A game in which celebrities surprise call their famous friends while live on the radio sounds like fun, but — as we quickly learn in the BBC Radio One clip above — it's actually tense.

Playing a game of "Sit Down, Stand Up" with host Greg James, Mr. and Mrs. Smith stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine take turns calling their famous friends, guessing whether they'll be sitting down or standing up when they answer.

The problem? Not all of them do answer — although fortunately for Glover, Michaela Coel returns his call right at the end to help him clinch the win.
