Daly appears in just one episode of The Office - season three's "Benjamin Franklin" - where he plays a Benjamin Franklin impersonator named Gordon. When Michael asks Jim to hire a stripper, Jim instead orders Gordon as a joke. He then convinces Dwight that Gordon is the real Benjamin Franklin, something that Dwight tries desperately to disprove.

Throughout its run, The Office had some truly great episodes. Unfortunately, "Benjamin Franklin" doesn't stand out among them. The episode received a mixed response from critics when it first aired, which jarred with the positive reaction to the rest of the third season. Criticism was largely aimed at the episode's relatively low gag rate and the sexist nature of the A-plot.
