Shiri: yeah.
Craig Kilborn: okay.
Shiri: what else is going on? (jokingly)
everyone starts laughing.
Craig Kilborn: it's the #1 movie.
Shiri: yes.
Craig Kilborn: ...and the critics did not like it right? and then it becomes #1 and then your mom forewarns you...what did your mom say?
Shiri: she just warned me to not be too disappointed if it did not make quite of bit of money and so she thought that it wouldn't make 5 million dollars.
Craig Kilborn: the entire weekend?
Shiri:...yeahhh...and it made 5 million opening night.
Craig Kilborn: opening night?
Shiri: and so i called her at 12 o clock to uh...kinda...
Craig Kilborn: rub it in?
Shiri: yeah! pretty much. (everyone laughs)
Craig Kilborn: that's good.
Shiri: i think that she was just in case it didn't work out to lesson the blow...
Craig Kilborn: being the nice mom?
Shiri: being a good mom.
Craig Kilborn: softening it for you.
Shiri: supportive.
Craig Kilborn: and then when it makes the money, she says i want some of that? is that how mom operates?
Shiri: no, she would be like i want some of THIS not 'some of that', THIS specifically.
Craig Kilborn: what was your reaction to seeing the movie yourself?
Shiri: uhhh, well, i actually went the 1st night it opened. i went to the mann chinese with a group of people, embarrassingly enough, and i didn't...
Craig Kilborn: you were in disguise, you were youself or what?
Shiri: well, i kind of have long hair so i kind of just did this (pulling hair in front of her face)and walked in assuming that nobody would...nobody did and walked in and i sat and watched the movie with...
Craig Kilborn: with the people?
Shiri: with the normal people-believe or not-yeah it was really fun...
Craig Kilborn: i must have been a-
Shiri: it's bizarre, because i am kissing alot and its rather wierd to watch yourself.
Craig Kilborn: kiss?
Shiri: yeah i mean
Craig Kilborn: no,no,no.
Shiri: it's just wierd.
Craig Kilborn: i think it's cool. (everyone laughs) if you put-when i was little, we used to put the mirror on the side,not in the bed, down in the living room...
Shiri: i am so scared of where this story is going...
Craig Kilborn: i'm just making it up.
Shiri: okay, so ummmm, yeah its just kind of wierd watching yourself make out.
Craig Kilborn: right.
Shiri: so i watched it with the audienceand it was fine but...
Craig Kilborn: were they hooting and hollering? what were they doing?
INTERVIEW CONT'D...
Shiri: yeah you know they were just being an audience, being supportive of the movie and enjoying it so to speak and i'm just like 'oh my god'...
Craig Kilborn: it's so embarrassing...
Shiri: it's kind of emabarrassing.
Craig Kilborn: because your so much bigger on the screen, your lips are bigger and the making out, it just seems so intense right?
Craig Kilborn: am i right?
Shiri: yeah i never want to see...yeah...it's pretty intense...yeah.
Craig Kilborn: moving right along.
Shiri: thank you so much.
Shiri: what else you got there? (acting like she's looking on his desk for questions)
Craig Kilborn: you got the commercials, years ago, when you got your start?
Shiri: yeah i started when i was a little kid and i had a commercial on when i was a freshman in college...the taco bell commercial...
Craig Kilborn: that was big.
Shiri: right before the dog came on...it was me. so in college everyone referred to me as the "taco bell girl" which is not very good when your trying to get a date...cause they don't want to refer to you as the taco bell girl...ya know? it just doesn't go over very well.
Craig Kilborn: so that was bothering you that they all wanted to date the taco bell girl?
Shiri: it wasn't like the biggest claim to fame.
Craig Kilborn: right. you wanted something nicer than that.
Shiri: right, so i decided to do a tc show where i date an alien...(shiri and craig point at each other with goofy looks on the faces) ahhhhhhhh...there ya go....exactly...yeah i'm with ya!
Craig Kilborn: that's funny...but maybe, may-BE it's easier to say the taco bell girl than shiri...
Shiri: which is so difficult which i am so thankful you got it right.
Craig Kilborn: i know, it took me a long time i have practiced all day...in front of a the mirror...while i was kissing. (everyone laughs)
Craig Kilborn: no, now this is your mom. why couldn't she have named you sherry?
Shiri: because she wanted me to be unique and special and a little bit different...shiri.
Craig Kilborn: shiri...
Shiri: shiiiri...
Craig Kilborn: the taco bell girl...shiri...tell 'em about your one regret in high school that you won't admit to.
Shiri: are you really making me say this on the air?
Craig Kilborn: this is the kind of stuff i enjoy!
Shiri: i asked specifically, if it came up in conversation i said please so don't make him...i was a cheerleader. (drops her head in shame-horrible gasps from the audience)
Craig Kilborn: om my gosh!
Craig Kilborn: are you going to be okay?
Shiri: No I AM NOT...for one year...they asked me not to try out again.
Craig Kilborn: so you weren't very good?
Shiri: i was just really bossy.
Craig Kilborn: so you were skilled, you were just telling everyone else what to do.
Shiri: pretty much.
Craig Kilborn: yeah, what year were you when you started cheerleading?
Shiri: a sophomore.
Craig Kilborn: a sophomore? and you were on the carsity squad or what?
Shiri: i was a jv
Craig Kilborn: jv...junior varsity squad...
Shiri: uh-huh.
Craig Kilborn: and they said please don't come out next yearor your kicked off?
Shiri: it was just kinda like "uh, you going to try out?" you know what i mean?
Shiri: i didn't.
Craig Kilborn: so you got kicked off...kind of?...not kicked off.
Shiri: not kicked off, just not cordially invited back.
Craig Kilborn: but that's cool because if you would have said "craig, i was a cheerleader for 3 years and i'm embarrassed..."
Shiri: that's just so not cool.
Craig Kilborn: that's not cool. so just one year. so what should we do about saving this for cheerleaders ti say it's okay?
Shiri: oh, it's great to be involved in things ar school...just don't tell people about it on national television.
craig is laughing.
Craig Kilborn: we're out of time. it's nice meeting you.
Shiri: oh thank you so much.
Craig Kilborn: shiri appleby from swimfan.
