Pawn stars on the History channel? I guess I shot my TV before all this.
Ha!

As long as he doesn’t laugh at too many of his own jokes, it should be ok.
Not much love for Rick Harrison here it seems. Yet he deserves credit and respect for success in business and in entertainment with a real world version of the snooty Antiques Roadshow on PBS. Patriotic and conservative, Harrison may well be at CPAC looking to run for office and revitalize the struggling Nevada GOP along conservative lines.
Obviously, you must pass the FR purity test. Get the witch’s dunk chair ready!
Yet there is a loose connection between Roadshow and Pawn Stars with a couple of Rick’s “guys I know who can tell me more” about an item also appear on the PBS show to evaluate family heirlooms and the like.
Gee, I wonder if he is going to tell us again how great a President Marco Rubio is going to be.
Pass.
I watched the video of his speech at last year’s CPAC.
Hate to say it, but he’s a terrible public speaker. Lots of “ums” and “uhs” and that annoying laugh of his.
His (or anyone’s) phlegmy smoker’s laugh is what irritates me.
I like Rick but is he the best they could do?
I am astonished at the sort of stuff that is considered valuable on those shows and in real life. For example, a garish and cheaply made Florida landscapeb painting my father bought for twenty bucks in the early sixties to cover a bare wall in his office was recently appraised as worth several thousand because it was by a Florida Highwayman. PBS even ran a documentary about them a few years ago, which led my mother to dig it out of the attic and treat it like a treasured heirloom.
