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.
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.
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 !
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.
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".
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
This is one of the reasons why I love UA-cam. 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.
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. 😀
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.
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.
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. ☺
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 met him on the boardwalk at Atlantic City back in 1963, where he was making an appearance. My brother was stunned into silence, but I can talk to anybody anytime- and he was so nice to a little 5 year old girl. He was smoking a big cigar and took several minutes to talk to me. I've never forgotten it.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 😀😁😂😪😭🙏
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 ;)
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.
As a kid in the 60’s watching reruns, I was shocked of their physical antics in their shows but loved the silly banter between them. As a 60 year old, I laugh my ass off watching the reruns enjoying everything about their crazy stunts. It really was meant for adults.
I'm really beginning to like them more. I like watching the old black and white shows, to hear or see the fashion or architecture, the way it was, the old phones. I was more a fan of Laurel and Hardy. But I do like the 3 Stooges, curly was so crazy funny!
Thanks for sharing this. I used to write back and forth with Mo Howard in the very early '70s I was not very old at all and of course he was quite old he sent me handwritten letters several times and also autographed photographs which I treasure. He was going to get me an autographed copy of his book which he had written but not yet fully published and he died before it was published. I still appreciate all those times he wrote me personally and by the way postage was 13 cents back then haha! I still have the letters and photos and keep them with a copy of his book which I later had to buy on my own of course.
yes. thanks for posting this. I grew up watching the stooges. all the shorts they did. my 6th grade teacher used to show us old reels of Larry, Moe and Curly and Laurel and Hardy.
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!!!
Moe still had all his hair and all his money. Such a great story that he was filthy rich because he saved it all and made great investments. And that 24 year contract he had was probably in the millions and millions , kind of like a Jim Carey contract.
I think you are being quite optimistic that the Stooges made millions upon millions. Actors did not generally receive residuals back then. Plus they were a film act originally. TV came later and I would presume that they were sold short. Maybe Moe was a good personal investor and shrewd financially but I would be fairly sure he got ripped off to some degree.
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. .
When I was a kid Moe, Larry and Curly Joe came to Buffalo and I saw them perform at the Glen Casino - OMG they were nuts. At one point, Moe kicked Curly Joe and he fell to the mat (they were in a boxing ring with no ropes up) and an Indian head nickel fell out of his pocket and rolled right over to my older brother, who grabbed it! We had it for years but we were kids so who knows where that nickel ended up! But I got to see them alive!!!
My bff had her first daughter 38 years ago. She had to have an emergency C-section. I helped around the house until she was well enough to get around on her own. I asked her, "What do you want to watch?" The Three Stooges we're on KTLA channel 5 and we couldn't make it 5 minutes. We kept laughing and laughing that she couldn't take the pain of her incision. We had to change the channel. 😢
Thank you for this, they were my childhood heroes!
Your welcome Moe is a legend
Check out Jump in the Saddle on UA-cam doing the "Curly Shuffle." Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk.
Have you realized he can swear
They're still my childhood legends and I'm still a child at 56. Watch them every Saturday night at 6 PM.
The guy still is my hero! Did you hear the way he spoke out against slapstick censorship???? An American Legend that will never be forgotten.
May the Stooges rest in peace. They brought much laughter to this insane world and for that we are eternally grateful.
The original Beavis and Butthead
Amen G56
They are in heaven now entertaining God and others and enjoying it.
@@kevinhasch6439 yeah I think the 3 stooges might had gotten a laugh out of those two numbskulls.their as indestructible as the 3 stooges are.
@@kevinhasch6439 beavis and moe
I am Generation X, but I've watched every Stooge episode ever made. Love those guys. Heartbreaking about Curly ...
Lol now all you need to do is watch the movies and cameos they had then you'll be all caught up 😂
what happened to curly?
It's strange that Jerry ( Curly) developed dementia so young, died before he was even 50. The stroke he suffered must have been a bad one.
They ran from 1922 till 1975. Moe was the only one there all the way.
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!!
Yup he really love his brother, especially Curley, what a guy
Curly was the youngest brother. Moe was very close to him
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.
Every day.
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.
I loved this. Moe still sharp as a tack. Sadly, he would pass 2 years later. This show was taped in 1973.
Amazing man and him and the boys brought us a ton of laughter that is for sure. A true legend right here!
sounds like he was still pretty sharp in this interview.
Was he joking about Shemp being his real life older brother and Curly was his real life young brother.
the yr after I was born ..
@@matt7iron No, he wasn't joking. They were siblings, all last name Howard.
Never will be anyone or group come close to their talent or ability, am almost 70 now still watch them and love them.
Laurel and Hardy were the originals and opened the door for the stooges. Love both of them.
it's more like THOSE TIMES & AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES AT A REASONABLE PRICE are what's gone today. It's all about $$ greed & fame
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 moment someone says "Never" [or "Always"]...it's just a matter of counting down before the "exception" emerges.
@@ThomasFromTN I truly hope someone of equal or greater talent emerges, we need laughter now more than ever .
Rip Moe. The three stooges are my favorite comedy team. Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk. Thanks for posting this.
The Three Stooges were legends of comedy. May they RIP
Indeed, inspiration for comedians for eons... RIP!
RIP Stooges. Your laughter will endure in our hearts forever.

