![]() ![]() In one particularly all-encompassing interview that Jones did with her sister Kidada for Glamour in 2005, the sisters discussed their very different experiences of growing up biracial. ![]() Rashida Jones is the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, and she has spoken about her mixed ethnicity many times. "Shows me nothing," Demski immediately tried to laugh it off in a way that also didn't work. "Me too," Demski's co-interviewer JD Heyman chimed in, which made no sense. "I mean, you know, I'm ethnic," Jones said. You're very tan, very tropical," Demski told Jones during this encounter on the red carpet at the SAG Awards on Sunday. "You look like you've just come off an island or something. If TNT hasn't already been doing that for its SAG Awards red carpet emcees, then the network should certainly use this incredibly uncomfortable exchange between Rashida Jones and Danielle Demski to show future interviewers what not to do. Still, you'd think their respective media outlets would train them for what they shouldn't say when they're speaking to a celebrity about whom it's painfully obvious they know nothing. You’re a very good actress.Red carpet reporters have to interview many celebrities during award show season, so it's only natural that they wouldn't know everything about everyone they encounter.

JB-Is there any similarity between the cultures of Harvard and Hollywood? They were down in the laboratory making the best pot man had ever tasted. Jack Black-Was there any good weed at Harvard? It’s kind of fun that we get to do comedy ’cause then your main goal is to make people around you laugh, which is just, by nature, fun. I have to say… back me up if you feel the same way. JB-Does it frustrate you? Do you miss going for the heavier stuff? JB-So you’ve been mostly flexing your comedy muscles since college. So you were getting heavy right out of the gate? Jack Black-So your goal was probably to give people goose bumps. Check out the latest issue of The Lab Magazine and find out why.
