Featuring Miscellaneous Appearances
C3 / Sony Pictures Television
44 min. (TV Special)

Woody Harrelson hosts this NBC-TV tribute to the film legacy of The Three Stooges, featuring brief clips taken from more than half of the comedy team's Columbia short subjects and their feature films. Filmed at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre. Celebrity guests include Michael Chiklis, who played 'Curly' in the 2000 TV movie, the Farrelly brothers, Bridget Fonda, Tom Arnold, Tracy Morgan and Cheryl Hines.

Clips from other than the Columbia shorts include 1929 newsreel footage of Moe and Shemp at Coney Island, SOUP TO NUTS (1930), NERTSERY RHYMES (1933), PLANE NUTS (1933), JERKS OF ALL TRADES (1949), THE FRANK SINATRA SHOW (1952), THE EDDIE CANTOR COMEDY THEATRE (1955), THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW (1959), ON THE GO (1960), THE NEW 3 STOOGES (1965), DANNY THOMAS MEETS THE COMICS (1965) and the 1983 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Originally scheduled to air on February 18, it even had a featured write-up in the Feb. 15 issue of TV Guide. Rescheduled for April 1, it was postponed again and finally aired on April 29.

Based on a presumed April 1 airdate, April 5's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ran a sketch spoofing the special and its host Woody Harrelson, with host Bernie Mac as 4th Stooge 'Rib-Eye Wilkins.'
