true. the mean, bossy, aggressive character that Moe played was just that-a fictional character played by a great actor. by all accounts, the real-life Moe was one of the nicest, kindest persons ever!
I first heard this interview 30 years ago, I was given a CD by another fan, which I still have somewhere. This is the BEST Moe Howard interview ever recorded. He tells the story so plainly and so gentleman and humbly. This was Moe Howard. Harry Cohn mistreated them for 24 years. Hollywood did not make Moe Howard rich. He was a businessman. And never a negative thing to say about anyone. I looked up to this man as a child and as an adult.
Moe Howard, what a fantastic human being. So grateful for him and the rest of the boys for sharing their gift of comedy to the world. During one of Moe's last interviews there was a comment that I'll never forget..."with a little luck, I think the 3 Stooges will live on forever" Rest in peace Moe Larry Curly Shemp Joe Curly Joe Ted Healy and Emil Sitka 💙
I used to watch him during school lunch hour. My grade school, during the fifties didn't have a lunch program. We had an hour to go home to eat. As we ate, we had a program called Captain Penny. Ron Penfound, a local newscaster hosted the show dressed as a railroad engineer. He would have interesting guests and show old cartoons and comedy shorts. Among those shorts were lots of three stooges' films. That was where I first saw Larry and Moe as live persons. As soon as they learned that their films were being shown on children's shows, they made a tour of those shows telling all the children, "Don't do those things you see us doing on the screen. We're trained professional stunt men and we know how to do those tricks without hurting each other." Those appearances left me with some respect for those guys. They didn't have to do that. They did it out of a sense of personal responsibility.
@@emmitstewart1921 Did the same thing myself between 70-73 in L.A. on Channel 52 after school. We watched the Stooges, The Little Rascals, Speed Racer, Kimba, etc.
I remember going home for lunch from school 🏫 too one hour only - Speed Racer The Monkees and the Stooges on Saturday night. A dreamy life for a 12 year old kid in 1978.
His memory is either failing in this interview, or he is being untruthful. Ken Lakey was a stooge for Healy before Moe and Shemp joined, as was a three person dance act, Syncopated Toes. Healy wasn't even in big-time vaudeville in 1922. In 1923 Healy married his first wife, Betty Braun, and formed the act Ted and Betty Healy. They were playing the Keith Circuit in New York in autumn 1923 when Moe and Shemp joined. The pear incident wasn't spontaneous; it was part of the act. Moe and Shemp each married in early 1925. They left Healy's act in spring 1925 because they didn't want to go on an Orpheum Circuit tour that would take them away from the east coast and their new brides. Moe then stayed out of show business until 1929. Shemp rejoined Ted and Betty Healy in 1926 and became his most important of several stooges. Shemp left Healy in 1928 to try his own act in small-time vaudeville, and Larry was hired to replace him. Shemp returned before the year ended. By this time, Betty had retired due to strained marital relations after Ted had a high profile affair with a socialite. The first time Shemp, Larry and Moe appeared together as Healy's stooges was in Cleveland in 1929. They starred in A Night in Venice on Broadway in 1929 as Ted Healy and his Racketeers. During the run of that revue Fred Sanborn became the fourth Racketeer. Howard, Fine and Howard left Healy in 1931 to try their luck as a vaudeville act. They performed Healy's material in a new west coast vaudeville circuit that was primarily movie houses with a few live acts. Healy had to sue over the material, but the court ruled in Howard, Fine and Howard's favor because the Shuberts, not Healy, owed the material that Ted wrote for their revues. Meanwhile, Healy was back on Broadway with other stooges for other producers. Howard, Fine and Howard returned to Healy's act in 1932. They opened in out of town tryouts for The Passing Show of 1932 when the producers, the Shubert brothers again, violated Healy's contract. Healy walked out. Shemp stayed with the show, and Larry and Moe went with Healy. After a brief return of Fred Sanborn, Curly joined the act.
How incredible! I am sure that Paul was overjoyed to hear this. I will never forget the "Stooge Shorts" that played in the Chicago area as I was growing up in the 1970's. I remember when Moe died in 1975. I cried my eyes out, and still have the newspaper clipping.

