What Comedian Of The Past 30 Years Would Have Made A Good Third Stooge?

The Late era Stooge thread got me thinking about this.
In the land of what if, if you could have plugged in any comedian of your choice of the past 30 years with Moe and Larry, who would you choose.
I'm thinking John Belushi and Chris Farley both would have been great possible replacements for Curly and Shemp. Not to imitate Curly or Shemp, but to bring their own "thing" to the trio.

Who would you pick?

 

Jim Carrey. He was just made for vaudeville-style slapstick comedy and goofy facial expressions.

 

There was and will only ever be, for me, the original Moe, Shemp and Curly Howard.

That leaves Larry...

Jason Alexander, from Seinfeld, would be a good Larry.

Albert Brooks would be a great Larry.

Although not really a comedian, but, the late Wild Man Fischer would have made a great Larry.

 

doesn't really look the part, but I think Billy Crystal would have been good

 

There's no way Jim Carrey would have been bad, but he doesn't project the right amount of "dimness" that some others would, imo.

 

Marty Feldman could have pulled it off.

 

Buddy Hackett could have been pretty good too, I think. I can definitely picture him with his facial expressions fitting the bill.

 

Have you seen Dumb And Dumber?

 

Alec Baldwin!!!!! Deliciously, wonderfully wicked bad boy

 

Will Sasso

 

Ok, yeah he was pretty dim in that one.

 

I'm going a little off the reservation and say Jim Varney. Earnest P. Worrell was pretty much a stooge anyways.

Bernie Mac

 

Hmmm...Christopher Lloyd (Reverend Jim Ignatowski), or and I also dig Jim Carrey.

 

Bill Kirchenbauer

 

How about Bobcat Goldthwait(sp?)?

 

Marty Allen

 

OR............. Jackie Mason

 

Steve Martin or Martin Lawrence.

 

Lenny Bruce, as a very edgy Moe.

 

Will Ferrell

 

Bill Irwin

Larry David as "Larry":



Those old 1980s Fridays sketches will never be syndicated, because of the massive amounts of drug jokes. I tell ya, I fell down laughing at the thought of a modern Three Stooges completed blitzed out on coke. Hey, it was funny in 1980. "Moe, Larry, blow! Moe, Larry, blow!"

As god is my witness, I worked with Larry for a couple of hours 20 years later, and got to tell him, "man, you were the best Larry Fine ever."

 

Joe Pesci - a salty stooge.
