Martin Freeman combines his roles in "The Office" and "The Hobbit" in one hilarious sketch on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend. In "The Office: Middle Earth", his Bilbo Baggins is a guy who works at a paper company after his quest with the dwarves.

Another skit featured Keenan Thompson as Santa with a twist. Instead of giving the good people the gifts they deserved, he applauded the bad ones. Justin Bieber, Paula Deen, and Donald Sterling were among the naughty people who got awarded by this untraditional Santa.

It was Freeman's first time hosting the NBC variety show. In his monologue, he talked about shopping with Daniel Radcliffe and joining Judi Dench and Harry Styles for tea. Because all British celebrities were his friends, he got help from Dame Maggie Smith (Kate McKinnon) and Alan Rickman (Taran Killam) during the segment.
