  • This was quality tv! Plus, I have to add that "niagara falls" is one of my favorite stooge episode. Thank you for chronicling this so that the world can enjoy for years to come! I'm 42 yrs old, and am happy to report that I have created yet another generation of stooge fans! My daughters are 10 & 12 yrs old. Again, thank you a millions times over!!

  • @KrisF1970 Your so welcome A trillion times over

  • Yeah but then I remember seeing the 3 Stooges in concert twice in Canada in the mid sixties in which Moe told kids not to poke each other in the eyes like they saw in their movies as it had caused some kids to go blind as their friends poked them in the eyes way too hard. Also assumeing that kids hitting other kids over the head with chairs, boards and so on must have hurt some kids down the road. I don't know when this piece was filmed but I know what I heard

  • slowly i turned,inch by inch,i then pressed the LIKE button

  • Slowly I turned...I have heard this joke since I was about three I am now 50...STILL makes me laugh!! Ture comedy NEVER gets OLD!!! :-D

  • Moe is the KING

  • Moe even played his Three Stooges Persona as him being a old man it's like he knows he's old now so he's casually sitting by reading the newspaper and all of a sudden Niagra Falls lol.

  • Moe the best comedian ever i bet your making all the souls in heaven laugh your films are still popular they shal go on fore ever.

    Your my favorite Three Stooges number one show. You Rock Moe

  • THANKS!!!! Love you Moe! My favorite stooge but I love them all!!

  • NIIIIIAGRA FALLS!!!

  • Greatest Actor all the way to the end. He never lost it.

    Your greatly missed Moe, and fondly thought of.

  • Moe Howard seems to be very short compared to every one around him. Doe's anyone know Moe's actually height??

  • @ziggycat999 Moe was 5'4".

  • Anyone notice how short moe is xD

  • I have a grandma in Amsterdam, NY

  • It`s good to see Moe smack people around, but it`s not the same thing without Curly and Larry.

  • I find it amazing that Moe was able to still do relatively intense physical comedy at this age.

  • its great

  • Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious that "Travel Niagara Falls" is in the related videos section?

  • great stuff

  • wow he is GOOD!!!! my chest and stomach hurt from laughing at him from most of these episodes!!! i love moe!!! at his age he is amazing!!!

  • Funny thing is... I'm from a town not far from Niagara Falls... *ducks, runs away*

  • Lovely Julie Newmar.

  • If moe Howard was born a little later with the same career i would have him as a bodybuard

  • Boy every time i mention niagra falls, NIAGRA FALLS!!! slowly i turned, step by step, inch by inch, i gouged is eyes, ripped his shirt and then knocked him down..... ROFL

    R.I.P Three Stooges

  • A real pro!!!!

  • Got my picture taken with the 3 Stooges when I was about 10 years old along with my brother, sister and Mom. Still have the picture. What a great memory!

  • Great old routine and it's great that they ended with Julie Newmar. She always had a presence on stage. Simply amazing.

  • Still Funny!

  • Sad to see. Remember his as he was.

  • im a three stooges but come on this is not that funny. maybe im used to the i love lucy version then here then

  • I saw this in an interview it's prolly on here though-anyways he said he did his hair in a coomeover because it reminded him of shemp.,,,,its sad yet cute all at the same time!

  • @paddyotay ))) Ok, hopefully it'll show up sometime. I'd like to see that.

  • OMG IS THAT CATWOMAN!

  • This sketch is also done in an episode of I love lucy but just a bit different....the trigger word is "Martha"... only the best of the best make this sketch good (by the best i mean Lucy n one of the 3 stooges)

  • I remember when my grandfather used to perform this routine 20-some years ago. Vaudeville truly was incredible.

  • If I had a dime for all these comedians that went to Niagra falls I would not have to work another day.

  • hes lucky he didnt have a heart attack

  • MOE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

  • Man, Moe still had it in him! At least he died knowing that his legacy of the stooges will continue on :)

  • I wonder if they figured we'd still be watching Stooges reruns weekday mornings in 2010?

  • NIAGA FALLS! slowly i turned, step by step

    inch by inch, then I poked his eye, I pulled

    his shirt, then I knoked him.

