SCARLETT JOHANSSON TOOK the reins of Saturday Night Live over the weekend – with one of the stand out sketches being her take on Ivanka Trump.
But it was a less prominent sketch called ‘Translator’ that caught the attention of Irish viewers.
Because the opening and closing shot of the lab setting is clearly the Convention Centre Dublin
Which is surely the most random use of stock Irish footage in US TV history
Comparing the angle on Google Maps tells us what we already know – it’s the Convention Centre alright
DailyEdge.ie has contacted NBC to get to the bottom of why the Convention Centre was chosen – perhaps it’s something to do with its noted futuristic design, or maybe they just plucked it out of a raft of similar buildings in a library and went with it.
Irish people watching it back yesterday spotted it straight away
Whoops!
