Michael B. Jordan’s Mom Shades Nikki Glaser Over NSFW Golden Globes Joke

by

I was watching the Golden Globes on Sunday, and I noticed Michael B. Jordan’s mom, Donna, clearly wasn’t thrilled with one of Nikki Glaser’s jokes about her son. You could definitely see her reaction in the audience!

The comedian, famous for her bold and sometimes shocking jokes, made a playful comment about Michael B. Jordan’s work in the horror movie Sinners. She joked that she was surprised to see him in the film, saying, “I thought, ‘Wow, two Michael B. Jordans!’ It was so cool, I immediately thought of Nikki B. Jerkin’!”

The audience was laughing, but the camera showed Donna looking a little uneasy as she took a sip of her drink. Realizing his mistake, Glaser immediately apologized, saying, “I’m so sorry. That should’ve been a private message.”

The clip immediately spread across the internet. People on X (formerly Twitter) reacted quickly, with many joking about Michael B. Jordan’s mother’s reaction. One user wrote, “Somebody check on Michael B. Jordan’s mom,” while another simply commented on her facial expression. Many others found the moment incredibly funny, calling it one of the funniest things they’d ever heard.

On the red carpet before the awards show, Donna Jordan told Entertainment Weekly how proud she was of her son’s hard work and career choices. She said, “I admire his commitment, dedication, and perseverance. I’m also very proud of the positive messages he shares through his work.”

Jordan received a Best Actor nomination for his performance in Ryan Coogler’s film, Sinners, but Wagner Moura won the award for The Secret Agent. Despite not winning the top prize, Sinners was still a success, winning two awards – one for Best Original Score composed by Ludwig Göransson, and another acknowledging its cinematic quality and box office success.

Golden Globes hosts often make edgy jokes, and Joel Glazer’s recent comments fit that pattern. Past hosts like Ricky Gervais and Amy Poehler have also been known for making pointed jokes about celebrities, sometimes sparking strong reactions from the audience.

Michael B. Jordan, originally from New Jersey but now based in Los Angeles, is known as both a talented actor and someone who carefully considers his roles. He’s been inspired by filmmakers like Ryan Coogler, Steven Spielberg, and Christopher Nolan, and he often turns to Tom Cruise and Will Smith for advice, viewing them as mentors.

This recent event highlights how difficult it is for show hosts to be funny without accidentally offending someone, particularly when family members are watching.
