Greta Van Susteren Jokes Lay-Overs, Talks Murdoch On "Craig Ferguson" (VIDEO)

Greta Van Susteren appeared on the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Wednesday night, where she joked about getting "laid-over" in St. Louis and admitted that she's only met Rupert Murdoch one time.

Van Susteren told Ferguson that she raided his green room for toiletries — and didn't know whether her shirt was black or blue — due to her hectic travel schedule and a bad packing job, which prompted the two to talk travel.

"You ever been to St. Louis?" Ferguson asked.

"Yeah, of course, I've been laid-over in St. Louis," Van Susteren said, to Ferguson's amusement.

"You've been laid-over in St. Louis six times?" he asked. "Why, Greta, you surprise me!"

Van Susteren would later say she's only met News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch once in her eight years at Fox News.

"I met Ted Turner a couple times when I worked [at CNN], but I've only met Rupert Murdoch once," Van Susteren said.

Ferguson asked if Murdoch was like "The Simpsons" character Mr. Burns.

did they discuss her Scientology beliefs and that her husband is Sister Sarah's mentor and lawyer who set up her PAC's?

All this talk of her appearance is a distraction from the real problem with Greta.

It's her vile opinions and shoddy journalism which deserve attention.

Greta is to Botox, as Rudy is to 911 .....

I thought she had Bells Palsy when she was 24 and never fully recovered.

But hey - botox - sure.

Oh and yes, I'll admit I'm not hip enough to keep up with HP, I thought making fun of people with palsy was wrong.

Who is she? Is she known for doing anything?

She has a show on Fox news that is supposed to take away the unpleasant aftertaste of Hannity, but it's the same discourteous guests and blowhard columnists that are routine for Fox. When she worked for CNN her jaw was jutting the opposite direction.

Love how Craig disses her for being a lawyer! "And it was going so well..."

[shirleyfeeney]

This is in reference to Craig being subjected to a six-hour lay over in St. Louis over the weekend, which he managed to avoid by driving to Atlanta and flying to LA the next day. He went on to half-chastize Continental Airlines and praise Delta.

Classy, smart, modest woman. Love her.

[KataVideo]

so modest that she underwent f\a\c\i\a\l s\u\r\g\e\r\y to wind up looking.. w\o\r\s\e.

when studio lights hit itthe wrong way, it looks like an Army topo map of a medium-size mountain range that has been fissured. I miss the old uneven smile, eh?

her point of view is a bit wacky, though...

Craig has a great wit. Fast mind. He is a great import from the UK. Their loss, our gain. Funny, funny man.

[sviolette]

07:37 PM on 12/17/2009

He's from Scottland.

And now he's a US citizen!

She is a classy lady.... your attempt to demean her is sophmoric.

[sviolette]

07:38 PM on 12/17/2009

Yes she is classy. Too bad it's all low class.

[red33]

09:57 PM on 12/17/2009

yes, goes gagaga over Palin.

[lee4]

09:04 AM on 12/18/2009

Agree!

You have to admit her fascination with Palin is frightening. If you're a Palin fan, I'm sorry for you.

In my humble opinion, Greta is one of the least appealing commentators on television. She makes no attempt to be objective, and to a large extent, provides sycophantic validation of her like-minded political guests.

[Mosby12]

02:34 PM on 12/17/2009

Yeah... she should be more objective ... like Rachel Madow

[desertdweller]

06:02 PM on 12/17/2009

Rachel does her homework and is armed with facts, an approach unknown to Fox contributors. On the rare occasion that she makes an erroneous comment, she humbly apologizes. Her tendency not to agree with your point of view does not constitute a lack of objectivity.

mosby...you dont see the difference,really?
rachel clearly advertises herself as a progressive.there is no cover of being "fair and balanced"...greta is billed as "the fox host who isnt conservative"...yet she only has on cons. guests.

[littlepuffycloud]

01:47 PM on 12/17/2009

He should have asked...aww who cares.

[velvetundergroundfan]

01:41 PM on 12/17/2009

He should have asked her about her non-stop promoting of far-right politicians, in particular her adoration of Sarah Palin.

Craig should have also pressed her about her belief in Scientology and her fondness for plastic surgery.
