Michael B. Jordan’s mom didn’t appear to be amused by Nikki Glaser’s NSFW joke about her son during the Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday.
During her opening monologue, the host singled out Jordan, 38, by bringing up the actor’s hit film “Sinners,” in which he played twins. The film received seven nominations, including Best Director and Best Screenplay.
“In ‘Sinners,’ Michael played two brothers. Am I allowed to say that?” Glaser said about the vampire film directed by Ryan Coogler. “He played twins, and I can’t believe it. We got two Michael B. Jordans. When I saw that, I was like, Nikki B. Jerking, because that was awesome!”
The camera then panned to Jordan’s mom, Donna Jordan, as she took a sip from a glass, and the audience cracked up. Meanwhile, Jordan laughed and hid his face with his hand.
“I’m sorry, Michael,” Glaser said. “Why did I make that joke? … I know your mom, I’m so sorry. I should not have said that to you; that should’ve been a DM. My mistake, my mistake!”
Donna Jordan’s reaction sparked comments on social media, with one X user quipping in a post, “somebody check on michael b jordan’s mom.”
While Jordan was snubbed in the acting category, “Sinners” earned Golden Globes for Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score.
Donna Jordan has accompanied the actor to other award ceremonies in the past, including the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards earlier this month.
