THREE STOOGES Documentary - Hey Moe! Hey Dad! Episode 8: Curtain Call 

16:08. Shemp's last TV appearance, The Eddie Cantor Comedy Theater, April 30th, 1955, seven months before his death.

@18:19 Danny Thomas calling Moe "aged Beatle": priceless.

Paul: just found this channel & watched all 8 (so far) episodes. Simply wonderful. Congratulations on putting together this beautiful account of growing up with your dad and the Stooges.👍🏼😂❤️

Those Three Stooges have always been a riot, yet their personal lives are just a precious as they are on the screen! ❤️

I LOVE this channel

Thank you sharing the full story. I've been a fan for 50 years and still laugh at the two reelers. Undeniably funny always!

I owned one of their records, it was a little yellow record under the label golden records, it was a take on the Christmas song "Deck the halls", they sang "Wreck the halls" and had a lot of sound effects of them falling off the ladder and disagreeing with each other.

0:42-3:16 music to my ears. After Curly & Shemp died, Moe & Larry (like Abbott & Costello and Laurel & Hardy before them) were getting into their twilight years 9:09-9:32 It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and 4 for Texas were awesome, but were even better with the trio 16:49-17:02 only the Stooges can get away with that 😂 15:10-21:10 these are now relics; along with Moe & Larry meeting Frank Sinatra twice (1952 with Shemp on Sinatra’s show, 1963 with Curly Joe in 4 for Texas), former The Price Is Right host Bob Barker had Moe & Larry and Curly Joe on Truth or Consequences in 1969. If only Moe & Larry played fictionalized versions of themselves in an episode of Dark Shadows with Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins), before Larry had his career-ending stroke 27:34-31:09 Larry’s life changes for the worse 😭😭😭 31:23-31:38 the Kooks Tour theme had me dying laughing 😂 36:37-38:34 here’s pie in your eye 40:53-41:41 Japan is Godzilla country 🇯🇵 48:07-51:08 only the son of Moe can get away with that 😂

Woot woot another one! Thank you so much for sharing them with us! God Bless you!

37:05 Soupy Sales REALLY should have known better. 😂😂 I am SO glad you posted this documentary series. I truly enjoyed it. I bought it a long time back, and I still watch it when I can.

The immense joy the Stooges brought to me and The Millions !!

I’m 51, all I watched when I was a little boy was the 3 Stooges. My father loved them therefore I grew up with them and loved them as well. Watching this series has brought back so many memories, such a good feeling inside. I tear up with all my thoughts. What icons, what extraordinary people you all were and are. I wish I can personally say hi someday. Thank you again.

This was my favorite part of the series. I had always thought once Curly Joe was introduced they kind of just flopped, but it was awesome to see them going well into the 60's pulling crowds like the Beatles!

My Uncle, actor Bo Anderson, worked with the Three Stooges in Snow White and the Three Stooges. Never knew that until recently when doing an IMDB search. Wished I could have met the Stooges in person but happy to settle for meeting Moe's Daughter Joan and Curly's youngest Grandson. Already been to all their graves to pay my respects.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CREATE AND SHARE THESE PRECIOUS MOMENTS, MEMORIES, AND EXPERIENCES WITH US. I've loved the Three Stooges my entire life. It wasn't until recently though that I learned how hard these men worked, how much dedication they had, and how much they went through to create these characters, and to keep them going. I have found a huge admiration, as well as a HUGE🙏RESPECT for these men, this family of brothers, and their history. This was a AMAZING series of videos! I plan to binge watch them again and again, as well as show friends these wonderful stories. Thank you again and Rest In Peace🙏🕊🙏🕊🕊🙏🕊🙏🙏🕊 to all of these legendary actors. Iconic men, and incredibly talented comedic geniuses. Sleep well and be with God.

My uncle knew the boys in the early 6os. I have a photo of him playing at the piano. He told me Moe was a gentleman .

Can't wait for the next Episode. That anecdote about Moe not recognising who he was signing an autograph for was brilliant!

