Michael B. Jordan laughs off a raunchy Golden Globes joke made by host Nikki Glaser, revealing his mother is “used to” people lusting after him as her reaction goes viral.
Awards shows increasingly thrive on viral moments, and Michael B. Jordan’s Golden Globes appearance delivered one that blended humor, family, and celebrity culture. A raunchy joke from host Nikki Glaser — and Jordan’s mother’s priceless reaction — became one of the night’s most talked-about moments, later earning even more attention during Jordan’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
What Happened at the Golden Globes
During her opening monologue at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, host Nikki Glaser made a suggestive joke referencing Jordan’s dual roles in Sinners.
“When I saw that, I was like Nikki B. Jerkin’ because that was awesome,” Glaser quipped, drawing laughter from the audience.
Cameras immediately cut to Jordan’s mother, Donna, who appeared unimpressed — rolling her eyes and sipping her drink as the crowd laughed. The reaction quickly became a viral highlight of the ceremony.
Glaser later acknowledged Donna’s presence in the audience, joking that the remark “should’ve been a DM,” while apologizing for the awkwardness of the moment.
Jordan Reacts on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the following night, Jordan laughed about the incident and admitted his mother unintentionally “stole the show.”
“I had fun, but my mom stole the show,” Jordan said. “I’m pretty sure all her girlfriends are texting her every meme and clip possible.”
When asked whether his mother gets uncomfortable when people openly lust after him, Jordan was candid.
“I think by now she’s used to it,” he said. “She just gives a little eye roll and keeps it pushing.”
Bringing Mom as a Red-Carpet Date
Jordan also addressed what it’s like bringing his mother as his date to major industry events.
“We went to an afterparty, had a little fun. She was dancing and stuff,” he said. “Mama had a good time. I don’t really think there’s a downside — only upside.”
The actor, who was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, suggested that his mother’s calm reaction reflects years of navigating his global heartthrob status.
Nikki Glaser’s No-Holds-Barred Hosting
The Michael B. Jordan moment was just one of many sharp jokes delivered by Glaser during her second consecutive turn as Golden Globes host. She also roasted Leonardo DiCaprio over his dating history and poked fun at the ceremony’s broadcaster.
While some jokes pushed boundaries, the exchange involving Jordan stood out because of the unexpected family dynamic and Donna Jordan’s viral response.
Sinners Awards Night Success
Jordan was nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Sinners, which earned seven nominations overall. The Ryan Coogler-directed film took home awards for Best Original Score and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
What’s Next for Michael B. Jordan
Jordan continues to expand his career both in front of and behind the camera. His upcoming projects include a voice role in the animated film Swapped and directing and starring in a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, expected to hit theaters in 2027.
Conclusion
While awards wins matter, viral moments increasingly shape Hollywood conversations — and Michael B. Jordan’s Golden Globes experience proved that sometimes a single reaction shot can steal the spotlight. With humor, humility, and a supportive mom by his side, Jordan once again showed why audiences connect with him both on and off the screen.
