Unfortunately, the full program is unavailable for viewing at this time. These clips from the original broadcast have resurfaced on various Three Stooges DVD collections.
It breaks my heart that the stooges didn’t get insanely famous til the late 60s and 70s when they had reruns happening on TV. Yes they where popular when they where alive but not as known worldwide like now and so sad there sold no interviews of Curley, Larry Moe or shemp. My whole life I was raised on the stooges. Brilliant. Always dear to my heart
@@swmovan Oh yes, especially Harry Cohn. He made sure the boys were underpaid, kept in the dark about how popular they truly were, forced Curly to keep working, instead of allowing him to rest after he fell ill, forced Moe to keep working, instead of allowing him to grieve after Shemp died. So if the dictionary had a definition of the word 'jackass,' they'd definitely have a picture of Cohn.
I love all the Stooges so much. My Dad would come grab me as a kid and say, "The Stooges are on"! We'd sit there together on the couch laughing like crazy. My mom would walk be and go, "Oh you guys". I sure miss those days.
They can never be replicated. The humor wouldn’t hold up today with a reboot but there’s something about the original that STILL cracks me up. It’s a gem
I worked at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital on Vermont near Sunset in Hollywood(Los Angeles California) from 1974-1976). Moe was there in isolation due to illness in 1975. My department was due to take inventory of our equipment in his room as well as others. I was in charge of that among other duties. However my manager had forbidden my going in yet he did the job himself. I missed a chance to meet or see Moe. He passed away shortly after.
I never tire of their antics. In the 1990’s I was in a recovery ward after surgery. There was a TV set on a cart for us to watch and the Three Stooges were on. Every time I laughed I hurt like hell where the surgery was.
At 3:22, the host mentions money, and the boys were very gracious about it, but they didn’t see a dime from the tv re-run packages. Columbia raked in millions from the Stooges on tv, but the SAG deal cut in the early 60’s allowed for no actor residuals to be paid for shows made before 1960. The Stooges did go on personal appearance tours, filled venues across the country and commanded top dollar for their live shows. Thanks so much for posting this.
I grew up watching The Three Stooges as a child in the 60s. I always loved them and still find them to be hysterically funny. I only wish they knew how much joy they brought to later generations of fans, and I also wish they had financially enjoyed a far greater level of success, since they richly deserved it. God bless their memories.
You guys are loved and appreciated by thousands of the world God bless you knuckleheads keep the laughs coming no one close to the 3 stooges your legacy of laughter and slapstick still continues on you may be gone but not forgotten still going just hilarious priceless and excellent outstanding true comedy at its very best the howards and fine family would be proud and laughing appreciate a good laugh and the memories you guys rock way to go ❤❤😂😂😅 !!! Joe
I wish there was an existence interview like this but with curly I’ve never seen him talk other than films it would be nice to see him have an actual conversation in his normal presence.
I used to watch three stooges when i was younger. These three guys where so funny. Moe, Larry and curry will never be forgotten. These guys are a legend. I love these guys.
These guys are the funniest people ever, hands down. Even the 2 Joe's were pretty good. Moe and Larry worked great together. Shemp was great, but Curley will not and cannot be beaten. Hats off to these legends.
My entire childhood was spent in their comedy, all these artists are legend, their acting ability is extraordinary, even at my middle age i love to watch them again again and again, no word is enough to describe their acting ability, their acting ability is very simple and fluent, at this age I remember old times when I watch their movies, i salute to them
Loved the three stooges as a kid watching their reruns. And now years later as middle age adult still watching them now on METV. I decided to search RU-vid to see if there was an interview with them and I found your video thanks for posting this. Rest in eternal peace to one of the best comedy teams 🙏 ever
Moe , Larry and Curly will always be superstars because they were extremely fantastic at what they did and they made us loao. But the sad part as someone mentioned that they didn't get popular until the 60's and 70's . May they forever be remembered by generations to come .
I read that kids were poking each other in the eyes, after seeing the stooges do it. After they heard about it, Moe stepped out & showed the kids how they did the bit, & that they didn't really poke the eyes.
I loved how it showed the people behind the characters of The Three Stooges. And how it lifted enough of the veil to show that behind the slapstick is normal people
I watched a few other interviews with the stooges. This really shows just how real that they were. Never got to see what they were really like after watching the shows.
Larry, Moe and Curly Joe- as we all know, both Daws Butler and Pat Harrington Jr. voiced the characters in 2 episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies on CBS in 1972!!!
God bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to god bless you knuckleheads keep the laughs coming no one close to the 3 stooges your legacy of laughter and slapstick still continues on you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong keep the laughs coming love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go the howards and fine family would be proud and laughing thanks for a good laugh and the memories !! Joe
Plummer Park is still there...now technically within the boundaries of West Hollywood, an incorporated city. The park is home to the Los Angeles Audubon Society and Art makes reference to birdwatchers at some point in the interview.