Moe was far from the Stooge that appeared onscreen. This interview is typical of his down-to-earth look at his life and career, and you can tell how seriously he took the business of making us laugh, and for which I will always be grateful. Rest well, Moe -- you earned every bit of it!
What a true gentleman. He was nothing like his on screen persona. I grew up watching the Stooges and still watch them today. Great comedy. Actually saw them live on stage at Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Baltimore in 1959. My father had me on his shoulders so I could see the stage. They even took questions from the audience. I remember a woman in the crowd asked about all the slapping and eye poking and Moe took the time to demonstrate how it was safely done but enhanced with sound affects in the Columbia shorts. Before Moe passed he did a few appearances on the Mike Doulas Show which are well worth watching. He even demonstrated his pie throwing technique.
I too met Moe in 1975 at a Radio Station, he gave me his home Encino phone number so I could play an Audio recording for him, even putting his wife on the phone. I wish I would have kept in contact but he died shortly after. Thanks for posting this
sfel10 wow that to me would have been such a privilege but I was only around 2 or 3 years old then LOL. I would have liked to met any of them. that's awesome that you did meet him.
I met Larry at the Motion Picture Country Home where he graciously allowed me to interview him. Sweet and gentle man. I wish I could be met Moe. He was the stooge I had a crush on when I was a little girl!
He possess such a sharp memory at an advanced age . Same was true when he appeared on the Mike Douglas Show. I was enthralled back when he went on the Douglas show . Thanks for posting this .
Moe passed away when I was a senior in high school. I wasn't into The Three Stooges much until 2020 when I bought the complete DVD collection of short features. Prior to that, I only had a VHS tape or two. Since buying the DVD collection, I've watched them all, in chronological order, straight through, *three* times. Now, I'll put one DVD on, watch nothing but that all evening, often watching each feature multiple times, knowing the lines by heart. It's amazing how much funny stuff they crammed into about 16 minutes. Their timing, expressions (e.g. Larry knocked out at the phone booth in Brideless Groom. 😂🤣😂!), the sound effects, I just enjoy and appreciate every second of their short features. They also had a GREAT group of recurring character actors, Emil Sitka (who I'll never forget after first seeing him as Sappington get that pie in the face and carrying on as if nothing had happened.😂), Dudley Dickerson (whether as a cook putting up with the Stooges destruction of the house, a watchman or a porter.😂), Vernon Dent, Christine McIntyre, Kenneth MacDonald (Give me the anesthetic. Well give it to me!! 🔨"🔔"), Stanley Blystone (I think of him whenever somebody says short ribs or creamed chip beef on toast. Poor Larry!😂), Gene Roth (Give me that filim!), Cy Schindell (steamed & pressed, or knocked out with two bricks, as a cop, or getting an Rx.), Tiny Brauer, and Symona Boniface ("Sword of Damocles" and getting ⬇️pied⬇️).😂🤣😂 I'm due for a fourth rewatch. 😉😁
Would have loved to meet him. My ma had a few of Lamparski's books and i read them cover to cover as a kid. Between her and my Yiayia, i have a deep appreciation for the classic movies and the actors and actresses from those years. Hope to pass it on to our granddaughter.
He sure was interesting and candid, and his memory was exemplary. Wish I could have met him back in the early 70s ... I understand that he always welcomed seeing and speaking with his fans.
RIP God Rest Your Soul Moe Larry Shemp & Curly U Guy's R Definitely Missed But Lucky For Us Stooges Fan's We Got Laughter For Watching Y'alls Episodes On RUclips OR On DVD
When I was a teenager, every saturday afternoon i went to my parents bedroom to watch in their TV The 3 Stooges. I remember i laughed so hard ! And, my mother, while washing, said: "God bless this laughing,wish you never loose it". God Bless my beloved mother and 3 Stooges for this memories ! Love Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp !
moe howard sir. when i die someday, i am gonna take all my happy memories into my grave. i am very much thankful to three stooges for giving me such happy memories of my childhood. i used to watch the show when i was a child and still watch it at the age of 34 . this show never gets old. my son will watch it as he grows up. thankyou uploader for another wonderful memory. i love moe curly and larry.
