how many of the three stooges were brothers
The Three Stooges The act began in the early 1920s as part of a vaudeville comedy act billed as "Ted Healy and His Stooges", consisting originally of Healy and Moe Howard. Over time, they were joined by Moe's brother Shemp Howard, and then Larry Fine. The four appeared in one feature film, Soup to Nuts, before Shemp left to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by his younger brother, Jerome "Curly" Howard, in 1932. Two years later, after appearing in several movies, the trio left Healy and signed on to appear in their own short-subject comedies for Columbia Pictures, now billed as "The Three Stooges". From 1934 to 1946, Moe, Larry and Curly produced over 90 short films for Columbia. It was during this period that the three were at their peak popularity.
Chuckle Brothers The Chuckle Brothers won the television talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1967, followed by success on New Faces in 1974.[4] In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the two brothers began their television careers as a double act, making their debut in April 1979 on the BBC comedy series Lennie and Jerry, hosted by Lennie Bennett and Jerry Stevens.[5] They made two appearances on the game show 3-2-1, hosted by Ted Rogers, in January 1980 and April 1982,[6][7] and appeared on the long-running BBC programme, The Good Old Days, in June 1980.[8] In August 1983, the Brothers appeared on The Freddie Starr Showcase alongside the comedian Freddie Starr.[9]
