The Office boss, played by Ricky Gervais, is making a comeback after 10 years – and he has reinvented himself as a music producer.
The clip shows how the 'chilled-out entertainer' cannot resist stealing the limelight from a young artist he is meant to be promoting.
Gervais told the Mirror: “He is passing on his wisdom to younger would-be rock stars now and is living vicariously through a young performer, Dom Johnson.
"Well, really he is trying to worm his way back into rock and roll."

Read the full storyRicky Gervais will join Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in the new Muppets film, director James Bobin confirmed.
The writer and star of The Office will play the sidekick to villain Constantine - who looks identical to Kermit - in the latest film of The Muppets series, which is set for a March 2014 release.
Comedian Tina Fey will also be in the new film, playing prison guard Nadya, and Modern Family actor Ty Burrell will play an Interpol agent.
Bobin said the film will pay homage to the 1960s comedy Pink Panther films, starring British comedian Peter Sellers.
The director said: "It's a tip of the hat to the old-school crime capers of the '60s, but featuring a frog, a pig, a bear and a dog - no panthers, even pink ones - along with the usual Muppet-y mix of mayhem, music and laughs."