Moe, thank you for making me laugh all of these years. Those were some dark times for me but you three made life so much better. God bless you and yours. Much love and respect.
Can you imagine what Three Stooges outtakes look like? Of course back in those days when everything was on film they didn't want to waste too much and did as few takes as possible.
Listening to Moe in this and other interviews from later in his life, one would never imagine that this was a guy who dropped out of high school after just two months. He was not uneducated. Far from it. He just educated himself. It's well-known that he was fond of Horatio Alger books as a kid. He was so intelligent that he was likely just plain bored at school and didn't feel like he needed it, and his career and his life proved him right. One of the indicators of his brilliance is the fact that he could play a dim-witted stooge - a personality completely opposite of his own - and make it believable and entertaining, and he did so for decades.
Used to go by his home by boat as a kid with my dad, on Grapevine Lake in Texas. He would be sitting outside on his deck, in the sun. I was very young, but my dad told me who he was and introduced me to the Three Stooges. Still love them to this day and think about those days on the lake cruising by. He always waved back.
He reminds me of conversations I had with my grandfather ..always interesting and very personal, peppered with hundreds of lovely memories of events and friends and family
l was so happy for the boys when l watched a documentary and found out there was a HUGE outpouring of love and excitement among the grown up fans who brought *their* kids along when their career revived and they did live personal stage appearances. very heartwarming to know that.
Yes absolutely. And interviews with Shemp and Curly do not exist, that I know of.. I've never seen Shemp out of character; although they say he wasn't a lot different. Always joking and laughing. Curly was very shy and quiet, and probably would not have interviewed if Moe wasn't alongside him.
@@miketapley6445 Shemp was laughing and joking the night he died. He was laughing after having told a joke when he suddenly slumped over into his friend Al Winston's lap, burning him with the cigar he had just lit. Shemp was gone at the age of 60.
What strikes me with this interview is how alert and smart this dude is in his later years…he is dropping names and details of events from 40 and 50 years ago like it was last week….a testament to staying busy and active in your 0ld age…. A true legend Who gave so much to the world of comedy and laughter to the masses.
Moe Howard knew a whole lotta stuff from way back then before he started doing his film's ain't to many people knew stuff from way back In the day's like ol Moe Howard
I grew up as a kid in the eighties and loved these guys from day one! For the life of me I could never understand why most women disliked them so much? I think they were misunderstood by many people. They brought me a lot of joy in my childhood
@@Jondsmusic cool :) i USED to have a TON of 3 stooges stuff but most of it got lost when i moved or went down south carolina for the summer only things i have now are some vhs dvds n the 3 stooges dolls from spunko
I am amazed at this man's memory-sharp as a tack in his senior years, recalling names, dates, personalities, writers, directors, timelines, long defunct studio names and locations and details on movies, productions, contributors as if they had all had just recently happened to Moe, and not the 40-60+ years ago as he recounted here. Meanwhile there are those in my own life not half that time ago, the kind of persons that at the time it's so easy to think 'I could never forget this person, no way, not ever' only to do exactly that...what was his/her/their names again, when was that anyway, must have been around..." But Moe? He had a mind like a steel trap. Moe: Born: Moses Harry Horwitz, June 19, 1897, Brooklyn, New York, U.S. Died: May 4, 1975, Los Angeles, California, U.S. 10:55 "Broncho Billy" Anderson was the stage name of Gilbert Maxwell Aronson, America's first cowboy movie star. Anderson pioneered the genre that eventually produced stars such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers, Buck Jones, and Tom Mix. Anderson also worked behind the camera as a director and producer and developed production techniques still in use today. (Passed: January 20, 1971, South Pasadena, California 1971)
The Three Stooges are remembered for their slapstick, but they also did excellent parodies of popular movies of the day. Their short, "Disorder In The Court", was a direct parody of a now unknown movie called "The Drag-Net". "Men in Black" parodied medical drama, "Men in White." And the short "Punch Drunks" (featuring Curly as K O Stradavarius) was a take-off on the Warner Brothers classic, "Kid Galahad."
