What's On Tonight (Saturday): The Elephant man

Ghost Elephants

I love you 3000! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 7!

Our Top Pick tonight is Ghost Elephants (National Geographic, 9 p.m. / Disney+ & Hulu, Sunday). This documentary is the latest work from Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, The Fire Within, Encounters at the End of the World, etc.) and focuses on a Steve Boyes, a conservation biologist who believes there's an undocumented species of elephant in the highlands of Angola. This doc follows him and a team as they search. It had me at "Werner Herzog."

Elsewhere, Ryan Gosling is Live from New York, Hannah Swensen is on the case, Jenny Hagel has News, Russell Crowe stands trial at NurembergDuck Dynasty's revival is still a thing, baseball has its Classic, and One Piece enters its own elephant country.
