On this episode of Our American Stories, Brad Server grew up like millions of kids, glued to reruns of The Three Stooges and laughing at the slapstick chaos of Curly Howard, Larry Fine, and Moe Howard. What he didn’t know was that one of the most famous comedians in the world wasn’t just his hero but his grandfather. For years, his family had kept the truth hidden. Curly’s fame was complicated, shadowed by health struggles and the pressures of early Hollywood. When Brad finally learned who he was, the discovery connected him to a man he had only ever known through laughter. Today, Brad honors that legacy as “Curly G,” sharing stories about his grandfather’s life, the brilliance behind the act, and the lasting power of The Three Stooges to make the world smile.
