Cool Videos: The Hobbit/The Office crossover short starring Martin Freeman

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Martin Freeman is probably best known for playing Bilbo Baggins in THE HOBBIT films and Tim Canterbury from the British version of The Office, and Freeman (kind of) reprised both roles over the weekend on Saturday Night Live. Besides hosting the episode, Martin Freeman appeared in the pre-recorded sketch "The Office: Middle Earth," and it also stars Bobby Moynihan as Gandalf/David Brent and Taran Killam as Gollum/Gareth.

I know some like to rag on SNL and think it's not as funny as it use to be, but I love this video. Usually when the host is a solid actor, the episode is usually pretty good as well, and I'll definitely have to watch the rest of the Martin Freeman-hosted episode.

Martin Freeman's THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES will be in theaters on December 17, and you can check out JimmyO's review for it here.
