They do take there time. In cases of NBC properties I believe they request the files directly - one example was the Suze Orman Show sketch. The people at SNL sent a request to the people at CNBC for the music. For this year's debate parodys I believe they were working with the actual NBC / MSNBC graphics.
However the realism can be a bit much. Three years ago there was a post Super Bowl episode of The Blacklist that started with the breaking news sting, featured an anchor and complete graphics package (looked like same package but with a slightly off font) of NBC Washington station. It apparently caused some people to believe there was a real emergency / apprehension of a suspect.
I do like the effort Broadway Video/NBC Studios take in making these parody sketches look good on screen.
They really spend time on making the lower thirds right, with the colour grading behind the captions - and putting the captions in the right font for that channel.
Something, that when comedy shows over here do, they get it so wrong - the excuse? It might confuse viewers.
If it does - that is the viewers problem. Accuracy over bafflement. Every time.
