The Greatest Show on Earth” is the slogan for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus.

The slogan “The Greatest Show on Earth” was used by Barnum and Bailey while the Ringling Bros. used “World’s Greatest Shows” to promote their act. In 1907, Ringling Bros. bought Barnum and Bailey, although the two shows continued to tour separately until 1918.

Hutchinson, soon shortened to "Barnum & Bailey's". This entertainment phenomenon was the first circus to display three rings. The show's first primary attraction was Jumbo, an African elephant that Barnum purchased in 1882 from the London Zoo.
The Barnum and Bailey Circus still contained acts similar to his Traveling Menagerie, including acrobats, freak shows, and General Tom Thumb. Barnum persisted in growing the circus in spite of more fires, train disasters, and other setbacks, and he was aided by circus professionals who ran the daily operations. He and Bailey split up in 1885, but they came back together in 1888 with the "Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show On Earth", ...
