Paul Howard, son of Moe of the Three Stooges has died
The Three Stooges + ^ | 6/11/26

Posted on 11/07/2026 11:10:17 AM PST by Eleutheria5

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Paul Howard, son of Moe and Helen Howard, at the age of 91. Over the years, Paul remained a guardian of his father’s legacy, offering fans a firsthand view of the man behind the slapstick legend. Paul connected directly with the fans of The Three Stooges at various conventions over the years, sharing stories of his father and The Three Stooges. In 2015, he directed and hosted the 9-part docuseries Hey Moe, Hey Dad!, creating an intimate tribute to the legacy of The Three Stooges, featuring interviews with the heirs of the Stooges and well-known fans. Paul is survived by his wife and his daughter, Jennifer.

Paul’s daughter Jennifer? His wife? No matter the gender. They’ll have to get a bowl cut and start smacking the descendants of the other stooges.

They will still be watching the Stooges a hundred years from now.

What did he die from?

Getting poked in the eye or getting bopped on the head?

“They will still be watching the Stooges a hundred years from now.”

With the woketards in charge, the Stooges will be banned for depictions of bullying.

Best I could do on short notice.

The woman at left is Jen Howard, Moe's grand-daughter.

To her right is Paul Howard, Moe's (late) son.

The other two are Stoogeistas.

There’ll be underground viewings. Twilight Zone for Radio predicted the banning of humor.

To the right of Paul is a dead ringer for Curly.

Curly Joe was Italian, I think, and acted gay.

He doesn’t count. The Stooges are only The Horwitz Brothers, and Louis Feinberg.

Joe was the one who acted gay (but he wasn’t in real life), that was Joe Besser.

Joe DeRita was Curly Joe.

Joe DeRita played a gunslinging outlaw in the Gregory Peck western, The Bravados. Quite a stretch from his usual gig.

Back in the day I once went to a Stooges festival at the Varsity in Palo Alto.

There was only a small handful of girls there, like two or three.
