We Keep Talking About Glen Powell Taking His Parents To Red Carpets, But Michael B Jordan’s Mom Had To Deal With Those ‘Lust’-Filled Nikki Glaser Comments

by

Nikki Glaser kicked off the 2026 Golden Globes with her opening monologue, which included jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio and a quick, unapproved reference to CBS. She also made a playfully suggestive comment about actor Michael B. Jordan while his mother was sitting nearby. This created a different dynamic than the usual ‘actor and parent’ moments often seen with stars like Glen Powell and his parents on the red carpet. Jordan later shared how his mother reacted to Glaser’s comment.

During the Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser made a playful joke about Michael B. Jordan’s role in Sinners, where he plays twin brothers. She said seeing him in the film made her “Nikki B. Jerkin’,” a play on his name. A clip of Glaser’s joke—including Jordan’s reaction and a moment of his mother, Donna, taking a drink—was shown when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Kimmel then asked Jordan if his mother ever feels awkward when women openly express their attraction to him, and Jordan responded:

She seems to have gotten used to it and now just reacts with a slight eye roll, then continues what she was doing. She doesn’t usually bother responding.

I’ve been a fan of Michael B. Jordan for years, and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come! He actually started acting way back in 1999, with early roles on shows like All My Children and Friday Night Lights, but he really hit his stride with movies like Fruitvale Station and Creed. Knowing that, it’s no surprise his mom has probably been dealing with people commenting on his looks for over a decade! I get why she’d want to brush those moments off, but I was actually glad we saw her reaction at the Golden Globes – it felt so real. It really matched how Michael seemed a little embarrassed when Nikki Glaser publicly called him out as being incredibly handsome. It was a funny, relatable moment, honestly!

The movie Sinners, available on HBO Max, received Golden Globe awards for its original score and box office success. However, Michael B. Jordan didn’t win Best Actor in a Drama, with Wagner Moura from The Secret Agent taking home the prize. Despite this, Jordan and his mother had a great time, and he shared that she was dancing at the afterparty! He affectionately calls his mom his “partner in crime” at events, so fans might see them together at the Academy Awards in March or at next year’s Golden Globes.

Michael B. Jordan might want to follow Glen Powell’s lead and cast his parents in small roles in his films. It’s too late for his upcoming movies, Swapped (coming in 2026) and the Thomas Crown Affair remake (scheduled for 2027), but hopefully he’ll consider it for future projects.
