Martin Freeman was the host last night on Saturday Night Live, where he did a digital short called The Office: Middle Earth that combined his roles in The Hobbit films and The Office television series. In the short, the characters from The Hobbit — including Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Tauriel, Gollum, and Legolas — take up office jobs after their epic adventure that saved Middle-earth.

Freeman was part of the original British Office TV series starring Ricky Gervais, which was the basis for the U.S. Steve Carell version.
