He was slightly different obviously, he wasn't an O'Reilly character, but I don't think he was as different as people expected him to be. The show was still very eccentric and weird. The whole bit with the evil spirit was super weird, which is why I can see some people being completely lost and changing the channel back to Fallon, who is way more mainstream.
And he did a better job with the Jeb interview than any other late night host probably would. Colbert will have to score points there because he's a way better interviewer than Fallon.
