Get ready for the biggest game of the year with the Pawn Stars when a ball signed by NFL hall of famer Walter Payton spirals into the shop. Will Corey be able to keep his head in the game, or will a tough negotiation cause him to fumble? Then, when a program from the first Super Bowl rushes in, Corey is forced to make a game-time decision. Will he score before the clock runs out? And later, all bets are off when the Old Man gets to decide who has to work the day of the big game. Will the guys play by the rules or make an illegal substitution?.
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.