I've read and frequently reread Mr. Lamparski's "Whatever Became Of..." books. Even as a twelve-year-old I had an insatiable appetite for old-timey entertainers whether they be silent film stars, vaudeville legends or, well, the Three Stooges. I confess I had never heard Mr. Lamparski's voice before and it's quite wonderful.
The best way to see the OG Stooges in action with Healy is to look up the vaudeville sequence from the film Soup To Nuts. It's Shemp Moe and Larry, with Shemp as the boss of the trio and Larry as the underdog, doing what is essentially the same stage bits they'd done live on tour in the late 1920's.
48yrs old... Watched my entire life. Curly of course was always fav. But now... Moe was an amazing comedic presence. Moe was genius and his one liners.... What a once in a life time combination of comedic talent. To this day.... Unmatched "WAKE UP AND GO TO SLEEP" 😂
Thuis is a very important piece of Stooge history and clearly shows that Moe and the rest of the stogges had a method to their madness, real show biz professionals through and through. I still maintain that 500 years from now they will still be remembered and reruns of their shows will still be playing in Holodecks around the world.
One would never know by looking at the Three Stooges films but all of them were actually quite good looking in their younger days in regular clothes. I love this!
Marvelous that Moe was very generous with his time and did many interviews. Even though I have his autobiography and every Stooge book, I still hear something I never knew in these interviews.
Theres no greater comedians and comedy than the 3 Stooges. The work and talent these brothers and Larry put into this is phenomenal. They were destined to be together and Larry became their brother too in a way. Im 40 yrs old and my whole life because of my dad and family we grew up watching them every Saturday. I was in awe and never laughed hard. True geniuses and icons for ever and ever
19:00 -- I'm sorry, did he say his eyes got loaded with a bunch of powdered asbestos and ketchup?! I knew he had the most on-set injuries but that's new to me. What a trooper to take all that abuse and just carry on. (Meanwhile, I stub my toe and I'm ready to call it a day)
There are something’s technology is really good for,this would not have ever come to light for the masses to see,if it wasn’t for you tube or other platforms.I love this stuff😊
I can't understand y In the world people choose to dislike this classic video 19 time's In the first place at all cause clearly the people don't like The Three Stooges for some strange reason SMH on this situation who else agree's with me on this
I know this is late 1970s because Moe mentions he is going to the Philippines, which is where they were planning on filming a WWII-themed movie, with Emil Sitka in Larry's role after his stroke. It's a shame they never made the film!
Correct. For some reason I thought your posting said 1974. I must have been tired. A previous posting read "This wouldn't have been conducted in the late 70's as Moe died in 1975." They simply read my description incorrect.
No, this interview is not from the late 1970s; it's from late 1970. See how the 's' makes the difference? And no, it's not a shame they never made the film; it's a blessing. DeRita (age 60) and Moe (over 70) were both too old to be believable as soldiers in a P.O.W. camp. Larry's stroke in 1970 marked an appropriate end to the act. Moe mentions in this interview that audiences didn't like to see old people get hit with pies. That's true, and by this point, Moe and Curly-Joe were just too old to engage in the physical mayhem for which the Stooges were famous.
His story never changed...he had a great memory.
What a delightful and down to earth man Moe Howard was
true. the mean, bossy, aggressive character that Moe played was just that-a fictional character played by a great actor. by all accounts, the real-life Moe was one of the nicest, kindest persons ever!
He said nostalgic
The perfect working-class gentleman

@@miketapley6445 The Stooges should have gotten $10k each for each short. But they got $5k to split between them. Ripped off. But so humble about it.
Moe is the Paul McCartney of comedy simply the best !
I like how he insisted he be called Moe instead of Mr. Howard. It shows how humble and gracious he was.
Wow! 1971...I was 16...and in 2022, still a Stooges fan!
