The Most Watched Reality TV Show
2012 had proved to be a remarkable year for reality TV, and it was also one of the Pawn Stars' best years. Up until then, the show had steadily begun growing in popularity since its debut back in 2009 on The History Channel, but 2012 was when America actually fell in love with the Harrisons and Chumlee.
The only show that performed better than Pawn Stars was 'The Jersey Shore.'
Corey's Assistant
As millionaires can afford it, Corey Harrison, the son of Rick and potential heir to the Gold & Silver shop has his own personal assistant. Corey always takes her everywhere he goes, and one of those places is dune buggy racing out in the Nevada desert.
One of the most bizarre things his assistant had to do for him is having her clean out his trailer's septic tank.
A Bus Driver
Originally from Danville, VA, the Harrison family used to be 'dirt poor,' in the words of Richard' old man' Harrison. The family was struggling to get by with barely enough money to survive, so Richard had to work from a young age.
According to his memoirs, Richard started working as a school bus driver when he was just 14. Clearly, underage driving was not a pressing issue back then!
An Educated kid
Rick is known for being well-read, seeing as he loves books and especially history books. The story behind his love of reading comes from a difficult period in his life. When Rick was a child he had epilepsy, which meant he had to be confined to his bed for weeks at a time.
During that time, the only source of entertainment he could turn to was reading, and he read everything he could.