  • CATWOMAN!! she's tall... and hot as hell

  • Julie Newmar...and boy, ar e you right :)

  • @0428733

    Try to see the musical movie L'll Abner when Catwoman Julie Newmar is "Stupifying Jones." Always hot, she is a volcao in that one!

  • @0428733

    Always has been; the mold's been broken when she was made!

  • Moe is the best.

  • wat month did curly joe died cause he died the year before i was born i was born november 4th 1994

  • Curly Joe died on July 3, 1993 at the age of 83

  • I remember Fred Gwynne, Spanky McFarland and Joe DeRita died in three successive days. It always happens like that, doesn't it?

  • @deathcauser1104 ahh we both sadly missed them.. i was born january 27th 1993

  • Moe was really high strung at that age, luckily id doctor put him on Anna-canna-panna-stan

  • is ti just me or has moe not aged a single year since the three stooges

  • Wow, Julie Newmar! I wouldn't mind ripping her dress off!

  • Geez!!! I'd have chased that hot Julie Newmar too!!!!

    Poor Moe looks like he was about to fall down several times.

  • don't anybody say niagra falls

  • NIAGRA FALLS! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch....

  • Moe was the BEST!!!!!!

  • kiDD1963: I found out from one of the commenters on this page and after watching a biography movie of them,

    he passed away in May of 1975. My God if

    I had known he was still alive I would have written letters to him (since they didn't have e-mail back then) and thanked him for all the laughter. Opportunity missed. God rest his dear soul and all the Stooges that made us laugh. They were Laughter Angels sent from God to keep us happy on this miserable planet!!

  • Yeah!We need somebody like that now.

  • Love this! Didn't Moe still was alive when

    the Mike Douglas show was running!

    Fantastic!

  • yeah, Moe died in May of '77

  • '75

  • yayyy

  • I think Moe was in his 70s when he did this show. I think this was his last TV appearence.

  • 74 years old

  • Moe's kung-fu was STRONG.

  • F'n hilarious!

  • NIAGRA FALLS!

  • It's so funny he mentions Amsterdam NY.

  • how old is he

  • Julie Newmar! Yowza!

    Too bad Moe was forever typecast. He could have done a lot more, I think - not that being a famous stooge is a bad thing in my book.

  • It's Cat Women !

  • click this 2:00 hehehehe jejejeje

  • Thanks for the memories. My grandfather knew the original stooges when they visited the LASCO Co. in Los Angeles, Ca. They were the nicest honest men around.

  • moe was the last living three stooges

  • Was this Moe's final public appearence?

  • wow, when wuz this?

  • Thanks for sharing this wonderful and rare footage with us! What a sweet guy ol' Moe was!

  • FABULOUS!

  • I love Moe, but I didn't find this skit funny in the slightest.

  • It was better in the 30's. I think that's when the skit first started.

  • It's sad that Moe and Mike are no longer with us. Both gave the world so many things to remember.

  • Are any of the other original three stooges still alive, or are they all dead now?

  • No. The three originals passed away several years ago. Shemp, Emil Sitka, Joe Besser, and Curly Joe DeRita are also gone.

  • several years ago?? ya cuz 1973 was several years ago right

  • Curly died in 1952, Larry and Moe both died in 1975. Shemp died in 1955, Emil died in 1998, Joe Besser died in 1988, and Curly Joe died in 1993. So, in the case, of the originals they all died over 30 years ago.

  • Who's Emil Sitka?

  • He was an un-official Stooge. Moe wanted him to be a part of the new Three Stooges with him and Curly Joe DeRita. Sadly, Moe died before they could tour with the act.

    He was also the guy who said, "Hold hands, you lovebirds" in the Stooges short "Brideless Groom."

  • Oh the one who was in all of their films yikes I did not know that.

  • Yeah, he was a great guy.

  • I can now picture him doing stuff with moe and curly joe yikes again in a good way.

  • It's great, isn't it?

  • Yeah it is but at the same time it's shocking becaues I never knew that til now thanks.

  • Julie Newmar!

  • Oh, i see. hehe.

