Ambika Mod causes everyone to lose it! | The Graham Norton Show - BBC

[@AthelstanEngland]

"I actually have very little information for you about this condition!"... brilliant. I don't know who she is but she's a natural comic!

[@mohitarora2190]

She is in Nextflix's One Day

[@beactivebehappy9894]

I actually talk with that cadence in speech and idk why or how do ppl find it funny cuz i dont 😢 (but i certainly enjoy the attention and laughter i get 😅)

[@martinsuo4004]

For me it's not that the cadency is funny, more captivating. ​@@beactivebehappy9894

[@avikpram]

From the Guardian interview of her (she's Ambika Mod btw) "At Durham University, after failing to get parts in plays, she instead joined its comedy group, the Durham Revue, which she ended up running in her final year. “Writing and performing comedy is never something I thought I would do, but I didn’t really have anything else, and I happened to be good at it."" so there....

[@solomonsmith3658]

She’s also in ‘This is going to hurt’ and did a bloody good job of her role

And this is why Graham’s show is the best chat show. Everyone gets really relaxed with each other and these absolute gems of stories just flow out of people. It wasn’t a topic of conversation that was pre-planned. But everyone joined in and showed their personalities. Blumin love this show

It was so refreshing and honest when she said "I really don't have enough information about this condition"... "It'll be a short documentary", Norton crushing it as usual.

[@amaechiexcel]

Anytime I see her or the actor who plays Ian, I just have this little heartache. The limited series one day gave me hope about love and shattered it too. I just feel sad and weepy. ( I don't know why I'm telling you this)

[@YTLJE]

I thought she was completely forgettable in One Day. The pair of them were to be honest.

[@sumitrana4813]

These 4 had mad comedic chemistry for some reason, everyone is feeding into each other and making everything seem funny.

[@optimusprimal2]

that little pause @1:57 tells you she was really thinking hard about her experience and trying to clear honest answer. Thats Hilarious.

[@JonDoyle-h9l]

Her bit to Ian Mckellan about Gandalf sleeping with his eyes open, every nerd knows how she felt!

[@rozetalami6289]

I just finished One Day and didn't know what to expect really. It was beautifully shot, the actors did a great job, especially the guy. I felt so sad at the end.

[@kutter_ttl6786]

I have a friend who can do this. He's fallen asleep in class and it looks like he's paying attention, but he also has sleep apnea, so he eventually starts snoring and gets caught.

[@MsHSpring]

😂😂😂

[@pissoff8042]

What a self-damaging combo 😂

[@beastvader]

[@Kopie0830]

I have sleep apnea too, like being half awake and half asleep. I could be awake one moment asleep after a minute. I could hear everything and know I feel asleep, but waking up the mind and body takes a while if it happens.

[@darcybhaiwala7057]

She actually has gorgeous eyes

[@thyop89]

She's incredibly funny. I havent seen her in anything yet but her comedic chops are stand-up worthy.

[@Fifi_almond]

she was incredible the This is Going to Hurt! heart breakingly sad. and recently she was in One Day which us what she’s promoting

[@JiminyHCriquet]

met her at a charity do once. she was surprisingly down to earth and VERY FUNNY!

She was great in One Day, and this is why I'm here. I wanted to see how she was in real life, and she's like her character in One Day. Awesome!

[@ssr6731]

Her Netflix series one day was sooo lovely

[@LSmallCatL]

Best talk/ entertainment show I've ever watched. Every show is interesting whether you know the guest or not because they share their every day problems and become much more relatable this way.

[@t3hpwninat0r]

they're asking her what it's like when she's asleep and no surprise she's like "i dunno man, i was asleep" 🤣

[@BasicFolders]

She made everyone laugh, including the guests, but didn't laugh or smile even once herself till the last few seconds of this video. 🤣 I think that's what made it so funny.

[@triarb5790]

I sleep with my eyes open too, also always have. And like she said, I have dry eyes. It creeps my husband out. I'm asleep. He snores. That's worse 😂

[@Damian_HENRY]

Perfect couple

[@IronGoober]

I also sleep with my eyes partially open. It is very irritating! I also feel like closing my eyes is an effort, like she says.

