The team consisted originally of Moe, Larry, and Shemp. Curley (or Curly as he later became known) joined after Shemp left the first time. Shemp was recruited to rejoin the team after Curley's stroke. When Shemp passed away unexpectedly, Joe Besser was enlisted to finish their contract with Columbia Studios. Joe parted ways with the boys and Joe (Curly Joe) DeRita became the final official Stooge member.
