On
this day in 1975, Moe Howard, the driving force behind The Three Stooges, died.
He was 77. As the ringleader of history’s most famous three-man comedy team, Moe
was a popular comedic actor for over a quarter of a century until his fortunes
began to change in the late 1950’s. The Stooges had no movie contract, their
physical style of humor was considered passe’, and brothers Curly and Shemp
Howard were both dead. Moe, one of cinema’s greatest slapstick comedians, was
being slapped around in real life. But he didn’t quit. Instead, Moe kept the act
alive by performing in tiny nightclubs until persistence finally paid off. In
1958 Three Stooges reruns began playing on television, and a new generation of
fans discovered the group. Almost overnight, the boys were more popular than
ever, thus proving that perseverance pays, even for a stooge. And now, for our
featured entertainment…
