Description: Photo of the comedy team The Three Stooges. From left-Joe DeRita (Curly Joe), Moe Howard (Moe), and Larry Fine (Larry). This photo was taken as the Stooges made ready for a second appearance on Steve Allen's talk program (later became the Tonight Show). The Stooges became popular with children beginning in circa 1958-1959, when Columbia Pictures released many of their old short films as packages for television. In 1957, the team was let go by Columbia and suddenly became in demand after the films started airing as children's programming. Howard and Fine had to hire Joe DeRita as Curly Joe; Joe Besser, who had worked with them until the layoff at Columbia. was no longer able to be a part of the trio.
