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.

Damn.
Now who will be the next king of the Stooges?
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.
National treasures.
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.
Claw hammer up the nose, and twisted.
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.
With the woketards in charge, the Stooges will be banned for depictions of bullying.
And they were Joooooooos.
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.
Grandad Moe, son Paul, & granddaughter, Jen
Joe DeRita played a gunslinging outlaw in the Gregory Peck western, The Bravados. Quite a stretch from his usual gig.

"Woo woo woo"
Say ... I got an uncle in Cairo ... he's a chiro-practor ... nyuk nyuk nyuk ... oww!
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.
Rebecca: What about the Three Stooges?
Sam: Oh, yeah, great. I like the Three Stooges. That helps a lot.
Rebecca: Wait a minute, Sam. Think about this. Do women like the Three Stooges?
Sam: No, they hate them.
Rebecca: All right. Are women impressed that you like the Three Stooges?
Sam: No, some of them even think they’re stupid.
Rebecca: When you’re watching the Three Stooges, do you think they’re sexy?
Sam: No, when you watch the Three Stooges, nobody has time to think about sex or women. Hey, wait a minute. That means I do have another interest in my life. I like the Stooges for themselves. Hey, whoa, I’m okay. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