I believe he meant Moe, Larry and Curley Joe.
@@terryasheim9038 Entirely possible. Whoever was there, it would have been great!

Comedy at it’s finest, nothing will ever come close to these legends
This is one of the only times I've seen Moe just being himself. The same with Ted Knight.
Yes, nice to see both actors without their "makeup" on.
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".

Really? Wow.

Truth Indeed

I think Moe was speaking of Ted Healy, not Knight.....
Truth Indeed
How polite everyone was back then.
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
Back when people acted like decent human beings and actually showed respect for one another.
I watched a video of people in the 40's in new york, they were so polite and friendly. It is sad to see what has happened over the last 30-40 years.

Same here... got out of school at 3pm in the 60's and the stooges came on at 3:30 on the Nickelodeon Theater out of Chicago on WGN.
Larry was my favorite. His reactions and facial expressions cracked me up. Always watch what he's doing, you'll see
Mine as well. Larry's bewildered take on things happening around him were priceless.
Thank you Mr Howard. You and your brothers are a national treasure. Some of the best comics in history...
3 Stooges brought so much laughter and joy to millions, and never used vulgar language, or indecent scenes.
I still watch reruns
I bought the whole Stooges library on DVD......Best money I EVER spent....
They brought many laughs in a hard time in life RipM.C.Howard. Shemp .
Oh the memories of my Dad and I watching the Stooges on the old black and white t.v.
I spent many happy days laughing at them.. laughing is good for the soul. Thank you.. thank you very much.. ❤️

Agreed. Mike Douglas was a trail blazer. Had so many wonderful guests and moments.
I loved the way Moe called Larry porcupine. Curly always had me in stitches, but Shemp was great, too. Still the best comedy act ever in my book.

AceripXF How did his eyebrows stayed thick and black on him!?
Yes?and I also loved Laryy.

Len Drury Wow, My life was a lie. Just like that time when I thought he was rude until I realized he’s not.
Wow Moe was on fire during this interview. I could listen to him talk all day.
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.
I greatly enjoyed this video. Always watched them whatever they were in.
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 😀😁😂😪😭🙏
I remember going to the Mike Douglas show with my parents in Philly. I think the best one for me was Tiny Tim.
I would have given anything to meet Moe, Larry, Curly, or Shemp.
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 ;)

