You're forgetting Whoopi's fine work as the center square on Hollywood Squares -- truly a masterpiece of comedy and drama

I was waiting to see a clip of that famous black comedian actor Dudley Dickerson who was in so many classic Three Stooges shorts of the 1940's.. He transcended the racial sterotype common to the day by demontrating a sense of comic timing. His instinct for allowing tension to hang just so long before relieving it with a trademark double take stamps him as an immortal in the slapstick genre.. (Also..Dudey Dickerson's classic battle in the kitchen in the Stooge short 'A Plumbing We will Go' is a classic)

Oh yeah! That's my favorite Stooges short of all time! I've liked that since I was little kid. :-D

I believe that is the first time I have ever seen a serious analysis of anything to do with The Three Stooges.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
