Being the guy who saved Middle Earth is not as glamorous as you might think.

“The brave Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, now works at a paper company,” Bilbo (Freeman) said. “And I drive a Jetta.”
The segment featured appearances by Gollum (Taran Killam), who is not pleased to find his beloved ring encased in Jell-O, and Gandalf (Bobby Moynihan), who channels David Brent by calling himself “lord of the reams.”
