In one instance a customer pawned a valuable musical instrument at the shop, fully intent on collecting it again and paying off his debt.Ĭhumlee was placed in charge of storing the said item, but unfortunately somehow ended up damaging the sensitive piece beyond repair. Not only can he be rather irresponsible, but Austin also tends to be clumsy.

Though, despite his popularity, there are several reasons why Austin’s place as both a star of the series and an employee of the pawnshop could be disputed.

Pawn Starsįortunately, putting Chumlee in full view of the cameras paid off, as his comic relief, often being the butt of everyone’s jokes, quickly won over the viewers, and might even have generated an increase in viewerships. Unsurprisingly, his areas of expertise include sports fashion, video gaming and pinball machines, as can be expected of an (apparently) underachieving, lazy greaseball.

Initially, Austin was given very little responsibility in the shop, most probably hired to literally only do some of the lifting, but after proving his appraising skills in his areas of expertise, Richard decided to give him more responsibilities, and to become a member of the primary staff. As a childhood friend of Corey Harrison, Chumlee landed a job at the pawnshop five years before official filming of the series began, and although not part of the original cast, Chumlee eventually earned his place in front of the cameras.ĭespite not being a model employee, Chumlee nonetheless earned the favour of viewers, which ultimately made him an irreplaceable member of the featured cast. However, with the new season kicking off, fans seem concerned about the inclusion of Chumlee, who according to rumours on the internet, might have been fired.Ĭhumlee initially appeared in the show back in the first season as an extra, often showing his face working part-time and behind the scenes of the shop. Now, it has returned for a seventeenth season, which according to Rick’s Instagram account, will feature the cast travelling the world in search of valuable and rare artifacts to sell in their world-famous pawn shop. ‘Pawn Stars’ debuted in 2009, and since rising to astounding popularity, has completed a total of sixteen seasons during its long, twelve-year run on television. Several of the regular consultants on the show have gained their own series, who include Rick Dale from ‘American Restoration’, and Danny Koker from ‘Counting Cars’.

Other featured stars on the show include experts and consultants on various specialities, which range from automobiles to historical art and just about anything imaginable.Ĭheck your guides for more. The major cast includes the leading Harrison boys, father and son, Rick and Corey, as well as Corey’s best friend, Austin ‘Chumlee’ Russel. The shop was originally founded in 1989 by the family patriarch, Richard Harrison, known on the show as ‘Old Man’, but since his unfortunate passing, Richard’s son, Rick, and his grandson, Corey, have taken over the shop.Īside from the normal features of the show, some focus also falls on the personal relationships, and at times their conflicts, of the ‘Gold and Silver Pawn Shop’s staff, providing entertainment for some of the audience members who have less of an interest in the daily activities of a pawnbroker. Produced by Leftfield pictures, ‘Pawn Stars’ follows the daily activities of the Las Vegas thrift shop, World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, and its employees as they barter and appraise the many odd items carried or dragged into the store.Īs per usual, the narrator of any given episode accounts the history of each item, giving the audience all the available information of the artifacts the shop might buy up. A post shared by Pawn Stars falls only slightly behind the popularity of ‘Jersey Shore’ but seems equally as entertaining.
