I don't think so, he talks to bugs and Saruman didn't know what hobbits where.
They aren't competent enough to write Saurman particularly not into a scenario like that. They are doing the dumb generic person falls from sky and knows nothing so has to have everything taught to him and he looks scary but really he is a nice guy thing. But the problem with doing that with Saruman is that we know what he ends up like so you would have to write him as a nuanced character and show that he had that potential, also it goes against the moral of that story because in that case the idiot midgets would have been right not to want to help him and the generic baby raising thing would be for nothing.

Oh the dumb jumping of the ship into the middle of nowhere and finding random idiots and a generic idiot and then a ship comes up. I don't care about him either(either of them) and his costume is stupid(both of them) and the ship he is on is stupid and the place he is going to is stupid.
