Read More. Granted, this doesn't mean that the items are plants from producers. In fact, longtime shop manager Travis Benton told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that his brokers "spot unique items and show them to producers who decide if they are worthy of broadcasting. Another shop employee, Rocco Landi, said, "Once an item is deemed 'possible TV material,' its seller is coached on how to act while on camera.
Some people have a great item to sell, but they appear nervous on film. It can take several tries to get it right, depending on the person. Producers have cut items from the show because the seller could not 'pull it together' on camera, but it doesn't happen often. Executive producer Brent Montgomery even admitted that the staging goes a little bit further than that. In an interview with Odyssey , Montgomery said that they have "really smart scripters to feed the characters organic information," and that he's coached the guys on buying stuff they wouldn't otherwise go for if they weren't doing the show.
He also said the production team pre-negotiates pricing with the potential sellers off-camera "to make sure that these people will actually sell the stuff at a reasonable price, otherwise they're just trying to be on TV.
But they do actually shoot the show in the store, only privately and with customers who sign releases and agree to be extras. This sometimes causes issues for Benton and the other sellers on the floor, but more on that in a minute. According to Starcasm , part of the reason the Pawn Stars crew isn't readily available to the public is due to "Nevada's privacy laws," specifically in regards to the fact that shop patrons would constantly be trying to take photos and videos of the reality stars which could "violate the privacy of others in the shop by accidentally taking a shot of them.
This can sometimes mean a real interruption of business, according to shop manager Travis Benton, who told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that "sales can suffer because of the show. The rest are just there as fans of the show. But before you start thinking that GS Pawn is in danger of going out of business, keep in mind that the store draws 4, to 5, visitors a day. Well, Harrison backed that up big time in that Las Vegas Now interview, claiming his shop "competes with the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign for the number one non-gaming tourist attraction in Las Vegas," as well as gets "more visitors than the Hoover Dam.
And it seems to be true. A reviewer for Traveller notes that lines routinely extend down the sidewalk, and can sometimes take "two-to-three hours to get through. So, it fittingly is a roll of the dice whether a super fan's long wait will pay off with an autograph, but hey, isn't that what Vegas is all about? Calling himself a "media whore," Rick Harrison says he always knew TV exposure was good for business. According to The New York Times , the original concept for Pawn Stars started on HBO, but after a disastrous pilot and the expiration of his contract, Harrison turned to Leftfield Productions, the company that still produces the show today.
Despite his legal troubles, Chumlee is far and away the fan favorite of Pawn Stars. Even Harrison, who is featured most prominently on the show, knows this, as he once told The Star-Telegram that tourists often opt for the Chumlee merchandise, like the "Chumlee for President T-shirt.
But Chumlee wasn't always part of the plan. He told Las Vegas Now that the show was originally just a family gig until they started looking for a fourth cast member. We have good camaraderie, and I'm just going to be funny and joke with them like we would normally do, and not get nervous in front of the cameras, and it kind of worked out," he said. And by "kind of worked out" he means he became a multi-millionaire.
Meanwhile, does anyone even want to guess how bad those other nine employees hate Chumlee? After Harrison wed legal worker Deanna Burditt in , tabloids reported that the lovebirds were embroiled in a legal battle involving Burditt's ex-husband, Richard Burditt, who was free on bail while awaiting trial for a variety of sex-related charges. Not surprisingly, Harrison didn't have great things to say about his wife's ex, or "all the bureaucracy" of the legal system that he felt took too long to bring Burditt to justice.
Speaking with Glenn Beck on his radio show via The Blaze , Harrison claimed that Burditt plead guilty to sexually assaulting a year-old girl but had his sentencing delayed for four years while he awaited "his psycho-sexual evaluation. Pawn Stars cast member Olivia Black lost her gig on the show after nude photos of her surfaced, exposing her previous career as a model for SuicideGirls.
She later revealed that she was still an employee of the store, as she was really only "fired" in front of the cameras. Harrison confirmed the details of the scandal to Fox News , saying, "I never fired her.
She's out doing her own thing now. It's just the production company did not want her working there anymore. What she does in her personal life Black resumed her modeling career, and it was alleged that she sued to get back on the show. Although during her Reddit AMA , Black denied there was a lawsuit and openly petitioned to return to the show, writing, "I am still trying to show the production company that if I was fired for the SG photos, that the fans don't care.
