Domhnall Gleeson was at Sundance Film Festival last week to promote his new Netflix film, A Futile and Stupid Gesture, in which he plays one of the founders of humour magazine National Lampoon.
The Hollywood Reporter challenged the various celebrities who came their way to a game of ring toss, including Domhnall and co-stars Joel McHale and Emmy Rossum.

Domhnall got his name on the leader board, but nobody was able to spell it – Emmy was on the verge of putting an ‘r’ in somewhere when he just lost the plot:
