The Pawn Stars are seeing stars as rap artist, Flavor Flav, brings in an O.J. Simpson statue with a six-figure price tag, but is the juice worth the squeeze? Then, Rick sees money signs when a seller comes in an autographed Winston Churchill letter, while Chum tries to appreciate a trophy given to former Chicago Cubs owner, P.K. Wrigley. And later, Corey and Rick check out a custom 1951 Mercury, but they'll only make a deal if the stars align.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
