“Pawn Stars” made its television debut in 2009, and went on to become the History channel’s highest-rated show. It made household names of shop owners Richard “Old Man” Harrison, his son Rick Harrison, Corey Harrison (Rick’s son) and loveable goofball Austin “Chumlee” Russell.
The show has spawned other Las Vegas shows as well, including “American Restoration” and “Counting Cars.”
