Curly. His name alone brings smiles and laughter to every corner of the globe. He is instantly recognized as one of the funniest men to ever appear on stage and screen. October 22, 2003, marks the 100th birthday for perhaps the most beloved and famous Stooge of them all – Curly. An icon. Simply one of the greatest. But even Curly himself would be astonished to learn that more than a hundred years later, The Three Stooges comedy still lives on, as vibrant and alive as ever, and filling millions of people all over the world with laughter and joy.

Celebrating 75 years of The Three Stooges comedy, last April we aired The Three Stooges 75th Year Anniversary Television Special on NBC. The one-hour primetime Special was hosted by Woody Harrelson and featured many of the greatest Three Stooges clips, plus celebrity cameos from Michael Chiklis, Bridget Fonda, Cheryl Hines, Tracy Morgan, Tom Arnold and Peter and Bobby Farrelly. The Special drew an audience of nearly 9 million people in the United States, and also aired all over the World.

The Three Stooges popularity seems to only increase as new generations of fans are introduced to the unique slapstick comedy originated by Larry, Moe and Curly. This year we will unveil the new Three Stooges themed race cars which will run in NASCAR and be driven by world class race car drivers Jimmy Spencer, Michael Waltrip and Darrell Waltrip. John Force will run The Three Stooges Funny Car in the NHRA.

Also exciting, we will soon begin production of the first new theatrical Three Stooges motion picture in over forty years. C3 is thrilled to team up with Warner Brothers Studios and the famous comedy writing/directing team the Farrelly Brothers, who are well known for their physical comedies in such great films as There’s Something About Mary and Me, Myself and Irene. Casting the roles of Larry, Moe and Curly is underway with an eye toward locating the ideal trio with the best chemistry, timing and agility to compliment The Three Stooges. Warner Bros. Pictures is planning a major release for the movie in the summer of 2005.
