In November 1950, Moore joined the service and remained enlisted for more than 34 months. Stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky but later traveling to Korea and Berlin, Rudy would often perform for his fellow service men who nicknamed him "The Harlem Hillbilly" for his R&B style of singing country songs. One night while putting on shows at the service club, the following act was slow to come out on stage. The crowd began to yell for something to happen, so Moore performed a comedy routine he had learned from Caldonia Young, a Cleveland comedian whom Moore would watch a lot. The crowd loved it and at this point he decided to pursue his comedy career.

Moore's appearances on August 6 & 7, at the COMEDY CARAVAN in Kentucky were a huge success. All of his shows were sold out and Moore had a great time stating this was one of the best receptions / appearances he has had in some time. The shows were recorded for a possible live CD release if Moore is satisfied with the recording.

Moore began his entertainment career as an R&B singer and continued singing through his comedy career. He developed an interest in comedy in the Army after expanding on a singing performance for other servicemen.

Moore's comedy albums were always recorded at his home instead of in a club. He would invite his friends over, serve drinks, with an engineer there to record the proceedings. This quickly gained him the title "The king of the party records."
