these three guys slapped their way to
the top welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be exploring the history of
the three stooges come on this trio has
a long and storied history and started
out very differently than the group we
know and love today formed in 1922 they
began as an unruly American vaudeville
comedy troupe that focused on short
slapstick performances during that time
they went by several names including Ted
Healy
and his Southern gentleman why not
gentlemen speak for yourself oh the
troops original members included its
creator Ted Healy and his friends
brothers mo and Shemp Howard the shtick
had Healy attempting to sing and tell
jokes but he was constantly interrupted
by his bungling and noisy assistants
he usually responded with verbal and
physical abuse to hilarious results they
were eventually joined by comedian Larry
fine who replaced Shemp in 1925 after he
decided to pursue his own comedy career
however Shemp temporarily returned once
they started performing to sold-out
crowds this is when he appeared
alongside Moe and Larry in the Rube
Goldberg comedy film soup-to-nuts
what do you think you’re doing the
elevators in the walk the elevated they
elevated dance there’s no steps to it
younger brother Jerome replaced him
under the nickname Curley to
differentiate himself from his cast
mates he shaved his head and added his
own zany style into the mix
what happened look incredibly this
addition perfected the formula most
served as the irritable ringleader
what’s that pool we didn’t do nothing
action Asia do and I’m not around Larry
was its mop haired middle man oh my neck
how’s feeling now
all right and curling was the
bald-headed dimwit sold to the man with
the spittoon haircut I’ll get in
personally this already recognizable
trio expanded their audience when they
were hired by MGM Studios their
trademark I couching Shin kicking and
Curly signature chuckle all her mane in
1934 the gang decided they didn’t want
to play second banana to Healey and
parted ways with him unfortunately
Curley died of a heart attack in 1952
following an earlier stroke that left
him unable to work this caused Shem to
rejoin the team to help them produce 77
more film shorts until his own untimely
death from a heart attack in 1955
following this they cast comedian Joe
Besser
all Hello before he was replaced with
another curly this time comedian Joe
DeRita why you The Three Stooges shorts
aired regularly from 1958 onwards and
because of their antics they became a
favorite for children and parents to
enjoy together Larry Moe curly Joel dead
bodies guys I know incredibly they even
gained an entirely new following with
their TV reruns in the subsequent
decades due to this boost in popularity
the three stooges start in a string of
successful full-length comedies aimed at
the kiddie matinee market as I was
saying keep that cotton pickin fingers
off the offered button what do you think
I am dumb I don’t think I know I think

launch of a color TV pilot in 1960
called the three stooges scrapbook they

give me two words for when I’m having so
much trouble with one they retooled
their approach to TV in 1965 and
launched the successful program the new
Three Stooges this consisted of live
introductions conclusions and short
comedy skits that bookended animated
segments while children loved it
longtime fans dismissed the show as too
tame in 1969 they were greenlit for
another pilot the plan for the
travelogue sitcom kook’s tour was for it
to be shot on location around the world
but sadly production halted when Larry
suffered a debilitating stroke that
ended his career ultimately he passed
away in 1975 and that same year Moe also
died from lung cancer when the Stooges
era came to an end the act was
recognized for its contributions to
comedy despite the fact they violated
every rule their characters lack depth
weren’t subtle and always put the gags
ahead of the
oh why should I ahead clunker I came
from back in RT he didn’t do it and you

decades later Hollywood brought the