Moe Howard, what a fantastic human being. So grateful for him and the rest of the boys for sharing their gift of comedy to the world. During one of Moe's last interviews there was a comment that I'll never forget..."with a little luck, I think the 3 Stooges will live on forever" Rest in peace Moe Larry Curly Shemp Joe Curly Joe Ted Healy and Emil Sitka 💙
I beg he knows, wherever he may be, that the 3 Stooges live forever !
Christine McIntire, et al. Hey, whaddya smoking, an inner tube?
Christine McIntyre. Lovely and talented.
Well joe and Curly Joe ehh.
Laughed with Moe for many years, growing up, after school. An American treasure.
I used to watch him during school lunch hour. My grade school, during the fifties didn't have a lunch program. We had an hour to go home to eat. As we ate, we had a program called Captain Penny.

@@emmitstewart1921 Did the same thing myself between 70-73 in L.A. on Channel 52 after school. We watched the Stooges, The Little Rascals, Speed Racer, Kimba, etc.
I remember going home for lunch from school 🏫 too one hour only - Speed Racer The Monkees and the Stooges on Saturday night. A dreamy life for a 12 year old kid in 1978.
born in '63 my parents were very strict about this stuff - but they let me alone when it came to the Stooges!! They saw how *happy* they made me
Call me Moe!!! What a great person he really was
His mind is so sharp, I can't remember what I did yesterday! My favorite comedy team of all time!

Can you imagine what Three Stooges outtakes look like? Of course back in those days when everything was on film they didn't want to waste too much and did as few takes as possible.
I Definitely Love Moe's Bowl Haircut Who Else Agrees With Me On This One
meee
I do!
Me too!
I love it too.
The main problem with this it was a terrible accident and Moe did not like his long curly hair.
Listening to Moe in this and other interviews from later in his life, one would never imagine that this was a guy who dropped out of high school after just two months. He was not uneducated. Far from it. He just educated himself. It's well-known that he was fond of Horatio Alger books as a kid. He was so intelligent that he was likely just plain bored at school and didn't feel like he needed it, and his career and his life proved him right. One of the indicators of his brilliance is the fact that he could play a dim-witted stooge - a personality completely opposite of his own - and make it believable and entertaining, and he did so for decades.
Used to go by his home by boat as a kid with my dad, on Grapevine Lake in Texas. He would be sitting outside on his deck, in the sun. I was very young, but my dad told me who he was and introduced me to the Three Stooges. Still love them to this day and think about those days on the lake cruising by. He always waved back.
Moe Howard had a house on Grapevine Lake in Texas? I was not aware of that, not a lot of film work done there? Where do you Boat in Texas?
He reminds me of conversations I had with my grandfather ..always interesting and very personal, peppered with hundreds of lovely memories of events and friends and family
l was so happy for the boys when l watched a documentary and found out there was a HUGE outpouring of love and excitement among the grown up fans who brought *their* kids along when their career revived and they did live personal stage appearances. very heartwarming to know that.
Such a great part of my childhood!
Oh my I wish this was longer, more in depth would love too hear him talk about Larry and shemp and of course curly. Wish this was about 4 hours longer
Hello
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 high
there is the Mike DOuglas show interviews here on youtube
Yes absolutely. And interviews with Shemp and Curly do not exist, that I know of.. I've never seen Shemp out of character; although they say he wasn't a lot different. Always joking and laughing. Curly was very shy and quiet, and probably would not have interviewed if Moe wasn't alongside him.
@@miketapley6445 Shemp was laughing and joking the night he died. He was laughing after having told a joke when he suddenly slumped over into his friend Al Winston's lap, burning him with the cigar he had just lit. Shemp was gone at the age of 60.
Incredible interview! A treasure
What strikes me with this interview is how alert and smart this dude is in his later years…he is dropping names and details of events from 40 and 50 years ago like it was last week….a testament to staying busy and active in your 0ld age…. A true legend Who gave so much to the world of comedy and laughter to the masses.
