Shemp was first. Back when they were with Ted Healy then he left to have his own career and then Curly came along then Shemp returned when Curly got too ill.
Carson Maitland - Smith They were meant to replace Moe, Larry and Shemp when they left Ted in the early 30s. Later on Ted manages to get Moe and Larry back but Shemp left the act and was replaced by Curly. Meanwhile the Gentelmaniacs were still doing their act in a small handful of films during the late 30s and early 40s.
At 21:05, "Give me the bird"! Oh if only Shemp Howard could know what that phrase means in 2018! LOL
Guess created two trios.
The Three Stooges, and The Gentle Maniacs
Besser refused to take a pie in the face. Moe said "2 stooges and one who isn't." Besser was the worst stooge ever.

Bob, you post good stuff! Thanks!
Larry and Moe didn’t die in 1974, they died in 1975
That's not true; Moe joined Ted Healy FIRST, in 1921 or 1922!
kdm71291-1922.
Curly was 42 when he suffered his stroke in 1946, not 43.
That was Excellent
Shemp: I was in the Abbott & Costello Franhise with Joe Besser
Me too(:
Moe and Larry passed away in 1975
But TED HEALY AND HIS GENTLE MANIACS? Where'd that come from
