Today we tip a battered top hat worn by a three sheets to the wind Ted Healy to Moe Howard, the ace of slapstick who succeeded Ted as "the head stooge" when The Three Stooges began starring in short subjects for Columbia Pictures in 1934. The gang here continues having a rough go through 2026, so a bit of "laughter is the best medicine" from Moe Howard, born on this day in 1897, and the Three Stooges, starting with the following documentary by his son Paul, provides an excellent Rx. Love this interview with Moe. Joan Howard Maurer appeared on Late Night with David Letterman in February 1983. The early 1980's incarnation of the show frequently booked guests representing the golden age of classic comedy from movies TV and radio
