Others still living, who performed with The Three Stooges -
Martin Sperzel, singing bartender from BEER AND PRETZELS (1933)
From the Shemp era
- Rose Marie and Yogi Berra, TEXACO STAR THEATRE appearances (1950)
- Alan Young, THE FRANK SINATRA SHOW (1952) and THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR (1951)
- Although we know that the Stooges performed on the 1952 OLYMPIC FUND TELETHON, and they appeared on camera with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, we do not know what their sketch was about, nor who else may have performed with them... living celebrities also on that telethon include Tony Curtis, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jerry Lewis and Margaret O'Brien
From the DeRita era
- Pat Harrington Jr., Bill Dana and Jayne Meadows, STEVE ALLEN SHOW skits (1959)
- James Karen, Met Life commercial (1967)
- Russell Arms, Dickie Work Clothes commercial (1969)
- Regis Philbin, JOEY BISHOP SHOW co-host (1967 - 1969 talk show)
- Maureen O'Hara, Stuart Goetz, Frankie Avalon, Nancy Sinatra and Joanie Sommers, OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD: Who's Afraid of Mother Goose? (1967)
- Bob Barker, TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES (1969)
- Johnny Mathis, SUNDAY SHOWCASE: The Frances Langford Show (1960)
- Tim Conway, Bill Cosby and Spike Jones Jr., DANNY THOMAS MEETS THE COMICS: What Makes People Laugh? (1965)
- Mimi Hines, THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW [week's] co-host (1964)
- Cary, Tina and Eileen Brown, THE NEW 3 STOOGES (1965); Margaret Kerry & Dick Brown's children
- Eric Lamond, THE NEW 3 STOOGES (1965)
Until last week, Jimmy Dean would have been on the list. He was guest host the night the Stooges appeared on THE TONIGHT SHOW in July 1962.
JazzBill:
Thats incredible that Martin Sperzel is still with us. I remember a couple of years ago there was some thought that Frances McCoy from "Soup To Nuts" might still alive but that turned out to be not true.

Martin is the last surviving member of The Sportsmen Quartet, of Jack Benny's radio and TV shows. Recently celebrated # 97, and lives in Sherman Oaks.

I take it we're not including the cast members of my favorite film ever, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. If we are, then here are a few more people who are still with us.

Hey BeAStooge. You mentioned Martin Sperzel. I, too, am impressed and pleased to know he's still with us. Has he ever been contacted about attending a convention or fan club meeting? That would be fantastic!

Or at least an interview?
Also, I belong to an Old-Time Radio Club that would be thrilled to contact and interview him.
