Watch Michael B. Jordan's mom react to Nikki Glaser's raunchy joke
Michael B. Jordan's mom did not appear to be a fan of Nikki Glaser's raunchy jokes at her son's expense.
At the 83rd annual Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 11, Glaser took the helm as host and gave a funny, flattering and frivolous performance, though not without some moments that caused her Hollywood audience to cringe.
At one point, Glaser made a joke about the "Sinners" heartthrob playing twins Smoke and Stack in the period horror film.
"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, creating a play on the actor's name. "I'm sorry, Michael."

While the audience cackled and Jordan, 38, hid his face with a laugh, the joke seemed to fall flat with his mother, Donna Jordan. In a reaction that has made the rounds online, Mama Jordan took a sip of water as her eyes darted and widened.

Earlier on the red carpet, E! News asked Jordan's mom what she wants the world to understand about her son, with the actor joking she should "keep it clean."
"Just his commitment," she said of the "Creed" star. "And his dedication and his persistence to his craft, 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."
Meanwhile, Jordan came up short in his category at the award show, for best film drama actor. "Sinners," though, went on to receive the award for cinematic and box-office achievement.
