Stephen Merchant may be best known as a gifted writer, comedian and actor — and of course, frequent collaborator with his original "Office" pal, Ricky Gervais — but he's more than just an entertainment triple threat.

Merchant has a fourth skill, and he's not shy about showing it off.

During a Thursday morning visit to TODAY, Merchant admitted that he really likes to move to the music.

Of course, that comes as no surprise to anyone who caught Merchant's 2013 visit to "The Tonight Show," when he freestyled a lip sync and dance-filled rendition of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" (while Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jimmy Fallon looked on).

The 6-foot-7 star admitted that while most men his size can't master the art of dance, he doesn't have that problem.

"They don't have the grooves," he deadpanned during his visit to TODAY. "I have."

And as if there were any doubt about that, he not only proved it in Studio 1A, he led the whole TODAY gang in a Beyoncé-worthy dance line.
