Their hallmark was physical farce and slapstick.<br /> In films, the Stooges were commonly known by their first names: "Moe, Larry, and Curly" or "Moe, Larry, and Shemp", <br />among other lineups depending on the films; there were six or seven stooges. Moe and Larry were always present until <br />the very last years of the ensemble's forty-plus-year run.<br />The act began as part of a late-twenties vaudeville comedy act, Ted Healy and his Stooges, consisting of Healy, Moe <br />Howard, his brother Shemp Howard, and Larry Fine. The four made one feature film entitled Soup to Nuts before Shemp<br /> left to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by his younger brother Jerome (Curly Howard), and the trio eventually <br />left Healy to launch their own act, billed as The Three Stooges.<br />Curly suffered a debilitating stroke in May 1946, and Shemp returned, reinstating the original lineup until Shemp's <br />death in November, 1955. Film actor Joe Palma was used as a temporary stand-in; the maneuver thereafter became known as<br /> the term of art Fake Shemp—to complete four Shemp-era shorts under contract. The coining of the term took place before<br /> a new contract from Columbia but after comic Joe Besser joined as the third Stooge in a run '56–57—but he left in 1958 <br />to nurse his ailing spouse. Columbia Pictures terminated its shorts division and released its Stooges contractual rights <br />to the Screen Gems production studio. When Screen Gems syndicated the shorts to television, the Stooges became stars. <br />They also made a cameo appearance in the 1963 comedy classic It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.<br />Comic actor Joe DeRita became ("Curly Joe") in 1958, replacing Besser. With the television exposure, the act regained momentum <br />throughout the 1960s as popular kiddie fare until Larry Fine's paralyzing stroke in January 1970. Fine died in 1975 after a<br /> further series of strokes. Moe tried one final time to revive the Stooges with longtime supporting actor Emil Sitka in <br />Larry's role, the proposed lineup sometimes erred to as The Three Stooges, Mark V, but this attempt was cut short with Moe'<br />s death in May 1975.<br /><br /><br /><br />three stooges,the three stooges,three stooges curly,the three stooges in color,stooges,<br />three stooges funniest moments,the three stooges funniest moments,three,three stooges hd - beer barrel polecats color,long,chumps,<br />Tv,Film,Movies Film Animation Cartoons Tv Television,Movies,Television,full lengh,the new three stooges,the 3 stooges,the three stooges
