* In the original script for Sesame Street Episode 0894, David rushes to close Hooper's Store so that he won't miss Kojak, eliciting the help of Super Grover. The final episode omits the Kojak reference.
* In episode 113 of The Muppet Show, Bruce Forsyth makes jokes about Kojak. He says the show's been a hit in England, and referring to star Telly Savalas, says "He's such a sportsman... But he gets very annoyed at the bowling alley 'cause people keep sticking their fingers up his nose."
