Shemp was my favorite!

Shemp was before Curly.

Yeah. He was too old for the role at that time, so they looked for some someone younger.

Fun Fact: Chris Diamantopoulos voices Mickey Mouse

If only they'd made a Three Stooges movie in the 90's, they could've got Mel Gibson as Moe, Billy West (voice of Stimpy) as Larry, and John Candy as Curly.

@@Sam-lm8gi Don’t temp me with another John Candy movie

Easy fella, he was just saying in the Curly shorts, Moe and Curly were brothers IRL, but not Larry. He knows full well that Shemp was also a brother. Mel produced the Three Stooges TV movie, and wrote the introduction to the Three Stooges companion book as well.

Yeah, Shemp was Funny!

@@Sam-lm8gi Ok, Samwise, granted. Shemp, I feel, doesn't always get his due when Curly's name comes up. Certainly Curly was very talented (and by the way, Shemp was the original stooge, replaced by Curly. When Curly came on the scene, Larry supposedly asked Moe if Curly had any talent. "None that I know of," was Moe's response). Even Curly's own brother didn't know him! But I admire and like the fact that Shemp's brilliant talent routines were quite a bit different than Curly's but no less funny in my opinion. You probably knew that Shemp was really into boxing, and when you look at some of his shorts, Shemp would sometimes go into this complex series of feigning, dodging, and footwork like a boxer. Terrific stuff. Shemp was also the guy who came up with the legendary stooge eye poke. I felt that with Shemp's death in 1955 the Stooges were finished. The followups with Joe de Rita and Joe Bessemer were mediocre to say the least.
