It has every sugary delicacy you could want, including a whole load of saltwater taffy. One of them is a big old sweet shop right across the street from the pawn emporium, with the rather delightful name of Chumlee’s Candy on the Boulevard. While Chumlee will always be best known as the living mascot of the Harrisons’ pawn enterprise, he also has a few sidelines of his own. Chumlee’s response? 'Don’t be mad because you don’t have a cartoon of yourself.' Rick Harrison was less than impressed, calling it a stupid purchase. And when someone came to the pawn shop with a rare animation cel from the series which actually depicted Chumley, Corey Harrison snapped it up in honour of his best pal. Not the most flattering comparison maybe, but name stuck. He was actually dubbed 'Chumlee' as a kid, when a friend’s dad said he looked a lot like cartoon walrus Chumley, from the 60s children’s series Tennessee Tuxedo. And you couldn’t accuse the man of being a miser about it – he’s splashed out on a car collection any petrolhead would envy, with a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maserati GranTurismo and 1964 Impala SS among the impressive sets of wheels he’s bought over the years.Ģ His nickname was inspired by a cartoon walrusĬynics who think Chumlee was given a quirky nickname for telly purposes: allow us to put you right. He’d actually been working there for five years when the TV series came calling, promptly bringing him fame and a pretty chunky fortune. Read on to find out how much he has to his name, along with some other essential facts on the man, the myth, the Chumlee.Ĭhumlee – real name Austin Lee Russell – has certainly come a long way since he was just a lowly lackey behind the counter at the pawn shop. Which is just as well, given that he’s never seen a pair of trainers he hasn’t wanted to buy. Things like easy-charm, iconic facial hair, and a deep working knowledge of pinball machines. Sure, the others may have tons of historical knowledge and haggling know-how, but Chumlee also brings other things to the table. All in all a fun show to watch.Pawnbroker, reality show superstar and world-renowned sneakerhead (which, translated into British, means someone who really, really likes trainers), Chumlee is the Renaissance man of the Pawn Stars crew. Things they have not bought include a car that was obvious crap that the guy who was trying to sell it got ticked off when Rick (the dad) backed off after a person with mechanical experience looked at it. Things that people have sold on the show include very rare coins, hot air balloons, numerous cars and a whole bunch of other stuff. The show is humorous to go along with seeing all the interesting things people bring in. All the guys are interesting, it is fun to watch when one of them buys something not worth anything and then the others pounce. It also has a guy called Chumlee who I just can not believe he is as stupid as he appears to be. The show centers around a dad, his father and the son. You also get to see people haggle over price, people getting mad when they are told their stuff is not worth all that much money, and people get really happy as they find their stuff is worth a fortune. So we get to see during each episode some interesting stuff people bring in, some rare stuff, and some just plain strange things. This show revolves around a pawn shop in Las Vegas and there are apparently a lot of strange things that happen there so there are going to be some interesting things for people to want to sell. I like reality shows about interesting people going about their daily routine especially when it too is interesting.
