The Three Stooges initially consisted of brothers Moe and Shemp Howard, as well as third member Larry Fine. Shemp left to start a solo career, and his and Moe’s other brother, who was named Curly Howard, replaced him. Curly suffered a debilitating stroke in the mid-1940s, resulting in Shemp coming back until his death from a heart attack in 1955. The following year, a comedic performer by the name of Joe Besser became Shemp’s second replacement.

Shortly after Joe became the new third Stooge, Columbia Pictures pulled the plug on the Stooges’ short films. They continued performing on stage until Joe quit, necessitating another new third Stooge. This is when Curly Joe DeRita appeared.
