The Lost Stooge Tapes--Moe Howard Part One

[MrSchultzstaffel]

You constantly have to strain to here these interviews. Volume up or not.

[PapagenoJuan2]

I did my research and this was one of Moes last interview :(

[dodadue89]

@PapagenoJuan2 Yeah, it's said the Stooges didn't live longer. We need people like that. His very last interview is on Youtube. It's the NBC nightly news segment and it aired after he died.

[NCHarleyHardtail]

Was this when Tom was at WHEB in Portsmouth,NH?

[dodadue89]

@NCHarleyHardtail It is entirely possible, but I'm not that familiar with his bio. I think he was around 16 when he did these, so maybe as an intern or something. I kinda got the impression he fibbed about actually being involved with a news organization and just did these out of personal interest.

[fjccommish]

Terrific. Thanks for posting it.

[TransUnicorn]

Joe Besser was a prince.

[NAMTRIP]

Dam,Moe was a genius.He was a lot more intelligent than people gave him credit for,every one thought he was just a funny man,but he was a very sharp

person.

[SheriffTankStoner]

When Moe talked about the injury that Larry suffered during the filming of 'Heavenly Daze', he forgot to mention that when the camera stopped rolling he was so pissed off at Jules White that he chased him all over the studio.

[winifredatwell]

A lovable and decent man, as well as a giant of screen comedy. No-one has ever been in a trio that made the world laugh so much. Their genius is that if anyone else sought to replicate them, it would be neither appealing nor funny. They met the definition of artists - ones who can do incomparable things that delight others.

[Acemarksman20]

Love to have been at Salem to here Moe..

[BobWXXI]

Had to be on WBZ in Boston in the early 70s.

[Bella]

gosh never had seen a pic of him like this thanks

[TARARADER]

this was a great series on the Howard stations

[SusieD2459]

Check out my story in yesteday's Jewish Daily Forward that casts a kind and respectful light on Moe:

[hadoenough]

Inexplicable as it is I've been a fan of the stooges for over 45 years. Part of their appeal is their great timing, a critical element in all genres of comedy.

[apria0303]

I would of LOVED to have been on set with them!

[cbappa2]

@apria0303 im so drunk

[clinch44]

@cbappa2 me too isn't it great

[theallseeingmaster]

Great interview. Moe always struck me as a really smart well read and well spoken man.

[kakitembak23]

Curly passed away at 1952

Shemp passed away at 1955

Larry got a stroke

[RupertDCD27]

Wikipedia states Curly Howard gave interviews. If anyone can find them would you please post them to share them with us all? All us Stooge fans that is?

[dodadue89]

@RupertDCD27 I've done a lot of research and searching, and I've never come across any Curly interview footage, however there are some text interviews out there, though not much.

[RupertDCD27]

@dodadue89

Aww, that's too bad I'd love to hear what he thought of things.

[fadyadelnageeb]

@RupertDCD27 u can see these interview were in the 70's Curly died in 52

[dommovieguy]

@RupertDCD27  CURLY HAD INTERVIEWS?

[cbc51]

@RupertDCD27 I'd like to see/hear some Curly interviews as well.

[PoserExposer]

@RupertDCD27 Curly passed away long before these interviews took place in 1952,a few years before the guy who did the interviews was born,but thankfully he recorded his interviews and Moe told it like it was.

[jeremylr68]

Bergeron was only 16, I stand corrected. Moe really knew his Stooge history.

[jeremylr68]

Thanks for posting this excellent interview. I missed the Howard Stern broadcast. Larry had his stroke on January 8th, 1970. At 3:45, Moe says it's been a year & a half since Larry's stroke, so this would have been taped in summer 1971. Amazing that Tom Bergeron was only 17 when he conducted this interview.

[threestoogesfan2]

I love this interview. Moe was the best. I like the picture too.

That Moe Is A Bad Mother (Shut Your Mouth) I Was Takin' About Moe Parody Of Shaft

[thesethingz]

WOW! I heard about these tapes on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. I was hoping to find them. Thanks for sharing!!

[beeteep60]

where can you get a copy fo the Moe & Larry interviews?

[dodadue89]

This is all there is. Moe is in three parts and Larry has one. These are the only recordings Bergeron made that are available.

[dommovieguy]

@beeteep60 THREE STOOGES 75TH DVD OR DOME OTHER ONES LOOK ON AMAZON.COM

[glaflamme]

Tom Bergeron did this interview with Moe when he was 16 years old! He brought the tapes to the Stern show per Howard's request.

[KakashiBallZ]

16 years old? He had a voice of a 40 year old!

[dawoool]

Moe was cool!

[OreoMan951]

@dawoool was? you mean is.

[dawoool]

@OreoMan951 Yes, you're right. I stand corrected. :-)

[OreoMan951]

@dawoool just kidding. but still. he is.

[bradleyc79]

great

[twistingthenightaway]

this doesn't sound like tom bergeron at all

if anything it sounds like Tom Berenger

[dodadue89]

That's fair. Keep in mind he was probably going through puberty and this tape was in really bad condition. Larry's was literally falling apart as they made the digital transfer.

[143AC]

Curly was not appearing in"Heavenly Daze"..it was Shemp..

who played the angel..preventing Moe And Larry from selling that phoney invention to "The DePeysters".

[143AC]

The scene..Where Poor Larry gets a real sharp tippped fountain pen stuck in his forehead and he bleeds? That happened during the filming of"Heavenly Daze!".

[HerbWalker]

Love these guys since the early 60s!  Thank you.

[Featureman]

When I worked as an extra and small time actor, I noticed many times the rehearsals and accidents that happened were always so much funnier than the finished product. Hooray for Moe.

[bergerfry]

@Featureman You were there? I ask because I am in awe if you were there when they recorded the 3 stooges. Oh the memories that you must have if this is true.

[Featureman]

Thanks. I was not there when the Three Stooges were working. My work as an extra in Hollywood was 1980 until 2005. I worked in the 1970s in Las Vegas. I knew a man named Arthur Tovey who worked with The Stooges. He said the director was mostly ignored and they just did what they thought would work best. Arthur was a stand in on Gone With The Wind. The stages the old timers worked on are still there for the most part. Paramount and Universal and Burbank Studios (Warner Bros and Columbia).

[foch41]

@Featureman

what were you in, and what stories can u share?

[Featureman]

@foch41 I have my bio at myhollywoodstar which is a dot com site. I also have some videos here about the Screen Extras Guild (SEG) in which I have some photos of my days in Hollywood, mostly in the 1980s. Thanks.
