Had To Hire New Employees

As it turns out, the fan-favorites of “Pawn Stars” can’t actually serve as real employees behind the counter anymore. Why? Because of strict privacy laws. Seeing as they became so famous, fans and tourists are always coming into the store to take pictures of them, which puts the privacy of whoever is at the counter at risk.

PBS did a special on the pawnshop, causing the business to soar, of course. Rick started to consider the idea of doing a reality show after this. At first, HBO expressed interest and developed a pilot as well, but their focus was on the negative aspects of the shop. As one would expect, the employees didn’t want that kind of show to air. The show ended up with The History Channel but took off in a completely different direction.
