Carol Burnett Show - The Family - Password Elephant Story 1&2

Full episode of The Family featuring both versions of the infamous Elephant Story. The episode featuring the Elephant Story #1 originally aired on Nov. 7, 1977. Elephant Story #2 was filmed during the 2nd filming of the episode. They always filmed twice, took the best of both, edited it together that is what is aired on TV. Because of Vicky's curse word and because they found the footage unusable due to time, they decided not to air the 2nd version but thought it too valuable to be wasted. So they sold it to Dick Clark who featured it on an episode of "TV's Bloopers and Practival Jokes" a new, popular TV show at the time which would eventually turn into a lucrative powerhouse through syndication and from the many VHS/DVD releases in which the Elephant Story was featured. Vicky is quoted as saying that the decision to sell it to Dick Clark ended up putting her children through college from the royalties she would eventuallly receive.
