Shemp: One of the original stooges but when he wanted to try a solo career, he was replaced by Curly until 1947. Eight years later he died. He was played by Shemp Howard.

Curly: The replacement of Shemp and the most recognizable stooge of all. He was famous because of his "Woo-woo-woos". He was played by Curly Howard.

Joe: He was called in to replace Shemp Howard. He was played by Joe Besser.

Curly Joe: One of the final stooges. He performed in the Three Stooges movies and cartoons. He was played by Joe DeRita.

The Robonic Stooges

After the live-acting shorts of the Three Stooges an early Saturday show was made, the Robonic Stooges. This show had the three main stooges; Moe, Larry, and Curly, as robotic androids who clumsily save the day. This series lasted from January 28, 1978 to September 2, 1978.
