robin Williams, little own Carlin.

Stewart is currently the most socially/politically significant comedian on the planet. But, he usually just mocks and points out the hypocrisy of his targets. It's still not the warts and all approach of Carlin.
