Maybe the biggest promotion would go to Howard Morris who went from being a no-account Ernest T. Bass, to George the TV repairman. Of course then he went on to be the great Leonard Blush, but somehow got un-promoted back down to Ernest T. Bass when Malcolm Merriweather showed up. And just like Howard Sprauge wasn't Ed the insurance man, but rather Jack Dodson playing different characters, the same would apply here. And if you really wanted to get technical, you could say Ernest T. Bass got promoted to Director of several of the following episodes. And also, anybody whose been here a while knows that Clara Edwards was once Clara Johnson, just like Goober Pyle used to be Goober Beasley, and Floyd Lawson was Floyd Colby.
