Craig Ferguson Isn't Buying Aaron Eckhart's Story of a Rattlesnake Coiling on His Foot (VIDEO)

You'd think Craig Ferguson would be a bit more excited about a rattlesnake story, considering his rattlesnake mug and snake tattoo. Alas, as Aaron Eckhart learned on 'The Late Late Show' (Weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), the comic can be a bit cynical at times.He took that cynicism to new heights with Eckhart's story. Let's review the story.
"I was doing a movie in New Mexico. I was running up a slope or something. I bent down to get some breath, and there was a rattlesnake coiling on my foot."
Sounds reasonable, right? There are rattlesnakes in New Mexico. He could have easily disturbed one by running up on it. But that was enough for Ferguson to start calling shenanigans.
"What do you mean you bent down to get some breath?" He interrupted. "How high was this hill you were running up? It was so high you went out of the Earth's atmosphere and you had to bend down to get a breath?"
He then proceeded to start breaking down the entire story as presented so far, until Eckhart shut him down and demanded he be allowed to tell the story the way he wants to tell it.
"All right, tell the story," Ferguson acquiesced.
"I just did," Eckhart said. He probably knew any further details would be scrutinized just as unreasonably.
