Michael B. Jordan’s mother’s response to Nikki Glaser’s raunchy joke goes viral at Golden Globes

Michael B. Jordan’s mom stole the spotlight with her priceless reaction to a risqué joke at the 2026 Golden Globes.

Comedian Nikki Glaser didn’t hold back during her opening monologue, taking aim at the Sinners star, 38, and his twin roles, Smoke and Stack, in Ryan Coogler’s horror hit.

Glaser leaned into Jordan’s heartthrob status, teasing that two of him is twice the fun and adding a saucy twist, hinting some might be getting a little pleasure just thinking about him.

‘I can’t believe it, we got two Michael B. Jordans. When I saw that, I was like, Nikki B. Jerkin’, because that was awesome,’ Glaser joked, putting an even raunchier spin on his name.

While the audience roared, Jordan’s mom Donna rolled her eyes and took a sip of her drink, clearly uncomfortable.

Her son couldn’t help but hide his face and laugh, creating a golden moment that quickly went viral. 

Fans took to social media in stitches, with one writing, ‘Somebody check on Michael B. Jordan’s mom.’

Another chimed in, ‘Michael B. Jordan’s mom taking a drink after the “Nikki B. Jerkin” joke.’

And yet another cracked, ‘Michael B. Jordan’s mom after hearing that joke.’  

Before the ceremony, Donna Jordan opened up about her pride in her son and what she hopes people see beyond the spotlight.

‘Just his commitment and his dedication and his persistence to his craft,’ she told E!. 

‘And the messages that he tries to share with everyone with the choices that he makes and the work that he does. I’m very proud of that.’

Sinners was one of the night’s most nominated films, racking up seven nods, including Best Actor in a Motion Picture  -Drama and Best Motion Picture – Drama.

Of course, the Jordans aren’t strangers to viral reactions – just a week earlier, Michael B. Jordan himself stole the internet at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.

The moment came as Timothée Chalamet accepted Best Actor for Marty Supreme, beating Jordan for Sinners in a stacked category that also included Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, Ethan Hawke, and Wagner Moura. 

As Chalamet launched into an emotional acceptance speech, clearly overwhelmed by the win, one camera lingered a little too long on Jordan’s face.

Stone-faced and unreadable, Jordan’s calm, almost bored expression quickly became the internet’s favorite subplot of the night.

Things escalated when another camera caught Chalamet tearing up mid-speech as he declared his love for Kylie Jenner, sending social media into a frenzy.

Fans went wild over the split-screen contrast, dubbing it an instant meme as Jordan’s deadpan stare and Chalamet’s emotional meltdown played out just feet apart. 

One viewer shared a split screen of the moment and tweeted, ‘the camera being on michael b jordan while timothee says thank you to my partner of three years,”’ adding a crying emoji.

Others rushed to Jordan’s defense, with one concerned fan posting, ‘Just putting it out there if Michael B. Jordan needs a hug, I’m here. #CriticsChoiceAwards.’

Another summed up the hilariously chaotic moment, writing, ‘I’m crying.’

Despite the meme-worthy reaction shots, it was a touching moment for Chalamet, who wrapped up his speech by gesturing toward Jenner and saying, ‘And lastly, I’ll just say, thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation.’

Jenner, 28, was seen mouthing ‘I love you’ from the audience as cameras captured the exchange. 

Timothee Chalamet has soared over Leonardo DiCaprio – who stars in One Battle After Another – as the betting favorite to win the coveted Best Actor Oscar as he earned the top honor at the Golden Globe Awards 2026 for Marty Supreme (directed by Josh Safdie).

Before Award season it was 51-year-old DiCaprio who was the odds favorite to take home the coveted gong, but now Chalamet is a massive favorite to win the top acting prize at March’s Academy Awards according to regulated exchange and prediction market Kalshi.

However, DiCaprio’s flick One Battle After Another (directed by Paul Thomas Anderson) did earn the last laugh at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Californiaon Sunday night as the film not only triumphed over Chalamet’s project but also beat out Blue Moon, Bugonia, No Other Choice, and Nouvelle Vague for Best Picture – Comedy Or Musical.

One Battle After Another was the most awarded film of the night with four but will no doubt face stiff competition in the Oscars race from Hanmet (directed by Chloe Zhao) as it earned the last award of the night in the Best Picture – Drama category over Frankenstein, It Was Just An Accident, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Sinners.

On the television side, it was The Pitt (created by R. Scott Gemmill), The Studio (created by Evan Goldberg, Alex Gregory, and Peter Huyck), and Adolescence (created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne) which earned wins in the drama, comedy or musical, and limited series categories, respectively.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Chalamet surely had tongues wagging as he barely acknowledged girlfriend Kylie Jenner during his acceptance speech for Marty Supreme.

The French-speaking actor had another major awards show moment as he earned Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy and abruptly ended his speech by saying: ‘To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much.’

It was noticeably a much more muted acknowledgement for Jenner, 28, as he boldly declared her love for her at last week’s Critics Choice Awards 2026.

Chalamet beat out an impressive field led by Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another as the field also featured: George Clooney – Jay Kelly, Ethan Hawke – Blue Moon, Lee Byung-Hun – No Other Choice, Jesse Plemons – Bugonia.

One Battle After Another led all winners with four including the aforementioned Best Picture – Comedy Or Musical gong along with Best Director and Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson and a surprise Best Supporting Actress win for Teyana Taylor.

One Battle After Another has already had a very successful Awards Season 2026 run but will face a formidable opponent in Hamnet – starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal – which earned the top prize Best Picture – Drama.

Buckley earned one of the top acting gongs of the night as she earned Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama.

The 36-year-old Irish actress triumphed over an A-list field including: Jennifer Lawrence – Die, My Love, Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value, Julia Roberts – After the Hunt, Tessa Thompson – Hedda, and Eva Victor – Sorry, Baby.

On the television side, it was Netflix’s Adolescence that had the biggest night as it swept their categories including 16-year-old star Owen Cooper becoming one of the youngest Golden Globe Awards winners of all-time.

The teenage actor was recognized in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role — TV Series, Limited series or TV Movie category.

His Adolescence co-star Stephen Graham later earned Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for TV.

It was a massive night for the Netflix series as Erin Doherty also earned Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role — TV Series, Limited series or TV Movie.

Adolescence swept their categories as it finished the night winning Best Limited TV Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for TV over: All Her Fault, The Beast in Me. Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, and The Girlfriend.

Noah Wyle kept up his winning ways after winning at last week’s Critics Choice Awards 2026 as he was earned Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series – Drama for The Pitt (created by R. Scott Gemmill).

Wyle also led the beloved HBO show to the top television honor as The Pitt was honored with Best TV Series – Drama.

Another big winner was The Studio as it earned Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy in addition to a Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series win for Seth Rogen.
