Meeting Ted Healy
The “Three Stooges” gimmick came years later. Luckily, Moe met one essential person that helped him get the ball rolling, the one and only Ted Healy. A few years after they met, they landed a role together in Annette Kellerman’s aquatic act as diving girls. Once they met, the two immediately became good friends. But they didn’t become the iconic group until years later.

The dynamic duo joined forces once again in 1922 and formed The Three Stooges with Moe’s brother, Shemp. The act made these guys iconic, and their name and black and white photos have become a staple in American culture and entertainment.
