After filming more than 600 episodes at their Las Vegas–based World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, Rick Harrison and company are taking their business on the road and visiting eight different cities across the United States in the History Channel spinoff Pawn Stars Do America.
Each two-hour episode will follow the Pawn Stars as they hunt for historical items and valuable collectibles. And, according to Rick, aka "The Spotter," audiences will see "all sorts of crazy stuff" in this new spinoff series.
"A lot of people have stuff and they're not gonna take a trip to Vegas to sell it to me and they just don't know exactly where to take it," the business owner exclusively told Distractify. "So I did this thing and people were just showing up with the most weird, bizarre stuff."
"I bought a lot of crazy stuff," he added. "It's been fun. It's a lot of work, you know, living in hotels all the time."
