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.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