It's too bad they didn't find Curley Joe DeRita until after Besser. I think things would have been a little different had CJD been Shemps replacement. One of my favorite Stooge Cameos is their few seconds as firemen in Mad Mad Mad World

Seeing the picture of Moe and Larry in their later days made me cry 😢❤ when I was a kid in the 90s watching the stooges I didn't realize that they were already gone.. I really thought my whole childhood that I would meet them one day.. Just glad we still have many of their work archived so that it lives on forever ❤

Moe has always been my favorite stooge. Shemp is just as funny as Curly, its a tie. Moe makes me laugh my ass off and Its his ridiculous meanness. Eye pokes and scissors on the nose are brutally funny. All the stooges acting is excellent too. They react realistically.

I never truly excepted CJ. He was an imitation Curly.

Wow...I had no idea they were as big as they were in the 60s and 70s, that's awesome. I'm wondering, you know the movie about Laurel and Hardy that came out not long ago....wonder if there was any talk of doing a Stooge one like that? Not the movie, but a more serious one

I am happy to have shared the Earth for a short time with The Three Stooges . From 1969 on til the end .

36:07 was there an actual video taken of this event? It gives an indication that there is.

GREAT DOCUMENTARY PRESENTATION

There were 80,000 at CNE stadium in Toronto. I missed it. Just about everyone I knew who is my age was there.

8:43 Moe listed their birth years at the bottom. He has Jo DiReta as born in 1908. Internet says 1909. I'm inclined to believe Moe, since he worked with him everyday.

I first watched this on Decades TV in around 2017 or 2018. I think of Paul Howard as "the reluctant Stooge".

That pilot in 1949 was good. I enjoyed it. Just saw it in full recently on my quest to watch all the Stooges shorts in order.

amazing compilation

This is so good!

A bit disappointed there wasn't more said about Emil Sitka and his relationship with the group. Otherwise it was a very good segment.

54:01 Adam West from Batman TV.

We are almost reaching the end of the documentary of Moe. One more episode and we’re officially done. Edit: At 41:25 It’s hard to believe to all you weebs, but in Japan, The Three Stooges was common. I also love the fact that Moe was saying the Japanese alphabet. Edit 2: Moe looks cute.

Next to Laurel and Hardy,the stooges are the funniest guys to appear on film.

Thank You

I think David Letterman and Craig Ferguson would have wanted Moe Howard on their shows. He would have been great hosting NBC's Saturday Night(Later renamed Saturday Night Live).

Sounds like Minions

This series has answered so mamy questions i have alawys wondered about. Who were these guys in real life.

34:10. Larry's voice sure sounds rough in that interview. All those head bops Larry took certainly didn't help his cause any.

Love Don Lamond

I wonder if the comic books would count as in universe for the Stooges?

I absolutely love the series found it today Moe and Curly were my ultimate favorites Larry what is the king of kings also but most sun sounds a little negative all I have to say about the matter

The story of the Three Stooges is just as, if not more exhilarating as the work they did! How (I always thought) Shimp was a "poor replacement for curly" was actually THE original third stooge! Terribly sad, yet motivating life story... Moe watched so many stooges die/lose their ability (in a sense...) He seemed to take it so well. But Larry's death seemed to be all he could handle... Moe past on 4 months after, still trying to preform. While the set "led him on" "We'll record next weekend... We'll record next weekend..." His and their work ethic, and just their morals in life... So few could even remotely compare these days... And in many-to-most ways, people like them will never be seen again... I only wish they fully understood how much they were loved... (Example) They were taking a train to a show to preform, a crowd of at least a thousand were waiting for their chance to see them walk passed... And Moe was modest enough to ask who the VIP's were A true man in every sense of the term I could go on for ever....

The son in law and kids exploited them later in life. Sad state of affairs there. And I know personally......

3 Stooges rule 4-ever⭐️⭐️⭐️

The gentleman..trying to give Paul Howard..a haircut..on that western movie set..is not a barber..it's movie and tv character actor:Raymond Hatton.

Why tf does no one ever mention the western movie they did with shemp? It's like I'm the only one who saw it.

Thoughts on Buddy Hacket being a stooge? I always thought he would have been a great stooge.

Paul seems like a legit jerk. Ppl would kill to have 2 mins with Moe Howard. And he spent his whole life resenting it. That's actually very discerning. Not feeling that dude.

After Shemp and Curly croaked Joe Besser carried the show.

how did Whoopi goldberg get involved with this ?

Snow White was their worst movie. Nothing funny about it.