Here is a memory that dates back to when I was only 14 years of age and in 8th grade. I basically grew up watching the Three Stooges. I mainly remember watching them on WTAE Channel 4 Pittsburgh, PA. Anyway here is one thing I don't think I will ever forget. I will never forget my eighth grade Math teacher. That man incredibly like Curly Joe De Rita!!! I think this is the first time I told anyone that but my eighth grade math teacher which was 1973-74 over in Elkins, WV looked a lot like Curly Joe other than the teacher was probably heavier. Well anyway that is something i have wanted to say for years now and i have now after about 50 years now have said it!
"On the Go (CBS), April 15th, 1960 "Half-hour, morning series featuring interviews, human-interest stories and variety from the Los Angeles area, hosted by Jack Linkletter. "From Plummer Park in Hollywood CA (taped March 25, 1960), Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe DeRita are interviewed while attending a picnic with their families. In addition to the Stooges, Jack Linkletter talks to the family members. Topics discussed include real-life personalities" (Stooges Wiki)
What a ridiculous question, anyone with half a brain understands that actors are merely playing a part, the characters we see them portraying aren't who they are.
It's funny The Three stooges were around for like 30 years before they really became famous in the late sixties when they started showing reruns on TV.
@@MrMisterChiliPepper88 Sometimes you can't always go by Google, though. Moe has been described as 'five-four' most of his life, but his Columbia I.D. card stated he was 'five-three-and-one-half', specifically. Lyla Budnick, Larry's sister, said he was about 'five-four'. Shemp's medical/ military records have him at five-six. He is noticeably taller than Curly when he was present at Curly's wedding, so it is possible Curly was around five-five. I have also read that they were as short as five-one. Whatever the case, Moe and Larry look the same height most of the time, but I think Larry might be just a little, and I do mean little, taller.
There slapstick comedy is still a legend to this day watching them from every Saturday morning cartoons And I wanna say of course Tarzan with Johnny Wiesmuller Stars as Tarzan those were the days early 60,s I think
@@westy40 Nor much candid off-screen footage, either. The 1929 newsreel footage predates his joining, so it features Moe & Shemp (and some say they see Larry in the back), and even even the home movie-like Steel Pier footage from 1938 wound up being done in character and was edited into a full-on silent Three Stooges comedy! (Both are on RU-vid.)
Moe was ahead of his time w/ his bowl haircut. I wonder if any of the Beatles saw him, or if that was just a Liverpudlian hair style at the time? This interview w/ Art Linkletter's son is nice. So sad Jerome wasn't there. Haven't been able to find an interview w/ him. I'm sure there are a few out there...:(
Not really. Apparently he didn't like interviews and such things were far rarer in his day anyhow. You can find tons of old film mags going back to the 1910s on the Internet Archive and I've been combing some from the '30s-40s for Stooges-related material, but so far I've had better luck with the movie trivia filler pages in comic books of the era. As far as Moe's haircut, the Beatles loved comedy, and I've seen articles jokingly comparing the Fabs and the Stooges in '60s teen mags -- not to mention MAD, Cracked, Sick etc.
This was 1960. Jerome passed in 1952, so an interview would obviously be impossible. There doesn’t seem to be much or any interviews during the height of their career, and only recently after they retired they were starting to blow up in fame as television became more widely available around the world and more people around the world could watch these reruns.
The Beatles got their hair style from Jürgen Vollmer, who they befriended in Hamburg at the start of the Sixties. A couple of years later, John Lennon and Paul McCartney met up with Vollmer in Paris and requested the hairstyle. Vollmer himself cut and styled their hair
IVE HEARD CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS OF TED HEALY. NOTICE THE MAIN REASON HE DUMPED THEM IS MGM SIGNED HIM AS A CONTRACT PLAYER SANS THE STOOGES. HE WAS IN QUITE A FEW OF THEIR FILMS UP UNTIL HIS UNTIMELY PASSING
Aside from his association with Moe and Larry, Joe DeRita was no fan of the Stooges’ humor. He once said in an interview, “When I see that pie or seltzer bottle, I know that it's not just lying around for no reason. It's going to be used for something."
This man had no clue who he was interviewing. He had 2 of the three original stooges with their families and all he wanted to talk to about joe Derita ( no offense, liked him too), but it would have been nice to have an hour long interview with them.
The Stooges with Joe went on tour around 1959. I saw them live on stage at the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore. I was 8. Sat in the 5th row. When Moe slapped Larry the pancake make-up billowed off his face. Joe was not funny. Will never forget them.
Joan Howard didn't escape comedy completely -- she's co-credited with her husband Norm Maurer for writing one short feature in his Whack Comics series for St Johns publishing, for whom he also drew the Three Stooges comics in the 1950s.
I would of love to see an interview with babe AKA Curly Howard just to see how he was out of character to know who the real Curly Howard really was RIP to all of these gentlemen and thank you for makeing us laugh and pie throwing
