"This is a real Tribble from the original series, this is an amazing find. I think you can get $800 at auction."

• Fact 1: Tribbles are fictional animals in the Star Trek universe who first appeared in the episode titled "The Trouble With Tribbles.
• Fact 2: The Tribbles were designed by special effects genius Wah Chang. Irving Feinberg, Star Trek's prop master, supervised construction of the creatures. They were sewn by Jacqueline CumerŠ, who was reportedly paid $350 to make 500 of them.
• Fact 3: The Klingons' final solution to the tribble menace was to wipe the species out entirely. Klingon warriors were sent to hunt them down throughout the galaxy, and the tribble homeworld was obliterated in the late 23rd century.
• Fact 4: Special effects man Jim Rugg made six Tribbles "walk" by using toy dogs. He cut off the toy's heads and fitted them with a Tribble skin. One of them can be seen in the episode walking across a railing on the bridge of the Enterprise for a moment before being scooped up by Captain Kirk.
• Fact 5: Some Tribbles were taken home by the cast and crew. A few were given to fans. Many were offered as donation premiums during an April 1969 fundraiser for Los Angeles Public Television station KCET, having been smuggled out of Paramount by prop man Irving Feinberg.

The full cast of ‘Pawn Stars,’ explained

The History Channel has been airing its hit reality show, Pawn Stars for nearly fifteen years now. One of the longest-running reality TV shows of all time , season 22 of the show aired in 2023, and it was recently confirmed that a twenty-third is on its way.

Pawn Stars follows the daily exploits of the staff of Gold & Silver, a pawn shop in Las Vegas owned by the Harrison family. Opened by Richard ”Old Man” Harrison, the shop has been passed down to his son Rick, and will likely be passed to Rick’s son, Corey. However, Pawn Stars isn’t enjoyed only for the unique and fascinating items that are bought and sold, but for the relational dynamics between the cast. Besides the staff and family of the company, Gold & Silver, it’s usually a new crop of characters each episode. Nonetheless, the main cast is the heart of the series, and here’s all you need to know about them. 

Richard ”Rick” Harrison, aka The Spotter

Richard ”Rick” Harrison is the owner and co-founder of Gold & Silver . He has been working at the shop since he was 13 years old. Rick dropped out of high school because he was allegedly making all the money he needed selling knockoff products. Evidently, he’s continued chasing the bag since. Nicknamed “The Spotter,” his keen eye for both unique items and good business deals is super impressive. 

His interest in reading and history led to his brief stint on the H2 series, United Stuff on America in 2014, which delved into important items and artifacts of American history. On the personal side, Rick has been divorced three times and is now on his fourth marriage with Amanda Palmer. He had three sons: Corey, who works at the pawn shop, Jake, who isn’t involved in the business, and Adam, who worked at the shop briefly, but became a plumber. Adam Harrison died of a drug overdose in Jan. 2024 . 

Richard Benjamin Harrison, aka The Old Man

Rick’s father, Richard Benjamin Harrison, died in 2018. He opened Gold & Silver in 1989 with Rick, and earned the nickname ”The Old Man” due to his quiet demeanor and calm presence. Harrison was a Navy veteran with 20 years of service under his belt.  He was known for not saying much, but spent the bulk of his time observing. He was also often the voice of reason concerning Corey and Chumlee’s shenanigans. Harrison married Joanne Rhue in 1960, and they had four children together. 

Corey Harrison, aka Big Hoss

Corey Harrison, known as “Big Hoss,” is the son of Rick Harrison, and the current manager of Gold & Silver’s daily operations. He has been working at the shop since he was nine years old, and is being trained by his father to take over the entire business. Though he gained his nickname due to his weight, Harrison has made significant changes to his lifestyle and lost a lot of weight throughout the show. 

He learned that he was at risk of becoming diabetic, and had to undergo gastric lap band surgery, which put things into perspective for him. In the sixth season of the show, Harrison went head to head with his father and grandfather, demanding that he get a 10% partnership in the shop. The conflict was resolved, and he now has a 5% partnership, as well as the assurance of bigger stakes. He has been divorced twice, and has one son, who he named after his grandfather. 

Austin Lee Russel, aka Chumlee

Austin Lee Russel earned the nickname “Chumlee” when he was compared to Chumley, the cartoon walrus from the kid’s show Tennessee Tuxedo . Clearly, the nickname stuck all through his life. Chumlee is one of Corey Harrison’s closest friends, and started working at Gold & Silver at the age of 21. He does most of the behind-the-scenes work at the shop, such as writing up tickets, and loading purchases.

Chumlee is also often used as a guinea pig for items that require testing, and provides a lot of comedic relief on the show. He has proven multiple times that he isn’t solely a goof, and boasts some pretty awesome strengths and abilities, such as his prowess at pinball. Chumlee also made significant changes to his lifestyle, following in Big Hoss’ example and shedding off some weight in 2013.

About the show.

