How about some talk about my favorite tv show of all time:
                The Three Stooges
How about this one?   What are the real-life names of all of the stooges?

Curly Howard was really Jerome Horowitz (known as "Babe" to his brothers
                        Moe and Shemp because he was the baby of the family)
  Moe Howard was really  Harry Horowitz
Larry Fine   was really  Larry Fineberg (really an accomplished violinist)
Shemp Howard was really  James Horowitz (I think ... darn!!! now it evades me)
  Joe Besser is his real name as well. (Note his voice in some cartoons now)
Curly Joe    is  really  Joe DeRita

  ** Shemp was really the first person to play the role of the third stooge
     in the trio as most people know it.  They began as a vaudeville act by
     the name "Ted Healey and his Stooges".  Ted Healey was the head man of
     the team and the stooges were his patsies.  They did a few MGM short films
     in the early 30's and after the first, Shemp had a disagreement with
     Healey and Shemp quit.  Curly, then with a full head of hair, shaved
     and became the new stooge.

Truly the best comedy team in history.
