seems like an inside joke
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

Wasn't there a Curly, Joe, and Curly Joe? I'm sure Paco can explain it.

If it's "just Joe", it's the first one (Joe Besser). Joe de Rita is always known as "Curly Joe".

You got it. I saw them live on the Ed Sullivan show. Spent a fair amount of time in the city back then.

I have only recently begun watching the three stooges. I knew of them, but never saw episodes (which are very short btw). But recently they are on Sunday mornings here in Vegas, and have become part of my Sunday morning ritual, if I think of it in time.
I think of the third character, most people favorite seems to be Curly. I think Shemp is mine, just because Shemp seems to be in most of the haunted house type episodes that are my favorite.
I think the first time I became aware of the three stooges was when I lived in Philadelphia in the 2000's. Larry Fine grew up on south street or near south street in Philly and there are murals and tributes to him as the locals seem to be very proud of that fact.

The episodes were short. In fact that's exactly what they were called, short subjects or just shorts. It was very common back in the 50s or 60s to go to the movie theater and be treated to one or two of these shorts before the feature film.
I've always been a fan but I didn't know that Larry was from Philly. I know the brothers grew up in Bensonhurst. The same actors were used in most of the shorts but once in a while someone familiar appears such as Lucille Ball. She was in the one where the guys were football players. The first time I saw it I didn't recognize her until I heard her voice. Of course, there was no digital cable back then.

The Stooges were always getting injured while
filming. Nothing major, just cuts and sprains and
bruises. I'm sure they hated doing what they
did for a living, they were hardly young men.

I purchased a signed (naturally) Moe Howard check written out to the Post Office a few years ago as I loved these guys growing up. I will post a picture later.

I grew up watching reruns of The Three Stooges on NYC TV.
Heck, I still watch em on youtube.
There's nothing like their brand of physical comedy anymore.
The Three Stooges, Camus, and Mad Magazine shaped my world view and put me on my career path.

Remember the early Mad magazines. Where the cover was like that of a composition note book. So Sister Mary Francis would not confiscate it and use that wooden ruler on your knuckles ?

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it

Three or four short Jewish guys born in
the late 1800's and very early 1900's.
Moses Horwitz, Sam Horwitz, Jerome
Horwitz, and Lou Feinberg. Moe, Shemp,
Curley, and Larry. Curly was the most
talented and half the stuff he does on
screen was improvised by him. They just
let him run amok and he never let them
down.