[@_wrl_]

How did I never know this was a thing.

[@EyeSee4.8]

I'm the same sleep with eyes open. Sometimes it really sucks how dry your eyes get.

[@Flawless_Facts]

I also sleep with my eyes open. It's not like full wide open but like 30-40% open, or so I've been told when people accidently wake me up thinking I'm staring into abyss.

And right after he said that she blinked twice. 😀

[@MerlinSingh]

She has natural banter.

[@amywuester136]

My eyes don't close completely when I sleep. I only discovered it when I switched from daily wear contact lenses to the lenses you can wear overnight. My eyes were so dry and irritated and my ophthalmologist did a test to discover that my eyes don't close completely when I blink either. I passed this phenomenon down to my daughter, who has just recently passed it down to her daughter. It's only cute on a baby. 😊 So I'd love to say it's just because we don't want to miss anything going on. But in reality, it's an anatomical issue that can cause more complicated eye issues. And it's NOT cool or fun to have to deal with. 😢

[@wge621]

honey there are no lenses you can wear overnight! please please take them out! even if they're monthly or whatever, you still need to take them out at night.

[@ZarkowsWorld]

Monthly contact-lenses only means you can use them for a month before throwing them away, not that you can have them in....you still need to take them out nightly.

[@christinadebrito322]

​@@ZarkowsWorld on my monthly contacts it's written that you can sleep in them up to several days consecutively. I accidentaly tried it a few times and when they're new and fresh it's quite alright. But i'd still not do it deliberately

[@ChristinaLan]

@amywuester136 we are living the same experience!! Sometimes my eyes feel glued shut cause they’re so dry 😂 to everyone saying you should take lenses out at night, these lenses are called ortho k, specially made to wear overnight

[@b.africa1348]

I adored this interaction so much.

[@SteveEricJordan]

bc of the british accent i was hearing "see with your eyes open" multiple times and thought she misspoke and everyone was laughing because of that. i couldnt believe it when i realized it. the funny thing is gandalf ACTUALLY can sleep with his eyes open, its a scene in the movies (maybe only in the special extended versions) which is a nice little coincidence.

[@Zindo.Majesty.HisMajesty]

I’ve always hated talk shows until I found Graham…😮

[@scully8950]

In the nursery where I worked there was a little girl who slept the same way... We all secretly called her "the corpse"... She was absolutely disturbing when she slept even though when she was awake she was a delightful little girl.

[@blessedandhappy3921]

My big brother (May he rest in peace) slept with his eyes open and growing up and sharing a bedroom on a farm in the early 1960’s we didn’t have night lights or air conditioning so sometimes on bright moonlit nights I would wake up and look across the room and see those glazed white eyeballs 👀 and it would always freak me out! He was an amazing brother and I miss him dearly. Prior to the internet I never heard of anyone else that had that condition.

[@DIYglenn]

I remember reading about a tattoo artist that fixed that for someone who had "too short" eyelids, so they wouldn't close during night, and she had very dry eyes. Supposedly the tattoo artist "tattooed" her eyelids with a series of stripes without using ink, and that made the skin on the eyelids heal up slightly longer than before.

[@Tionois]

I love whenever a conversation gets derailed like this.

[@leopold7562]

My youngest daughter used to do this. I remember the first time I saw it, I'd gone into her room to check on her and she was lying there, eyes wide open, like a thousand yard stare. I waved my hand over her face and she didn't move at all. I shouted my wife, thinking that she was dead or something, and she came into the room and said, "Oh, yeah, I saw her do that a few weeks ago." I wish she'd told me, I nearly had a heart attack!

Also i sleepwalked until 3 years ago and did it quite often when i was young, now imagine a 7 year old kid walking in the house with white eyes and moving like a fugging zombie, so the next morning every single member of my family were afraid of me and had quite a lot of similar experiences i never get tired of hearing
