Pawn Stars Will Film In Tampa & St Pete

Author Geno
Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison, Rick Harrison and Austin "Chumlee" Russell from History's "Pawn Stars" television series appear before a Gold and Silver Road Show at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

If you’re a fan of Pawn Stars, keep an eye out. Rick, Corey and Chumlee are hitting the road and both Tampa and St. Petersburg are on the itinerary. A post this week on social media from The History Channel let fans know that “Pawn Stars Do America” is traveling around the country. And they’re looking to buy your stuff.

We don’t know where specifically they’ll be shooting yet, but the footage shot here in Tampa and St. Pete will be used on Season 2 of the show. Other stops will be in Albequerque, Ann Arbor, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Lexington, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Salem (a Halloween episode maybe?), and Santa Fe.

If you’ve got an item to sell and would like to be on the show, they ask you to email [email protected]. You need to be at least 18 years old.

8 Times Rock Stars Appeared in TV Commercials

  • Paul Stanley - Folgers Coffee

    For reasons that haven’t been confirmed, the ad from 2000 never aired, but thanks to the wonder that is YouTube, it surfaced, and we’re thankful it did. Frankly, it’s an effective ad, and never has anyone performed the famous Folgers tagline jingle with such gusto!

  • Slash - Capital One Banking

    This Capital One Banking ad featuring Slash premiered in July 2022.

    The ad shows a band holding auditions for a new guitarist, and loe and behold, Slash shows up. Viewers see Slash — top hat and all — performing his iconic opening riff to the Guns N’ Roses classic “Sweet Child O’ Mine” while other potential guitarists look on in horror knowing they will not be picked to be in the band.

    The ad’s description on YouTube reads, “With no monthly fees or minimums and no overdraft fees, banking with Capital One is the easiest decision in the history of decisions. Even easier than choosing Slash to be in your band.”

    A few seconds into his “audition,” a member of the band then tells Slash, “Stop. You’re in,” and the guitar god responds, “Oh, cool!” with a smile.

  • Vince Neil - Dollar Loan Center

    Vince Neil appeared in an ad for short-term loan provider Dollar Loan Center in May 2022. The ad is rather baffling for a number of reasons, from how Neil even got involved to the fact the ad is centered around Dollar Loan Center’s “Loan Approval Machine,” which happens to evoke The Cult’s classic tune “Love Removal Machine.” Whether that latter statement was the point of whoever came up with the ad’s concept, it makes casting Neil in the ad all the more confusing because…well…The Cult and Motley Crue are two very different bands.

  • Steven Tyler - Kia Stinger

    This Super Bowl ad took Steven Tyler back in time thanks to the Kia Stinger.

  • Eddie Money - Geico

    Who could forget Money as the best worst travel agent in this Geico campaign?

  • Lita Ford - Indeed.com

    She’s barely recognizable, but that conservatively dressed music teacher is Lita Ford in an ad for job site Indeed!  Amazing the difference a pair of horn-rimmed glasses, a bun and a floor-length skirt makes!

  • Alice Cooper - Staples

    The Godfather of Shock Rock appears in this Staples ad to clarify the lyrics to “School’s Out” to a very annoyed young girl who is clearly not looking forward to going back to school.

  • John Lydon - Country Life Butter

    Appearing in a commercial seems like the most un-punk thing to do ever, but that’s what John Lydon did in the late 2000’s when he appeared in an ad for Country Life Butter.  He would later say he used the money earned from the ad to fund a tour for Public Image Ltd., because he was having various issues with his record label.
