Super Circus was in its final season under that title when, in February 1956, the Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore) stopped by to visit with the show's new ringmaster, Jerry Colonna (Claude Kirschner and Mary Hartline, based in Chicago, were let go when the series moved from Chicago to New York), and perform a few tricks.
Prior to becoming an actor, Clayton Moore was, in fact, a real life circus acrobat.
ABC actually rebooted Super Circus into the primetime Circus Time, with Paul Winchell taking over as ringmaster/host, aided, of course, by Jerry Mahoney & Knucklehad Smiff.
In 1980, the producers of Filmation's Lone Ranger paid a sort of homage to Moore by setting one episode at the circus.
