Given the time at which the news broke (about 5:00 Pacific/8:00 Eastern), they should have had enough time to scrub any Whitney references from the 11:30 show, if not from the dress rehearsal. As it is, they had enough time to get a still-frame of Whitney on SNL in 1991 to use as a tribute bumper near the end of Saturday's show. I was in fact a little bit surprised to see Lester Holt with a brief NBC News special report during one of the SNL commercial breaks, since it wasn't exactly "breaking news" at that point.
