Shemp or Curly?


Having already eliminated Joe Besser & "Curly" Joe Derita, who was your Favorite: Shemp or Curly? Mine is Shemp.

Shemp, originally part of the Stooges on the Vaudeville circuit, left the group to pursue a solo career in the fledgling movie industry. Jerome "Curly" Howard was then brought into the act. Shemp was considered the funniest man in Hollywood by many garnering laughs as easily as merely contorting his face. Many of Shemp's best moments with the Stooges came by keeping the camera rolling as he ad-libbed. While filming the "Bank Dick", top billed W C Fields became furious with Shemp for stealing so many scenes and thus Fields had most of Shemps parts edited or cut.
After Curly's series of strokes, Shemp rejoined the group. IMOP, Shemp's the man!
