5. When she asked 18-year-old Marcus Scribner if he was a virgin.

CBS Television Distribution

"He was super uncomfortable and to make it worse, his dad was on the side with the camera witnessing everything. She said the reason why she asked was because his character on Black-ish was sexually active. Luckily, he just nervously laughed it off and said that the audience can use their imagination on that subject."
