Hi
I always forget how tall you are.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, I also got new shoes today.
Oh, those are gorgeous.
So they're kind of high.
I have those. Those are nice. Yeah.
That's what they said.
I like to add a few inches.
Yeah, that sounds weird.
(audience laughing)
Welcome to the show, thank you for coming back.
Thank you for having me.
Nice to have you here. I understand that,
you know, just before you came out,
someone said that you had kind of a rough day yesterday,
is that right? You okay now?
Well, yes.
What happened?
Well, I got up, I've been doing a lot of press
for this movie and I got up really early
and I wanted to get a run in to,
you know, calm down. Focus.
Well, it was really dark. It was really in the morning.
I didn't turn any of the lights on.
I throw on my workout clothes and I,
I didn't even have any coffee.
So I went to the little gym in the hotel.
Right
It's not a big deal. I was the only one there.
I'm running on the treadmill. Then some man comes in
and he's on the bike facing me.
Right.
So don't acknowledge him. Just keep running.
Get off. Go get some water. And I walk back in,
and I see a pair of my underwear behind the treadmill.
What?
So it had fallen off of me.
It was stuck to my pants when I went down.
Oh, oh, oh. oh!
I thought it was, came off underneath the sweat.
I was like how is that physically possible.
I think I would have felt that
I know. I was going to say what was happening,
how powerful is this treadmill?
(audience laughing)
So anyway, so it was, it was stuck to you.
It must've been stuck when I walked down.
Right
So then, and it was, it was behind the treadmill.
So the guy is still sitting there.
Right.
And it was red.
Right.
So I'm thinking, I bet he saw it.
Right
Now do I leave it here and let, you know, people find it?
Or do I somehow pick this up?
But if you try and pick it up,
you're acknowledging it's your underwear.
Exactly.
(audience laughing)
So what I decided to do,
I finished the run and I thought, I'll stretch.
Right
By the underwear.
(audience laughing)
And so, but I was, it was early in the morning.
Right
So I wasn't thinking, and I just sort of sat down
like practically on top of the underwear,
because I was so embarrassed
Right, right.
And he was right there and I'm like,
you know, going like that
kind of just stuck it in my shirt.
And then left.
I bet this guy was going insane, frankly.
(audience laughing)
I'm picturing this guy on the bike,
just watching, you know.
There's Katie Holmes underwear.
Katie Holmes is stretching now. I get it.
(audience laughing)
I don't think so.
I think so.
I know how the male mind works.
Well, I'm glad things are better now.
I have to say everybody in the office,
there's this,
again we're talking about the New York Post,
but there's this picture of you
in the New York Post today,
and everybody in the office was talking about it.
I don't know if you've even seen this yet,
but they took a picture of you
last night at this event.
And I guess to make it fit the copy,
they had to, you know,
do this stuff to your picture.
And it's really disturbing
because we all noticed this picture in the post today.
Take a look at this.
They chopped your arm off
(audience laughing)
to fit the copy.
And I know when I saw this this morning,
I thought that it was going to say like,
you know, Katie Holmes fresh from her fight
with a shark. You know.
(audience laughing)
That is bad.
I know. It's really bad. They can't do that.
They got to bend the copy. They shouldn't,
they shouldn't be messing with you.
I'll talk to them.
They respect me a great deal.
Thank you. I would appreciate it.
I'll do that.
Now, Halloween coming up soon.
We're just a couple of weeks away.
I know
I understand that you
I'll tell you about myself first.
I'm never liked dressing up in costumes.
I was too self-conscious about it.
And I looked silly enough as it is,
so I never got into it.
But you apparently really liked to go for it.
You're not afraid to be really creative
and go for great costumes. Is that true?
That's true.
I do pride myself on a good Halloween costume.
And a couple of years ago,
down in Wilmington where we shot Dawson's Creek,
we were having a big party downtown.
And so I decided to be a one night stand.
And what I did is I got a big poster board
and I put a hole in it and I,
that was my tabletop to wear
over my shoulder.
And then I put, I'm very good at fabric.
So I put the fabric on
and then I put a Cosmopolitan magazine
and like, it was picture of George Clooney
because at the time I really liked him.
And, a condom
because some people have those on their nightstands.
And then I put a,
a lamp shade on my head
and then I wore jeans. So, oh,
with a one on my right there.
So it was a one night stand.
That's very creative.
(audience laughing)
That's really creative. And that's a cool idea.
But the problem is you've got to wear that all night.
Yes. Exactly what I found to be true.
Right
A problem.
Yeah
So I end up downtown
and I'm like, yeah, ha ha one night stand.
Yeah. Great, great.
And it ended up in the Cape Fear river
Right, because
Because you can't dance and have a good time.
And the stand went,
first the lampshade and then the stand
Right. Right.
I don't know know what happened
That's why I like. I like a costume that doesn't,
there's not much concept to it. It's like,
I'm just wearing a suit.
And I say, I'm an insurance broker, you know,
(audience laughing)
but then when it comes time to bust out the moves,
I'm uninhibited. You know what I mean?
(audience laughing)
Right. Right. I know.
I'm sorry. I just horrified you with the dance moves.
I'm sorry.
(audience laughing)
Oh no. That's okay.
That's why my, it was George Clooney's picture
and not mine.
You're, you're going to be in this new Batman movie I heard.
Yes
And what's exciting about that is
every time they come out with a new Batman movie,
everyone's excited about the new Bat mobile.
And I heard you got to ride in it.
Yes. I'm a very privileged young girl.
And I did, you know, first I saw the Bat mobile move,
you know, turn on the lights and everything.
And before I got to ride in it
and just the sound of it,
and then seeing it just take off so fast,
I was like, oh, I get it.
Why men watch NASCAR
and love, like obsess over cars.
It's almost erotic a powerful car.
Well. I, I guess.
(audience laughing)
It was exciting.
Did I just say something I shouldn't have said
(audience laughing)
You and the entire audience,
What?
(audience laughing)
I think it's hot.
No, cars are hot.
I'm just to this day. I mean,
I was a big fan of Batman when I was a kid.
But to this day as like a, I'm a,
I'm a creepy older guy with a kid, everything.
I would go nuts for chance to see the Bat mobile, you know.
It was awesome.
And we shot it in parts of it in Chicago.
And, you know, people would be
going down the river on their boat
after having some cocktails.
Is that the Bat mobile?
Because we were shooting right there.
Probably thinking they're just drunk. Yeah.
Yeah. Exactly.
The fun, the most fun thing to do
with the Bat mobile would be to borrow it
and go run mundane errands with it. I think.
Exactly.
Like take the Bat mobile to Costco.
(audience laughing)
Buy extra large mayonnaise, put it in the trunk,
drive safely home, you know.
Or the new Home Depot here.
Exactly. That's just me.
In 23rd.
I'm nuts.
Well, First Daughter opens tomorrow.
This is the new movie
where you play the president's daughter.
Yes
Who's going to college and
Who's going to college and,
you know, sort of a coming of age story.
Young girl just separating herself from her parents
and find her own independence.
And it's sort of a fairytale like movie.
Very cool.
We'll watch for that. First Daughter tomorrow.
Katie Holmes. Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you so much.
Always nice to have you on our show.
(applause)
Robert Schimmel is coming up.
We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
