Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How often did Curly have to clip his hair to make sure he always looked the part of a Stooge?

Answer: Once every week

Curly originally had long wavy hair but had to shave it once every week to become a member of the Stooges.

2. What height was Larry Fine?

Answer: 5 ft 4 in

In the words of his brother "Larry never got to be more than five feet four inches tall. He wore elevator shoes."

3. In which of these shorts did Curly utter "I'm a victim of soicumstance!", "That's a coincidence!", and "Oh! A Backbiter!" in the same scene?

Answer: Pop Goes the Easel

Released in 1935. "Pop Goes the Easel" was The Three Stooges seventh short for Columbia and the third of seven shorts that they made in that year.
Curly also said those words in "Calling All Curs".

4. Who can be considered the "original" stooge since he first worked with Ted Healy before others joined the act?

Answer: Shemp

Shemp and Ted Healy formed a team similar to Abbott and Costello in which Ted was the "straight man" and Shemp was the "comic." Moe and Larry later joined to become "Ted Healy and his Stooges."

5. What was the name of the TV pilot that was the last Stooge project and was never officially released?

Answer: Kook's Tour

"Kook's Tour" was going to be a weekly series following the "retired" Stooge's cross country adventures. During filming of the pilot Larry suffered a stroke and when he was unable to resume filming, doubles were used to complete it. The Stooges decided to retire shortly afterwards and it was never released.

6. The last stooge short that Curly appeared in was "Half-Wits Holiday."

Answer: False

The last Stooge short that Curly appeared in was "Hold That Lion" in 1947 and featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp. He had a cameo playing a passenger on the train and sported a full head of hair.
That same scene was also used in "Booty and The Beast" (1952).

7. Who did Moe test as a new third stooge after Larry suffered his stroke and couldn't continue?

Answer: Emil Sitka

Emil Sitka was a co-star of many stooge films including "The Three Stooges in Orbit." Sitka, Moe and Curly Joe rehearsed some routines in 1975 and were going to film a cameo in a movie titled "Blazing Mattresses" until Moe became ill and they couldn't continue.

8. Finish this Stooge short title: "Healthy, Wealthy and _______"

Answer: Dumb

Released in 1938. "Healthy, Wealthy and Dumb" was the thirty second Stooge short and the fifth in that year.

9. Joe Besser had a clause written into his contract forbidding Moe and Larry from performing unnecessary acts of violence on him.

Answer: True

Many fans have complained that the Joe Besser shorts are not as funny as earlier ones and more like sitcoms. This was because of his contract in which he could decide whether Moe or Larry could hit him or not in a short.

10. What is the real name of Curly Joe DeRita?

Answer: Joe Wardell

He took his stage name from his mother's vaudevillian act called "The DeRita Sisters."
