-Welcome back, everybody. We're hanging out with Katie Holmes!
She stars in the new play "The Wanderers,"
which begins previews January 26th.
Now, Katie, when you're acting in a play,
there's usually -- backstage before the show,
you do some vocal exercises and practice,
so I thought we'd have a fun game and put your skills
to the test in a new game we call "Fast Talkers."
Here we go.
-♪ Fast Talkers ♪
♪ Talking so fast, Fast Talkers ♪
-Now, here's how this works.
We're going to draw a card from this pile, okay?
Each one has a tongue twister on it.
And we're gonna have to say the tongue twister
as many times as we can in 10 seconds.
Whoever says it the most times, wins.
You ready for this? -Okay.
-Alright. -Wait.
Do we do it at the same time? -No.
-Okay. Got it.
-Do you wanna? -You go first.
-Okay. Alright. Oh, okay, alright.
So we have to say it. But I'll go first.
I have to say, "Who do you think is in Hoobastank?"
As many times as I can in 10 seconds.
Alright. 10 seconds on the clock.
-You got it. -I'm gonna go for it.
-Do it. -Ready?
Who do you think is in Hoobastank?
[ Buzzer ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughter ]
-You okay?
[ Applause ]
-Thank you so much. Thank you. Wow.
I didn't think that was gonna take that much out of me.
Okay. -How many was that?
-I don't know. How many was that, for the record?
12! That's amazing!
I can't say the word "amazing" that many times in 10 seconds.
Alright.
Katie Holmes, here's your first tongue twister.
Whenever you're ready. -Go?
-Once you start, we'll start. -Oh, okay.
-Who do you think is in Hoobastank?
Who do you think is in Hoobastank?
[ Buzzer ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Was that wrong? -No.
At one point -- I don't know if it was right.
It was so good. But at one point you're like --
[ Speaking incoherently ]
I wanted to be like, "Who was there eating the tuba steak?"
Alright. How many did Katie get there?
11! Oh, my gosh. Ooh, it's a game.
It's a game. -Oh, my. Okay.
-It's a game. -Okay.
-Alright, now it's a game. Here we go.
I'll take the win on that first one.
Alright. The second one is now a longer tongue twister.
We can see how many times we can say this in 10 seconds.
-You're really good at this. -This is -- Thank you.
[ Laughter ]
Can I turn this into a talent?
I don't know what -- There's got to be money to be made.
Alright, this one is,
"Did you see Taylor Swift hop off a ski lift?"
[ Laughter ]
Alright. 10 seconds on the clock. Here we go.
Did you see Taylor Swift hop off a ski lift?
[ Laughter ] Hop off a ski lift?
Did you see Taylor Swift hop off a ski lift?
Did you see Taylor Swift -- [ Buzzer ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
I started sounding weird.
Like, I started saying, "Hah-pahf."
"Did you see Taylor Swift hah-pahf?"
-"Hah-hah-hah-pahf."
-"Did you see Taylor swift hah-pahf?"
How many did I get? -I thought it was a choice.
-You thought it was a choice? No, it wasn't.
6? -Alright.
-This one's a toughie. Alright. Good luck to you.
-Thank you. -Yeah. You're welcome.
-Ready? -Mm-hmm.
-Did you see Taylor Swift hop off a ski lift?
Did you see Taylor Sqwift -- [ Laughter ]
Hop off a T -- a ski lift?
Did you see Taylor Swift hop off a ski lift?
Five. That was only five. -I think that was good.
Actually we should give her one there, too,
'cause I think we started a little late there.
Can we give -- I think we give a bonus one to --
Yeah? I think it's a tie.
-Really? -I think.
Judges? -Yeah!
[ Bell dings ]
-Yeah. -Alright.
-Yeah, we started a little early. That was great.
-You're invited to Thanksgiving now.

Whoever gets this... -Alright. Okay.
-...has bragging rights of the fastest talker.
-Alright, okay. -Whew. 10 seconds on the clock.
I have to say...
"Megan won the Mega Millions,
which is major cuz it means she's makin' bacon."
[ Laughter ]
Let's get 10 seconds on the clock. Here we go.
Megan won the Mega Millions which is major cuz it means she's makin' bacon.
[ Buzzer ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Wow!
-I'm acting like it's something --
-Are you gonna do... -I don't know what I was doing.
Why would I be so impressed with myself on that?
-I mean, that was good.
-There's nothing to be bragging about at all.
-You're good. -How many did I get on that one?
Five! [ Cheers and applause ]
Alright, so the pressure's on. Do you want to practice one?
