It looks like NBC’s Saturday Night Live is taking inspiration from the jewel of Dallas.
In a sketch from the March 4 show, hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, family and friends are gathered at a funeral that seems to be taking place at Winfrey Point.
We have reached out to NBC to try to confirm the source of inspiration, but we have eyes.
The building shown in the video has the same brick color, the same windows, the same roof color and material. It has the same number of porch supports in the same location as the ones at Winfrey Point. The sidewalk and driveway are even laid out the same way in real Winfrey and SNL‘s Winfrey.
Watch the video below to see for yourself.
We’ll also take the opportunity to remind everyone that Winfrey Point is being renovated. The White Rock Lake Foundation recently gave more than $150,000 to Dallas Park and Recreation to fund the project, which is meant to restore the building to its former glory.
It will take around $500,000 to complete all renovations of the building, which was completed in 1942, and the foundation intends to supply the required funds. However, the project was approved for a fund-matching program through the city.
