[Giff me dat fill-em!]

Soupy Sales ... I love dat guy!! Da kid breaks me up!!

BTW ... when Moe asks Maha "what do you do", look up at the top of the video frame and you'll see a boom mike. It remains there until Moe stands up and talks to Soupy. (actually .. the boom mike appears several times  on-and-off throughout the skit, so look for it)

Moe ... whada guy! ... ("looks like more than one 'soft grenade'" ... nyuk, nyuk, nyuk)

Is there a live version featuring Shemp? Has it surfaced anywhere?

Shemp died in 1955. Moe appeared on the Mike Douglas show in the early 1970's.

I think he meant is there a live appearance of the Boys performing the Maha routine with Shemp.

I don't know if they ever did or not myself..

Moe, Larry & Shemp performed "The Maharajah" on the October 10, 1950 TEXACO STAR THEATRE. Unknown whether a kinescope exists; most TEXACO episodes did not survive NBC's early, haphazard archival practices.

If they ever found Shemp's version, it would be a gem. I'm sure it would be the best one!

Besides Shemp looks great in those bicyclefocals!
