I know Saturday Night Live had parodies of TOS and TNG, but did they do DS9, VOY and Enterprise? Why not?

I don't think Mad TV did, either. I saw a promo for Wayne Brady's variety show where he was going to do a Trek parody, but I missed it, and I didn't tape it.

Jay Leno had one last night. He talked about the recent CBS miniseries about Hitler, and he mentioned several alternative titles:

Star Trek: Deep Space Nein

He also mentioned Third Reich from the Sun.

I don't know of any other DS9 references in popular culture.

Here's a site with articles on Trek, but I don't think he includes jokes comedians tell, or Futurama references.

"STasis contains over 500 abstracts, summaries and references to reliable, authoritative information sources for researchers, students, reporters, editors, biographers, sociologists, and journalists. The information sources include books, magazines, newspapers, press releases, manuscripts, working papers, dissertations, case studies, web sites, thesis papers, and scholarly reports. News coverage starts in 1995. Academic, scholarly reports, thesis papers, and case studies start in 1968. The abstracts are arranged by subject to display the most relevant bibliography."

Back when Heaven's Gate was in the news, there was an SNL episode where the first sketch was about the alien ship, flying next to the comet, contacting Earth (specifically, they were communicating with an evening news show on live TV). Tim Meadows played one of the cult people and at one point he says "I want to give a big shout-out to all my homies in the Deep Space Nine fan club!"

I just found this article on a Soviet TV show which looked like a rip-off of Star Trek.

Look at the picture of the guy holding a weapon. What do you see?
