ON THE GO

Air Date/Released Friday, April 15, 1960
Station/Studio CBS
Host/Star Jack Linkletter
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly Joe

Half-hour, morning series featuring interviews, human-interest stories and variety from the Los Angeles area, hosted by Jack Linkletter.

From Plummer Park in Hollywood CA (taped March 25, 1960), Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Joe DeRita are interviewed while attending a picnic with their families. In addition to the Stooges, Jack Linkletter talks to the family members. Topics discussed include real-life personalities, the origin of the haircuts, pre-Stooges entertainment careers, the effect of television on their popularity, and injuries suffered as a result of their screen antics. Moe discusses the recent elimination of violence from the act, particularly in regard to production of an upcoming live-action/animated, television series. Although the title is not mentioned, Moe refers to THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK, the boys' unsold color, television pilot produced in 1960. Following the Stooges, a brief segment on a therapist for exceptional children is shown.


Segments of ON THE GO have turned up on home video, but heavily edited. A complete transcription of the Stooges' broadcast interview was published in The Three Stooges Journal #s 83 and 84 (Fall and Winter 1997).
