Chumlee On Pawn Stars Makes 25K Per Episode - Drives A Maserati
It's Friday and this falls into the "this will piss you off category."
I like Pawn Stars because I think it's informative and I like the history lessons. But I did some research and I found that fat **** Austin "Chumlee" Russell on Pawn Stars makes 25 grand per episode and he drives a freaking Maserati. If you think any of these "reality" shows are real think again. Pawn Stars is about as scripted as it can be. In fact Gold & Silver Pawn is hardly a pawn shop anymore but more of a gift shop selling coffee mugs and t-shirts. You can tell it's all staged because no one is in the shop when they are shooting, it's always empty. I know this good looking lady down here in Houston who owns a pawn shop and asked her if anyone has ever approached her about doing a show like this. She said yes but they wanted to tell her who would play what character/personality. The shows producers decide who plays what. I asked how does Pawn Stars get all that crazy stuff to walk through the door and she said they place ads in the local papers looking for people to bring in weird stuff for the show. So I guess they're all actors. Chumlee plays a dumbass and plays it well but dude is worth almost a million dollars because of this show. Man. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/ric...ell-net-worth/ "Austin Chumlee Russell is an American reality television star with a net worth of $600 thousand and a salary per episode $25,000. Austin Chumlee Russell acquired that net worth as a cast member of the History Channel reality show Pawn Stars. He works behind the counter of the pawnshop and has a special interest in pinball machines. The show follows the goings-on at the Las Vegas based 24-hour Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. Austin famously was able to talk a local Maserati shop into selling him a $100,000 car for only $85,000 proving his skills as a haggler. Chumlee got the job because he is Corey Harrison's childhood best friend." |

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2002219.html Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison on Fame, Imitators And Why His Fiancée Will Never Be on the Show What's the strangest thing anyone's ever said to you? That they want to have my baby! [Laughs] It is bizarre how popular the show is. In South America, I'm not the number one show on cable, I'm the number one show, period. They set up a thing for me and Corey to sign some autographs, and they thought something like 500 people would show up. 12,000 people showed up. They had to call the national police for crowd control. A van pulls up with guys with big guns pop out. It's like we were The Beatles. Wow. Where was this? That was in Buenos Aires. I get people from Japan wanting my autograph. We're on TV in 150 different countries, 32 languages. |

This is the first time iirc that I use icon in a post. I need an "expert" to tell me if it is appropriate use of icon or not. I don't recall ever seeing it in any other post before for any reason. Does that affect the vallue of icon for it's usage since it is so rare to use? |
