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.
Right, he only really interviews people that are currently trending or popular. Too bad TB probably couldn't make it, he's both of those things.