Moe Howard knew a whole lotta stuff from way back then before he started doing his film's ain't to many people knew stuff from way back In the day's like ol Moe Howard
I grew up as a kid in the eighties and loved these guys from day one! For the life of me I could never understand why most women disliked them so much? I think they were misunderstood by many people. They brought me a lot of joy in my childhood
im 35/f i loved them since i was 12/13
AceripXF well that’s both cool and a rarity!
@@Jondsmusic yes i find slap stick very funny ive always loved moe
AceripXF yep I liked Larry
@@Jondsmusic cool :) i USED to have a TON of 3 stooges stuff but most of it got lost when i moved or went down south carolina for the summer only things i have now are some vhs dvds n the 3 stooges dolls from spunko
This is great. I love hearing Moe's phone ring, back when phones had real mechanical bells.
What an amazing interview!!
This is so precious. Thank you for posting.
I am amazed at this man's memory-sharp as a tack in his senior years, recalling names, dates, personalities, writers, directors, timelines, long defunct studio names and locations and details on movies, productions, contributors as if they had all had just recently happened to Moe, and not the 40-60+ years ago as he recounted here.
Meanwhile there are those in my own life not half that time ago, the kind of persons that at the time it's so easy to think 'I could never forget this person, no way, not ever' only to do exactly that...what was his/her/their names again, when was that anyway, must have been around..." But Moe? He had a mind like a steel trap.
Moe: Born: Moses Harry Horwitz, June 19, 1897, Brooklyn, New York, U.S. Died: May 4, 1975, Los Angeles, California, U.S.
10:55 "Broncho Billy" Anderson was the stage name of Gilbert Maxwell Aronson, America's first cowboy movie star. Anderson pioneered the genre that eventually produced stars such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers, Buck Jones, and Tom Mix. Anderson also worked behind the camera as a director and producer and developed production techniques still in use today. (Passed: January 20, 1971, South Pasadena, California 1971)
Its funny my grandfather is 90 and he's the same way.
the stooges were the greatest! Still watch them today and still laugh so hard! my wife says its a man thing and we're crazy! nyck nyck nyck!
Terrific interview. Very informative. What an amazing career they had!
Moe was the man !
You guys have given me so much joy over the years Thanks and rest in peace
I met you Richard in 1969 while you were being interviewed by Boone and Erickson at WCCO Radio. You autographed my book, What ever became of.
After listening to this, I love Moe even more.
I could never call him anything else but Moe. I love Moe’s brothers Shemp and Curley. They were good people and were very funny comedians.
i love listening to him
The Three Stooges are remembered for their slapstick, but they also did excellent parodies of popular movies of the day. Their short, "Disorder In The Court", was a direct parody of a now unknown movie called "The Drag-Net". "Men in Black" parodied medical drama, "Men in White." And the short "Punch Drunks" (featuring Curly as K O Stradavarius) was a take-off on the Warner Brothers classic, "Kid Galahad."
Kid Galahad was released in 1937, while Punch Drunks was released in 1934.
Moe era mi favorito me reí tanto con todos ellos hasta hoy en día veo sus videos y me siguen haciendo reir
I miss Moe! Keep laughing Angelica, he was a very nice man
I've read and frequently reread Mr. Lamparski's "Whatever Became Of..." books. Even as a twelve-year-old I had an insatiable appetite for old-timey entertainers whether they be silent film stars, vaudeville legends or, well, the Three Stooges. I confess I had never heard Mr. Lamparski's voice before and it's quite wonderful.
You must've been a part of it in a past life.
@@luigiprovencher 😄
Moe looked good with a gangster hat great man great comic
I grew up watching the 3 Stooges every morning before school and half the morning on Saturday. Great comedy,I miss watching them.
Man this is so emotional
Moe,curly,Larry,Shemp....... Im still laughing in 2024! Thank you😊😊
I was so happy that I found this and listen to it the mo Howard interview it was Tastefully done I learned so much thank you
The best way to see the OG Stooges in action with Healy is to look up the vaudeville sequence from the film Soup To Nuts. It's Shemp Moe and Larry, with Shemp as the boss of the trio and Larry as the underdog, doing what is essentially the same stage bits they'd done live on tour in the late 1920's.
Without Moe there wouldn't be any Three Stooges.