What a brilliant mind has Moe! He's a terrific storyteller...great timing and with a memory, only a computer could beat.
MeTV still has the 3 stooges shows on TV. I watched them as a kid and still love them at the age of 77.
It was Saturday morning in Medford Mass. in the 60s and 70s watching the 3 Stooges for Me. Good I miss those days.
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.
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis briefly rocked the Moe Howard haircut. xoxo The Clarences
As a kid in the 60’s watching reruns, I was shocked of their physical antics in their shows but loved the silly banter between them. As a 60 year old, I laugh my ass off watching the reruns enjoying everything about their crazy stunts. It really was meant for adults.
i think their physical comedy brought one of them a stroke
Don't forget it was a different time. They could get away with a lot more back then
I'm really beginning to like them more. I like watching the old black and white shows, to hear or see the fashion or architecture, the way it was, the old phones. I was more a fan of Laurel and Hardy. But I do like the 3 Stooges, curly was so crazy funny!
Thanks for sharing this. I used to write back and forth with Mo Howard in the very early '70s I was not very old at all and of course he was quite old he sent me handwritten letters several times and also autographed photographs which I treasure. He was going to get me an autographed copy of his book which he had written but not yet fully published and he died before it was published. I still appreciate all those times he wrote me personally and by the way postage was 13 cents back then haha! I still have the letters and photos and keep them with a copy of his book which I later had to buy on my own of course.
Moe Howard a legend he remembered his whole stooge life good memory wish they were still around
1975 - I remember watching this at the hospital! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome Mary
Ted Knight! RIP also!
Truly comic genius’. Never missed an episode...all 200 of them.
You gave laugh’s that made my face hurt after a while. Priceless...!!
I am so happy to see him do an interview to know about Moe and the Stoogies.
Man the stooges made my childhood the best..bless them forever.
He was so coherent, even after decades of taking all those blows to the head ! 🧐
What a great interview, I am so glad I caught this... you can see Moe is still sharp as a tack when this was filmed.
Moe Howard and Ted Knight on the same stage... PRICELESS!!!
For Moe, a great inspiration of mine, thank you, Sir.
Two comedy geniuses, Moe and Ted, cool man both so very funny. Thank you both for making us laugh ☮️
yes. thanks for posting this. I grew up watching the stooges. all the shorts they did. my 6th grade teacher used to show us old reels of Larry, Moe and Curly and Laurel and Hardy.
That was one of the smoothest, most respectful ways I've seen a talk show host interrupt a talkative guest. So smooth ...
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!!!
Good clean comedy. I hurried home from school to watch them. Back when there were only 5 channels
Moe still had all his hair and all his money. Such a great story that he was filthy rich because he saved it all and made great investments. And that 24 year contract he had was probably in the millions and millions , kind of like a Jim Carey contract.
I think you are being quite optimistic that the Stooges made millions upon millions. Actors did not generally receive residuals back then. Plus they were a film act originally. TV came later and I would presume that they were sold short. Maybe Moe was a good personal investor and shrewd financially but I would be fairly sure he got ripped off to some degree.
Not sure that was his hair either, but what do I know lol?
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. .
Hands down the BEST clip UA-cam algorithm has ever placed in front of me! I love the Stooges and learned a lot of trivia from this video. Thanks!
Got me through my whole childhood.
Love watching the three stooges as a kid...still do!!!
Great interviews so glad I found these older Mike Douglas shows with Moe Howard on tape.
i grew up watching The Three Stooges i think all kids should grow up watching them they are were iconic
lets make sure the poilet bearau (dems) don't send them the way of dr. zeuss
Brilliant actors for what they bought to the public! I really liked them all, but Curly was my favorite stooge! May the all Rest In Peace!
I grew up watching The Three Stooges,I really appreciated watching this interview with Moe. An I learned a lot about the making of The Three Stooges.
When I was a kid Moe, Larry and Curly Joe came to Buffalo and I saw them perform at the Glen Casino - OMG they were nuts. At one point, Moe kicked Curly Joe and he fell to the mat (they were in a boxing ring with no ropes up) and an Indian head nickel fell out of his pocket and rolled right over to my older brother, who grabbed it! We had it for years but we were kids so who knows where that nickel ended up! But I got to see them alive!!!
When times were hard you could always count on the 3 stooges to bring you up sure miss those times😌
Yes, I did that
Yep, when I was sick. I would watch King of Queens, In living color dvds, anything funny to make me feel better .
My mom watched Micheal Douglas in the afternoon wheni was very young. I remember seeing this appearance. This is amazing!
My bff had her first daughter 38 years ago. She had to have an emergency C-section. I helped around the house until she was well enough to get around on her own. I asked her, "What do you want to watch?" The Three Stooges we're on KTLA channel 5 and we couldn't make it 5 minutes. We kept laughing and laughing that she couldn't take the pain of her incision. We had to change the channel. 😢
