FWIW, people are not that comfortable here exhibiting that free speech.
A lot of the interest comes from seeing how far comedians can go without the much more powerful government doing something we don't agree with happening to them. Usually, if the government wanted, there is some way to make anybody's life miserable.
It is still very easy to piss off powerful people, even though it isn't a routine thing where everyone is afraid of criticizing. People aren't afraid of criticizing.

Btw, Wisecrack did an interesting episode on News by comedians recently[1] which goes bit deeper on the history and where it is now.
