A wonderful conversation with the legend Moe Howard No Copyright (C) Infringement Intended.This Video & Audio Is Used For Entertainment Purposes Only.All Right's Belong To Its Owners
I'm the same age as you and I agree, they were like no other. We used to run home after school to see the first episode at 3:30 in the afternoon. We did get carried away at times recreating scenes we saw. LoL I'll watch them every chance I get.
The way Moe chokes up when talking about the original Curley (his brother) really tore at my heart. Clearly talented Moe was obviously a very smart man too... Rip all the Three Stooges. We the fans still love and miss you!!
Moe basically killed Curly. All those slaps and blows to the head were more real than most people are aware of. They took their toll on Curly and eventually lead his early death.
Curly had high blood pressure which caused him to have strokes. He loved food, so he was eating pretty unhealthy. Blows to the head will most likely given him concussions and eventually he would've had aneurysms or maybe even a brain tumor/cancer. If brain truma can cause strokes. Football players, Boxers and Wrestlers should all be suffering from strokes. Especially the retired athletes. Those people get/gotten hit twice as hard and more frequently than Curly did.
Listening to this really brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. It was such a heart felt story from a man who has seen so much adversity along with the great success of his career. The look in his eyes when he speak of Curly and Shemp and the early years and the optimism of the show must go in in his voice. I only wish I was alive to see it when it aired.
My dad took me to see Moe, Curly, and Joe at the Pomona County Fair back in the mid-60s! I was so excited (and my dad!) when Joe saw me waving and waved back! Great day! Thank you for this memory !
@@jackaction7077 No troll comment, I was absolutley alive then and I did shake his sweaty hand. He was just finishing a show and Curley Joe, Larry and Moe were coming down the isle, I jumped up just before he got to me and I blocked the isle and stuck out my hand, he stopped and shook my hand the kept walking. I was 10 years old.
THANK THE GREAT 3 STOOGES FOR MANY YEARS OF GREAT COMEDY KNOW ONE CAN COMPARE TO YOU GUYS NO ONE YOUR COMEDY WAS A GREAT SKILL MAY YOU ALL R.I.P 😀😁😂😪😭🙏
Moe was truly the boss Stooge American treasure three stooges will always have a special place in my heart Curly and Shemp were always my favorite Moe really owned this interview bravo.
Moe Howard appearances on The Mike Douglas Show in 1973,, Moe, despite his age here, was in great form as he chatted with Mike about Three Stooges History and recreated classic Stooges Moments.. Moe passed away peacefully 4 May 1975 r.i.p
This is one of the reasons why I love RU-vid. I’ve never seen an interview with any of the Stooges before and only saw them in their shows. Great to hear and see Moe outside of the show. Also great to see the great Ted Knight as well. Knight was great in Caddyshack which had an awesome cast.
yes, and the host was polite and intelligent enough to actually be quiet and listen to his guest, instead of constantly interrupting and talking over him, like many do these days
Ted Knight was a kid during the Depression of the 1930s. I can only imagine how much joy the Three Stooges brought to people during the difficult era. Moe Howard was a treasure as were all the stooges. May they rest in peace.
I'm so grateful for Mike Douglas booking the last surviving member of the Stooges on his show...Moe Howard's show business anecdotes were both informative and entertaining...I'll bet that if Moe hadn't lost his battle with lung cancer on May 4th, 1975, Mike would've invited him on at least 2 more times...
+paul simmons Not true..Larry,Joe Besser and "Curly Joe"De Rita were still alive..when Moe was on this show...Although Besser and De Rita and Moe were still performing during this time.
WoW! I love the stooges since I was a kid. Great memories of rushing home after school with my kid brother. He'd get the TV on while I made us bologna sandwiches for a snack. We'd laugh our butts off. And Moe, what a sweet guy he is here. Thank you for posting this. I'm gonna have to watch them all.
Absolutely the BEST comedy trio in entertainment history! And that goes with both Shemp, Curly and the two Joes! The Three Stooges will always be loved by us lucky fans who grew up laughing at their antics! Legends of their Craft...Legends in their own time and beyond! RIP Three Stooges!!! You'll all be missed with love!!!
Never saw this before, great stuff. When I was a kid I wrote to Moe Howard and Larry Fine and received in return handwritten letters and autographed photos. This was in the 7Os, when the Stooges were underappreciated ---Larry, unless I'm mistaken, was living in an old actors' home at the time, maybe Moe, too. Of the many things I've lost and miss, those letters are at the top of the list.
I also corresponded with Moe when I was a young kid those letters were the greatest ever! Handwritten on blue Skytooges stationary even. Moe was living at home.
@@bradtaylor5953 He and Larry were always at pains to tell kids NEVER to perform their stunts, it was all make-believe, etc. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for them since then.
I saw this show and it ended with Moe, Mike Douglas and Ted Knight having a pie fight. A truly great moment in that wonderful era of Daytime talk shows long before Springeresque sleaze. ☺
I remember back when the Stooges came on every evening on AMC in the early 2000s. My brother and I never missed an episode. We always finished our homework and ate dinner in record time so we could watch the Stooges. 😀
my mom would always watch the late afternoon talk shows like mike douglas and merv griffin. i would get to see them sometimes when i got home from school or work. we all loved the stooges.
