Quiz Whizz - Moe Howard is on the phone worried about Joe Besser, while Joe's making a sandwichQuiz Whizz - Emil Sitka as the IRS agent who's come to collect from the Three StoogesJoe Besser is doubtless the least popular “Third Stooge” with some of his Three Stooges short films being better than others.  Quiz Whiz is one of those.  The basic story is that Joe has won $15,000 on a quiz program.  All of the questions were about food, Joe’s favorite subject.  However, Joe hasn’t been seen since, and Moe and Larry are fearing the worst.  While Moe is on the phone to the police, describing Joe, Joe walks in and begins making a Dagwood-style sandwich, with Moe looking at Joe as he describes him, with lines such as “Hair color?

Introduction to the Three Stooges

History of the Three Stooges

The Three Stooges are a trio of the greatest slapstick movie clowns of the 20th century. Curiously, they are a trio composed of six people — the initial Three Stooges trio in the movies were Moe, Larry and Curly, later Moe, Larry and Shemp, followed by Moe, Larry and Joe, and finally Moe, Larry and Curly Joe. The Three Stooges became famous for their work in movies, primarily in short features that showcased their slapstick comedy, as well as in feature films in their later years.
