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.

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.
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
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.'
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.