He was definitely the leader of that group.
A film history gem. 🤩😘😘😘a great body of work. 😍
Best Comedy Team of all time love all those guys always make me laugh
48yrs old... Watched my entire life. Curly of course was always fav. But now... Moe was an amazing comedic presence. Moe was genius and his one liners.... What a once in a life time combination of comedic talent. To this day.... Unmatched
"WAKE UP AND GO TO SLEEP" 😂
Thuis is a very important piece of Stooge history and clearly shows that Moe and the rest of the stogges had a method to their madness, real show biz professionals through and through. I still maintain that 500 years from now they will still be remembered and reruns of their shows will still be playing in Holodecks around the world.
Wonderful interview!
I remember when my older sister took me to see the 3 Stooges perform at the C.N.E. in Toronto 1962. I was 8.
Man O Man I Can't Get Enough Of Watching Him & His Slapping Eye Poking The Other Stooges But Moe's Definitely Missed After All These Years
What a grand man he was moe and the stooges class act they were 😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
One would never know by looking at the Three Stooges films but all of them were actually quite good looking in their younger days in regular clothes. I love this!
Marvelous that Moe was very generous with his time and did many interviews. Even though I have his autobiography and every Stooge book, I still hear something I never knew in these interviews.
Good Good Interview. Thanks for posting it.
God Bless Moe Howard 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Read Moe's autobiography, 'I Stooged To Conquer '. Incredible, entertaining and informative, for all Stooges fans.
They were all geniuses of comedy! They rescued me from such a traumatic childhood!
Theres no greater comedians and comedy than the 3 Stooges. The work and talent these brothers and Larry put into this is phenomenal. They were destined to be together and Larry became their brother too in a way. Im 40 yrs old and my whole life because of my dad and family we grew up watching them every Saturday. I was in awe and never laughed hard. True geniuses and icons for ever and ever
19:00 -- I'm sorry, did he say his eyes got loaded with a bunch of powdered asbestos and ketchup?! I knew he had the most on-set injuries but that's new to me. What a trooper to take all that abuse and just carry on. (Meanwhile, I stub my toe and I'm ready to call it a day)
There are something’s technology is really good for,this would not have ever come to light for the masses to see,if it wasn’t for you tube or other platforms.I love this stuff😊
......and dont forget, Christine McIntyre, Bud Jamison, and Vernon Dent.
Really appreciate this interview! Would have loved one with Curly while he was still in decent health.
I can't understand y In the world people choose to dislike this classic video 19 time's In the first place at all cause clearly the people don't like The Three Stooges for some strange reason SMH on this situation who else agree's with me on this
Me Too! I wish they were still around
moe was agreat funnyman withthe hittingthose guys he made people laugh a nd themhurt godbless
I know this is late 1970s because Moe mentions he is going to the Philippines, which is where they were planning on filming a WWII-themed movie, with Emil Sitka in Larry's role after his stroke. It's a shame they never made the film!
Then why at the very end does Moe wish the interviewer a wonderful 1971
ifilmls because it was recorded in *late* 1970 ( most likely November/December) and New Years was a few weeks away
Correct. For some reason I thought your posting said 1974. I must have been tired. A previous posting read "This wouldn't have been conducted in the late 70's as Moe died in 1975." They simply read my description incorrect.
No, this interview is not from the late 1970s; it's from late 1970. See how the 's' makes the difference? And no, it's not a shame they never made the film; it's a blessing. DeRita (age 60) and Moe (over 70) were both too old to be believable as soldiers in a P.O.W. camp. Larry's stroke in 1970 marked an appropriate end to the act. Moe mentions in this interview that audiences didn't like to see old people get hit with pies. That's true, and by this point, Moe and Curly-Joe were just too old to engage in the physical mayhem for which the Stooges were famous.
Moe Howard = icon.
Awesome! Thanks
In my teens I made sure i got home by midnight on Saturday to watch 2 hours from 12 to 2 a.m. of The Three Stooges.
Damn you coulda got alot more tail if you just had a VCR timer
A special part of my childhood.
