With today being World Elephant Day (as if you already didn’t know that) what shows ever had episodes including or revolving around elephants?

The Three Stooges are Zookeepers, who are told to watch over the elephants.

In The Brady Bunch Season 1 episode "Kitty Karry-All Is Missing," there's a toy elephant named Jumbo that did tumbling and flips.

Mumbo Jumbo the Tumbling Elephant was a battery operated toy released by Remco in 1968.

Richard Kline (Larry Dallas) gets too close for comfort with an elephant at the Los Angeles Zoo in the Three's Company opening credits.

Johnny Carson and Betty White. (I leave it to TJ to dig up if David Letterman ever did anything with an elephant)

The inspiration for The Simpsons episode Bart Gets an Elephant was likely from the original Price is Right where a bonus prize in one episode was an elephant and he went to the bathroom on stage.
