AFAIC, Ted Healy was the most unfunny comedian of the early days of sound film; he must have made someone laugh to have had the career he did, but I wouldn't have been one of them.

I have watched a few Stooges shows with Ted Healy, and I don't get it either. He was obnoxious, backstabbing and vicious and I didn't think he added anything worthwhile to the act.

Legacy[edit]

In the decades that followed, many comedy stars, including Milton Berle, Bob Hope, and Red Skelton, cited Healy as a “mentor”, and a significant influence on their careers.[21]
