JAY: My next guest is one of the stars of Dawson's Creek and also in a new movie called Disturbing Behavior which comes out later this summer. Please welcome Katie Holmes. Hey, nice to see you.
KATIE: Nice to see you too.
JAY: Now where're you from? Ohio?
KATIE: Yeah, Toledo, Ohio.
JAY: Big family?
KATIE: Yeah, I'm the youngest of five, actually.
JAY: Oh, okay. Anybody else in show business?
KATIE: No, I'm the only freak, I guess. No, they were all althetes. But I have 3 older sisters and 1 older brother.
JAY: You like being the youngest? Cause I'm the youngest, although there's only 2 of us.
KATIE: I do, I do. We'll its still exciting. You get to sneak up - my good friend Meagn and I would watch my older brothers and sisters on their dates when they came home.
JAY: You find your parents get little less.. well not less thoughtful when you're the youngest. But they're been there before?
KATIE: Yeah, well sometimes. They have a lot of kids. Sometimes they forget how many people came with them. Like one time my sister came back from college and my mom was like, "Kate, we're going to Andersons", a grocery store, "why don't you come?" so we're like, going and I loved Barbies when I was little and I'd always go to the Barbie aisle and was like its been a long time, like an hour. I was like "Good they have the new hot dog stand" and my mom came back with a guilty look on her face and was like "Hi, Kate". And I was like "You forgot about me didn't you?" and she was like "No" and she'd get home and she didn't even remember until someone asked when I was. She didn't even remember in the car.
JAY: We'll you're dad's pretty protective. You're dad's an attorney?
KATIE: Yes
JAY: And I guess he was guarding the door when I came in. Hey, let go of me, Pop. Is he a strict dad?
KATIE: Yeah, yeah.
JAY: Cause I was looking at you, you know how you can feel eyes burning, ah, what's that burning?
KATIE: No, he's really sweet, he's just...
JAY: A scary lawyer. Did he scare alot of your dates when you were..
KATIE: Well, I didn't have a lot of dates.
JAY: No?
KATIE: My older sisters did and one time my 1 sister Holly had this date and he was like the stud in school and really excitied...
JAY: Dads like to hear about studs in school is coming over
KATIE: I know, so he's like shows up at the door and she was really excited. My dad answers and this kid has a shaved head and I think an earring. He might even have had shaved his number, I don't remember. My dad was like "What the hell happened to your hair?" And he was like - gulp. I was surprised she was even allowed to go out with him.
JAY: Now your dad said this to Don Rickles. You're from Toledo right?
DON RICKLES: That was sweet.
KATIE: It's okay.
JAY: I played in your hometown. I played at Masonic Hall in Toledo.
KATIE: Really?
JAY: Yeah it was a while ago. It was one of those things.
KATIE: I was little, I think.
JAY: How old are you 19?
KATIE: Yeah
JAY: So you were like 9 when I was there? How frightening was that? So now you moved out here to CA. Now is it strange driving and all that?
KATIE: Well, actually I'm not living anywhere right now - yeah, its kind of scary. I'm fine driving but sometimes I go too fast. Its the whole maintenance thing.
JAY: Maintenance?
KATIE: Yeah, it was in Toledo when I had problems with the car. I had my sister's old car and on ocassion the oil light would come on.
JAY: Well, that comes on when you're out of oil.
KATIE: I know, I know. My best friend said "Katie, the lights on again" and I was like "I'll go next week. I'll go next week". Then it really started sounding bad.
JAY: That's because there's NO OIL.
KATIE: Then my mom found out and my best friend is in the back saying "Katie, you shouldn't have ignored that oil light." And I was like, "Megan, shut up".
JAY: How long did you ignore it?
KATIE: A while.
JAY: A week? A month?
KATIE: A couple of months. I'm probably gonna get in trouble now. Thank you.
JAY: Now what was this? One of your friends backstage said you have a weird talent. About Starburst candy?
KATIE: Yeah.
JAY: You can undo one of these?
KATIE: You know when you're bored sometimes when you're on the set because it takes a while to set up and we're talking about the whole myth if you can unwrap a Starburst with your tongue then you're a good kisser.
JAY: Wait, a myth about unwrapping a Starbucks with a tongue - I mean Starburst.
KATIE: Starbucks, I don't know.
JAY: That means you're a good kisser?
KATIE: Yeah, so I was like "I hope I'm a good kisser", so I tried it.
JAY: Do you want to try it now and see if you can do it? We get bored around here all the time.
KATIE: (To Don Rickles) Will you try it too?
DON RICKLES: I love tricks.
JAY: Try one, Don. Put the whole thing in your mouth and unwrap it with your tongue.
DON RICKLES: Undo it with my tongue? Okay.
KATIE: You can use your teeth too.
DON RICKLES: I can't believe I'm this lonely.
JAY: How are you doing?
*Katie and Don are trying to unwrap the starburst*
DON RICKLES: Right now my teeth are loosening.
JAY: Don, you can take your teeth out and move it with your hand if you want.
JAY: Look, she's got it! Look at that!
DON RICKLES: God bless you. That's certainly going to help your career. God bless ya.
JAY: Well, good to see you're not wasting your time on the set. You're doing something creative. Well, listen, the show's a huge success, congrats. You're only 19? You've got a teriffic career ahead of you. Teriffic. Say hi to your dad.
KATIE: I will.
JAY: Thank you very much. Katie Holmes.
