Is rick and chum off the show pawn stars kin ?

Rick Harrison and Austin "Chumlee" Russell are not related. Chumlee was childhood friends with Richard Corey Harrison, Rick's son.

Chumlee worked at the shop for 5 years before Pawn Stars was released. He is often considered to be the employee with the lowest intelligence, even being jokingly referred to as the "village idiot".

Since the show became famous, Rick, Richard, Corey and Chumlee no longer work in the store. They only appear when cameras are filming.

In October 2012, Pawn Stars was renewed for 80 episodes. That's the largest reality TV show contract in history.
