I actually watched the episode tonight (I'm a day behind because I always watch it on Hulu), and it went about as well as could be expected. There was a little back and forth with Colbert's usual humor style. Because of his Report character always going over the top when backing something, I think Sarkeesian came out ahead for most viewers but not horrendously so. There's just no way to get any depth in this format, but at least both sides were there.
I don't really think there's much chance to see a GG supporter interviewed. There aren't many that have ridden the publicity wave well enough to get invited and there aren't many episodes of the Report left so I think it would be difficult for the network to justify two episodes to the topic unless this turns out to be a very slow news week. Remember this is more comedy than news show.