    Thanks for puttin up with my many questions. :D

  • I watched all the episodes that are on here. So, they put brown make up on him why?

  • the makeup is for this sketch, he wants to look like a bum with a beard, thats all

  • Ive been watching all the parts to this and in 2 already moe has a clear white skin, but in the others and this one...his skin around his eyes are white but the rest of his skin was brown. Is that sun burn or something that happins whenu get lung cancer??

  • Its just makeup from a earlier episode,check them ALL out!!

  • lol

  • Throw that famous "Pie In The Face". Moe Howard of "The 3 Stooges" . Columbia Pictures "Three Blind Mice".

  • I did this skit in a talent show a few years back!

  • Moe's joints are clearly going stiff here, and I'm not sure him losing his balance was intentional.

    That just shows you how resilient Moe was, though: Through broken ribs, two dead brothers, a ripped up contract with Columbia, and old age, Moe was a funnyman to the very end. Death was the only thing that could stop him.

  • death still didnt kill his comedy......always a stooge

  • I agree with Bid! The Stooges will always be funnier than anything no matter how many years pass!!!!

  • Wow, Julie Newmar...what a sweetie!!

  • Andy Samberg can't open his mouth without staring at cue cards. Moe does this by memory. Tom Bosley does this bit on the original Bill Cosby Show (the Chet Kincaid one)

  • that was roger miller at the end,wasn't it?

  • Abbott & Costello also did the Niagra Falls Skit as well.

  • he still had it!!!!!!!!

  • I agree, Moe was a stooge to the end. There will never be any comedy act as good as theirs. I was a young teen when they tried to bring them back in cartoons. But that didn't catch on. And nobody they tried could replace Curly.

  • right about Curly--just could never replace him!

  • Is that Julie "Cat Woman" Newmar at the end?

  • Yes it is. She was a doll. Lee Meriwether (the other Catwoman) said that no one wore that cat suit like Julie.

  • Moe was getting old for this When was it shot ? It is a very good sketch.

  • This, I believe, was 1973, which would make Moe 75 or so. Moe died in '75. He was a performer to the very end.

  • moe an entertainer right to the end..

  • HILARIOUS! Even in his old age, Moe was an absolute comic genius. Thanks for providing!

  • is this the original niagra falls bit? or was he quoting a movie? i heard it on ron an fez (xm202 noon to three)

  • its the original.

  • This is a variation of the original. The original I remembered had "the chase" going to Miami, New Orleans, and Dallas. Also, the original had no "triple team on the bride".

  • NIAGRA FALLS!! slowly i turned, step by step, inch by inch, i gouged his eyes then i ripped his shirt off then i socked em right in the kisser

  • A comedy classic that will live forever.

  • Bogart, Gable, Grant etc.........were Hollywood legends, but comparing comedic skills between the Stooges and the Marx Brothers??? Stooges win hands down. "74" years later, after their first short, they are still being watched faithfully by a countless number of people throughout the world.

  • What is that brown discoloration on Moe's face? Was it a bad make-up job?

  • I think that's stretching it a bit. Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and "The Duke" were, are and always will be legends whose acting and reputations far outweigh the low-brow talents of the Stooges Three. In fact, The Marx Brothers were a far more clever and inventive trio insofar as comedic skills are concerned.

    Don't get me wrong--I like the Stooges--but not so much that I can't keep things in perspective.

  • "Which way to the hospital." XD I love that part!

  • who is that woman at the end of the video clip? wats her name..

    LOVE U MOE!

  • Thats julie Newmar, she also was one of the catwoman's in the batman tv series

  • Her real name is Julie Newmeyer, and she has spent most of her life taking care of a disabled son.

    Previous to her appearances as TV's original "Catwoman" on the "Batman" series, the lanky and health-conscious Newmar had been a chorus girl in such films as "Lil' Abner" and "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers," also had a co-starring role in the series "My Living Doll" with Bob Cummings, playing a sexy robot named "Rhoda."

