If you enjoy watching comedy, you need to know about The Three Stooges.

Beginning nearly 100 years ago, American fans began enjoying the antics of these comedic actors.

Known for their zany slapstick comedy, the Stooges starred in black-and-white films that can still be seen in syndication on television.

Although six different actors were involved with the group at different times, Moe, Larry and Curly are the best-known members of the comedy triad (see definition and hear pronunciation below).
