Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is now streaming with Jordan my dad, Moe Howard
of the legendary Three Stooges.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
What fans of slapstick and lovers of comedy shorts? I
found the best documentary series about the Three Stooges anyone
can ask for. It's called Hey Mo, Hey Dad, produced
back in twenty fifteen and narrated by Mo Howard's son Paul.
The Three Stooges were active in comedy and show business
from nineteen twenty two until probably nineteen seventy, cutting one

(00:27):
hundred and ninety short subject films for Columbia Pictures. The
trio began with Mo Howard and his brother Jerome, known
affectionately as Curley, and of course the third leg named
Larry Fine, who was a part of the group from
beginning to end. Were introduced to Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, Curley,
Joe Durrita with some great clips, but it's really a
personal story with a great deal of pathos, particularly concerning Curley,

(00:47):
who suffered a series of strokes over several years. A
terrific chapter in the history of comedy.