  • Black actress/singer Eartha Kitt replaced Newmar for a few episodes on "Batman," and actress/1955 Miss America Lee Meriwether played "Catwoman" in the feature film based on the series, because Newmar was making another film at the time. But Newmar returned to the series as "Catwoman" for at least a final appearance, even after Eartha Kitt had played the role.

  • Newmar also appeared in guest roles on numerous TV dramas and sitcoms throughout the 1960's and '70's, including "Bewitched," "Get Smart," "The Monkees" and "The Twilight Zone," but will be most remembered for her role as the sexy, felonious feline counterpart to Adam West's "Batman."

  • r.i.p. moe & mike.

  • Too bad we can't see the part in the interview when Mike Douglas asks Moe how long he thinks the Stooges will be remembered and Moe says, "Forever might be asking a bit much but with a little luck we may just make it."

  • OMG!

  • he talked ok, but he looked terrible.

  • I know. And it seemed like it was all he could do to keep his balance during the sketch. He still had the goods to make you laugh, but you could see he was near the end.

  • Moe Howard was a classic funny man . He was one of a kind .he was the leader of the greatest comdy teams ever . The Three Stooges . Moe maybe gone but he will allways live forever . Moe Howard (June 19, 1897 -- May 4, 1975)

  • aguante moe,larry,curly,shemp,joe :) son buenisimo me han encantando me hecho reir ellos no han muerto estanm vivo y hace siempre carcajadas jajaja

  • I'm a 34 year old man and I'm not ashamed to say this. If I was able to do that skit with Moe at that moment on that show, I probably would have balled like a baby afterwards. That would have been the biggest honor of my life to have performed one of the most famous comedy skits of all time with a legend like Moe Howard, or any of the other Stooges. There will never be another Three Stooges. RIP my friends...

  • Oh, I don't think you would be the only man in America who act like that. It would be an honor to perform with one of the Stooges.

  • Good Ole Moe, "He's still got it." The way he and LarryFine can remember all those old stories and names after so many, many long years. Guess they didn't have alzheimers back then. May all the Stooges Rest in Peace, their antics will carry on and on. They could never have imagined in the next millenium that kids would still be immitating "The Curly Shuffle". My 10 year old grandson does a decent one!!!!

  • i love that he mentions albany, gloversville, and amsterdam (ny) in this skit, thats my backyard!

  • Looks like Moe needs a shave

  • Fozzymsple he is ment to be a bum, now you made the kids cry.

  • I don't know if Moe was purposely falling over or if that was his condition...made me wanna stop watching it halfway through cuz I didn't wanna see one of my idols fall flat on his face haha...

  • No. He wasn't falling over... that's the part where he normally yells "BLOOD! BLOOD! Pools and rivers of BLOOD!" You can tell the way he hikes up his pants (watch the original from "Gents without cents." He just left that bit of dialogue out this time.

  • The woman is Julie Newmar, Catwoman from the Batman TV series.

  • Moe Howard, Michael Douglas and Roger MIller! This is great!

  • I haven't seen that skit in ages! I don't remember the Julie Newmar appearance, but I will from now on! Wow!

  • NIAGRIA FALLS!!!!

  • What a riot! Moe sure was little.

  • I've been watching the Stooges for over 50 years, and I never get tired of them. I regret that for a time I only lived a few miles from Moe & Larry when they were in the Woodland Hills retirement home, and never tried to see them or simply send them a card...

  • just as funny now as when he did it on GENTS WITHOUT CENTS funnier to be seeing a 70 year old doing it though lol

  • God bless the stooges.Moe,larry,curly,shemp,­joe and curly- joe

  • Wow! Great Stuff!

    A lot of fun to see and hear Moe in the 1970s.

    Glad that he hung around long enough to make these appearances.

  • Incredible

    My God... can somebody do it like them? Can it be another Moe? Another Curly? Another Shemp? Another Joe? Another Curly Joe? Lord no... just look at him... time didn't pass on him... he was a pro, the best. Thank God for The Three Stooges.

  • They`re making a Three Stooges movie do you think it`ll be worth checking out?

  • classic

  • the original version is always better. live on three stooges

  • The routine was around before the Three Stooges. But don't get me wrong; the Three Stooges rule.

  • both versions were good in my view
