Comedian Druski is making waves with a new comedy sketch titled Joe, a parody prequel to the blockbuster Michael biopic. The sketch, which imagines the life of Joe Jackson in the comedian’s signature style, arrived just as he prepares to host the 2026 BET Awards.

The timing of the release aligns with the massive success of the actual Michael film. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the biopic has officially become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time. It recently surpassed the global box office total of Bohemian Rhapsody and has reached $977.4 million worldwide. The film, which stars Jaafar Jackson, is currently on track to join the billion-dollar club.
Expanding a Hollywood Footprint
While the Joe sketch is strictly a comedic bit, it highlights the growing presence of Druski in the film industry. The comedian is continuing to build his career with a role in the upcoming Universal Pictures baseball romantic comedy, The Catch. He is set to star in that project alongside Emma Stone and Chris Pine.
The release of the parody serves as a clever nod to the cultural impact of the Michael Jackson biopic. As the film continues to dominate the global box office, Druski has found a way to capitalize on the momentum with his own brand of humor. Fans can catch the BET Awards tonight to see the comedian take the stage as host.