What's a serious icon. As a child every day in the summer, I used to sit and watch the Three Stooges while eating my lunches. Slam Bang Theatre. I loved it.
I'm curious. Did you grow up in the Dallas area in the 60s??? Because I did and remember watching called slam bang theatre with an Mc named icky twerp.
The 3 stooges,were required watching in my household,they were of the Jewish Faith,and Larry fine,was one of the Howard cousins.They are all gone the perveyers,of comedy greatness.may they rest in peace,thanks for all the great laugh,the same with ted Knight who I met,in NYC,over 20 years,ago infact,1986 the year he died.God bless them all.
There were times when watching the Mary Tyler Moore show that I thought of Ted, Murray, and Lou as a 70s version of the 3 Stooges. Grumpy boss Lou, of course, was "Moe". Ted was almost as silly as Shemp or Curly, and man-in-the-middle Murray was "Larry".
This was great, I loved the Stooges when I was a kid, never realizing that they'd been made 30 years earlier! Moe passed away when I was in high school and a classmate of mine went around the school before class and wrote "Oh woe is Moe" on every blackboard in the entire school and it was a big school! They touched a lot of lifes.
I'm so glad I caught this video, I loved watching Moe in this interview. I loved his stories. I grew up watching The Three Stooges, they were 😂 😂 funny. Moe created most of the material for the shows. So real
I read about an account around 1974 of a teenage boy who loved the Stooges and somehow found Moe's address . He wrote him asking if there was any chance he could meet him (expecting nothing) but to his surprise Moe invited him to his home. His parents took him and he got to meet and chat with his idol. He said it was the most thrilling time of his life. Moe even gave him some souviners and of course autographs. He must have been a nice man.
Chip, as entertaining as Moe was w/ Mike Douglas during this segment, I really wished there was an interview of "Curly" (dunno his real name). Besides, everyone loves Curly ;)
I grew up on the Stooges because my dad was a huge fan, and now my kids have grown up on them because of me. I've seen every episode many times and still laugh as if it were the first time I'd seen them.
We always thought that Shemp joined the Stooges later, but he was really one of the originals. Great stuff here. Gems from the age of Vaudeville. Moe is a great storyteller. .
I got to meet them in person back in 1961 when they toured Brooklyn's Walker Theatre with their new film. All us kids were hugging them and they made us feel special.
As a child of the 50s we had enough common sense to know this was humor and entertainment . Today's generation is over protected with no consequences for their actions and words. Let alone respect.
If only that were true, but every generation has had its issues with censorship. In the 1950s, Lucy on "I Love Lucy" was forbidden from using the word "pregnant" on TV and had to tell her husband Ricky that she was "expecting". Not to mention TV shows in the 50s couldn't show married couples in a double bed, they always used twin beds,. Also in 1954, a psychiatrist convinced Americans that comic books were turning America's youth into juvenile delinquents and so comic books were also censored.
I agree wholeheartedly. And you know what, you never hear Moe complain about anything, in any of his interviews. He never has a bad thing to say about anyone. He truly was one of the greats!
I didn't appreciate these men in my childhood. Not until I was an adult did I see the art and skill they had. They were tops in their field. I wish there had been less sadness in their lives and, like Laurel & Hardy, that the studios had not been so greedy with residuals and film rights etc. Rest rest gentlemen, you are still loved today. 💘🕊
Moe Howard was absolutely correct concerning his statements pertaining to children who imitate actions the see on TV. If a child has a psychological problem then it will not matter what that child sees on the TV. The child will still make the the same mistakes that children make with psychological problems make. Those mistakes in which Mr. Howard was leading to are the mistakes of a child reenacting a dangerous violent act seen on television because the child cannot distinguish reality from a TV program. In many ways, and I have been saying this for over 30 years, programs that depict violent acts like those on The Three Stooges programs are actually beneficial in that they bring to light, at an early age, people who have psychological problems. Unfortunately society has become too PC to understand what is good and what is bad. Can anyone name the moment in which society turned its back on sound reasoning and started applauding the absolutely ridiculous in society? Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time and put a bullet in the head of who ever was responsible?
Ummm. Do you think it makes your point about society by talking about killing someone? As for PC, that's a made up term which really means nothing. Is it right to shoot someone? No. That's wrong. Is it correct to say that is wrong? Yes. The people who made up that false term, lie constantly. They harass and insult people on a daily basis. Is that correct behavior? No. There is nothing political about good and bad behavior. The stooges behavior is outrageous. They do things that normal people know not to do. But that is also true for lying, harassing and insulting. Normal people know enough not to do that. Again, politics has nothing to do with that. But some people in our society cheer that behavior on. Just like we cheered the stooges on. But the thing is that the stooges was purely for entertainment. No one really got hurt. Unfortunately what goes on today with the lies, harassment and insults results in real people getting hurt. And because some people don't know better, the ones doing the real hurting are paid well for that. That is what is absolutely ridiculous.
Moe was the man! Very smart dude indeed. Everyone way back liked Curly but I always liked Moe the best. Loved it whenever he would "dash" someone in the forehead.
The Three Stooges are national treasures. Mike Douglas was a remarkable host and some how got a parade of talented entertainers who did not do tv. Mr. Douglas you too are a national treasure.