Long before banks, ATMS and check-cashing services, there were pawn shops. Pawning was the leading form of consumer credit in the United States until the 1950s, and pawn shops are still helping everyday people make ends meet. Pawn Stars takes you inside the colorful world of the pawn business. At the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas, three generations of the Harrison family–grandfather Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey–jointly run the family business, and there’s clashing and camaraderie every step of the way. The three men use their sharp eyes and skills to assess the value of items from the commonplace to the truly historic, including a 16th-century samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso painting and a 17th-century stay of execution. It’s up to them to determine what’s real and what’s fake, as they reveal the often surprising answer to the questions on everyone’s mind, “What’s the story behind it?” and “What’s it worth?”

Pawn stars: 10 fakest things about the show, according to cast & crew.

Fans of Pawn Stars get to see some interesting negotiations, items and deals go down on the show, but not everything is as real as it seems.

With the Pawn Stars spinoff series, Pawn Stars Do America, newly premiered November 9th, fans were excited to see what this new entry to the reality franchise will bring to the table. Pawn Stars has become an international sensation and follows the lives of a group of employees and partners working at a popular pawn shop.

Fans get to see some interesting negotiations, items, and deals go down on the hit series, but not everything is as real as it seems. These are just a few of the fakest things on the show.

Sellers Are Pre-Vetted

While it seems on the show that potential sellers simply walk into the store and start pitching their items, it is far from the truth. The reality is that sellers are often first vetted by the producers before they can appear in front of the cast.

The vetting process involves finding whether the items are interesting enough to appear on the show and if the people appearing in front of the cameras are interesting enough or not.

The Store Is More Of A Tourist Attraction

Although a large part of the reality TV show is shot in the store, it operates more like a tourist destination now. Fans can be seen lining up outside of the store just to get a chance at taking a few photos and meeting some of the Pawn Stars cast that they see on television.

Although the store does operate as a pawn shop, it is quite unrecognizable from what viewers see on the show. It even has a gift section where fans can buy all sorts of show merchandise.

Items Are Pre-Screened

Fans and viewers of the show have noticed through the seasons that most of the items appearing on the show are either unique, valuable, or beautiful. Apparently, this isn't just a coincidence.

Producers of the show first check every item before deciding if it should be featured on the show or not. Even if the item is not real, it is made sure that it has an interesting back story. This is why even some odd items are allowed on Pawn Stars , to make it more entertaining.

Negotiations Are Also Done Beforehand

Producers and showrunners go through a lot of vetting before a potential seller appears in front of the camera. One of the most entertaining aspects of the show is watching the sellers and pawn stars negotiate and go back and forth while deciding on a price.

But apparently, even this is pre-decided and producers negotiate a potential price with the sellers beforehand. One of the reasons why this is done is because real-life negotiations can take a lot of time and boring back and forth. Covering all of this might not be as entertaining for the reality show. Although, one thing to note is that it is not decided whether the staff will end up buying the item or not.

Interactions Are Scripted

One of the reasons for the reality show's popularity is the fun of watching different sellers interact with the cast members when reaching the final price point. But other than the price being pre-negotiated, it seems like even the interactions are heavily influenced. It's one of the rules that sellers on Pawn Stars have to follow.

To make sure the show is entertaining, some of the interactions between the seller and the cast members are apparently scripted , especially the different talking points. This is also done so that people don't freeze up in front of the camera.

Cast Members Are Rarely Behind The Counter

Although at the beginning of the show, cast members actually were behind the counter and took part in the negotiation process, this has changed over the years.

During normal working hours, people will rarely find the cast members behind the counter. Over the years, they have set up numerous other businesses and only get behind the counter during filming hours. The normal day-to-day work is overseen by the other employees at Gold & Silver Pawn.

Gold & Silver Pawn Sells Other Items

Even in the more recent seasons of Pawn Stars, it is shown that the store mostly sells other pawned items and operates like a normal pawn shop, but the reality of this has changed over the years.

Through the years, the popularity of the show has increased around the world. This means that a lot of fans come to just visit the store. This is why the cast members decided to set up a shop to sell merchandise, as well, so that fans can get some memorabilia.

Some Sellers Are Planted

Even though sellers and their items are pre-vetted by the producers, it is not always certain that they will find the right people or the right items to make the show entertaining.

Sometimes even friends, family, or known associates of the cast members will appear on the show with just the right product that makes for good television. A lot of times, the people are not actually looking to sell the items they bring, just merely show it for entertainment.

Some Are Hired Actors

Even with all the vetting of sellers and even calling on some friends to star in the show, sometimes it might be difficult for producers to find enough people with enough interesting items to fill an entire season.

To solve this problem, the showrunners sometimes hire people and plant them with stories and items to pitch on the show. There are also even stories of the experts being planted by the producers. That's why some viewers think that Pawn Stars is one of the fakest reality TV shows out there.

Product Placement Is Huge

Most people can't enjoy the same food every single day of their working lives. But it seems on the show that the cast members are huge fans of Subway, as they can be seen eating it at almost every meeting.

In one of the episodes, the cast members even used Subway to explain how an auction works. It's clear from this that Pawn Stars is sponsored by Subway , and they are, apparently, their biggest sponsor.
