Did the Three Stooges and Little Rascals ever co-star in the same show?

I'm not sure what you mean by "show."
As far as the comedy shorts are concerned, the answer is no. The
"Little Rascals" (actually "Our Gang" originally) were Hal Roach/MGM and
The Stooges were Columbia.

I'm not sure what he means either. :)
But some of the supporting actors did appear with both (Billy Gilbert- MEN IN
BLACK and SHIVER MY TIMBERS, for example), even though they were at two
different studios.

Tommy Bond was in several short subjects at Columbia (Andy Clyde,
Kennedy and Collins, etc) but apparently none with the Three Stooges
(unless I missed something).

You are right Spark. Tommy did do a few Columbia shorts during the
thirties, but he never did one with the Stooges. I think he only did
Columbia shorts for a brief time during 1935-1936 after his first stint at
Roach with Our Gang. In 1937 he returned to Our Gang and began his familiar
Butch character. Might be wrong on the dates, but I'm probably close.

Okay...Channel 32 in Chicago ran something called the "Stooges Rascals Hour" in
the 1970s. They had a special intro produced with Spike Jones' "Knock Knock
Who's There" playing (from the album "60 Years Of Muisc America Hates Best")
accompanied by colorized still photos of the Stooges and Rascals. Then later,
when the show was cut down to 30 minutes with just the Stooges, they made a
much shorter one with photos of the Stooges.
Here's a brief history of the Channel 32 Stooge intros, best as I can recall.
1975: Clip of "Studio Stoops" ("I'll take one," followed by four pies) leading
into "Der Fuhrer's Face" by Spike Jones, with a drawing of the
Stooges--possibly Moe, Larry and Curly-Joe if I recall correctly--superimposed
over clips of various shorts.
1975: Animation of something resembling either a film projector or moviola with
three windows, each featuring various stills of Larry, Moe and Curly, which
changed to another picture after each one was hit with pies. The music was some
generic production music, a medley of a bunch of children's songs including
"Three Blind Mice," "Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush," etc. This replaced
the "Fuhrer's Face" intro after only a few months and continued until 1977. The
music was later used for an afternoon block of children's programs on Channel
32, "Lunchtime Fun," in the early 1980s.
1977: "Stooges Rascals Hour" (see above)
1978: "The Three Stooges" (revision of "Stooges Rascals Hour"); see above
1983: "Comedy Festival" (generic production music played on a synthesizer;
drawing of balloons with photos of Moe, Curly, Larry and various Rascals) (an
alternate version used the name "Comedy Classics")
1984: Similar one with just Stooges and no Rascals
1984: Completely different one, showing a TV on a black and white checkered
floor, with different photos of the Stooges and various Rascals
There have to be others, but I can't remember them all...
As far as hosts: WGN/Channel 9 had the Stooges hosted first by Carl Greyson and
Chatters The Chimp, then after a year or two, Bob "Bozo" Bell as Andy Starr.
Rich Koz hosted the Stooges on Channel 32 briefly around 1990 and has hosted
them again since last year on WCIU-Channel 26.
