A live elephant was a prize on "The Price Is Right" in 1956
In another episode, an elephant was offered as a "bonus prize" for a contestant who had won a grand piano ("for extra ivory"). The real prize was $4,000; however, the contestant, who was from Texas, wanted the elephant and persisted with his demand. Eventually the contestant got his wish and a live elephant from Kenya was delivered to him. This incident was spoofed in an episode of The Simpsons entitled "Bart Gets an Elephant".[2] In the episode, Bart is offered $10,000 as the prize. @Curionic
