Janelle James credited the free alcohol with her decision to give a shoutout to her mom after the show won Best Musical/Comedy Series at the Golden Globes.

Let's be honest here. We've all demonstrated some questionable behavior after a round or five of adult beverages. Most of us, however, didn't display it on national television like Janelle James.

James was recently on The Jennifer Hudson Show and opened up about the incident.


In case you've forgotten, back in January at the Golden Globes James' comedyAbbott Elementary won the Best Musical/Comedy Series award. The cast took the stage to accept the award and one of the show's stars Sheryl Lee Ralph took over the mic after creator Quinta Brunson gave her speech.

Before Ralph was finished, however, James jumped in and yelled directly into the mic:

"I love you, mom!"

Cut to Wednesday when Hudson asked her about that moment and James was honest. She revealed she partook in the "free drinks" and decided she really wanted to talk to her mom.

"First of all, I was drunk, that's one thing."
"I had ben texting with my mom the whole time, so I was like, 'I'm going to talk to my mom.'"

James continued:

"But not to be disrespectful to Ms. Sheryl Lee Ralph, just had a little..."

She made a drinking gesture with her hand, much to the audience's amusement.

You can watch James explain "the speech" below followed by more awards show shenanigans and her journey to Abbott Elementary.
