Re: The Three Stooges on THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW (1959)
The Stuntman routine is like a warhorse Abbott & Costello bit -- obvious surefire material that plays itself out by the numbers and rarely has any surprises in it. So the use of Pedro the extra was a nice addition. Such an eccentric character seemed to walk out of a Jack Benny sketch. I was more...
