HISTORY Channel’s American Pickers will continue airing on the network for its 26th season.
The show’s cast travels around the United States in search of rare artifacts and special treasures they can purchase from collectors and resell in their antique shops.
Who is in the cast of American Pickers?
Mike Wolfe
Mike Wolfe is the creator of American Pickers.
The TV show’s star prides himself in curating treasures tied to U.S. history and preserving ancient artifacts from previous generations.
His specialty shops, which sell vintage items, have become top tourist destinations in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee.
Mike runs an antiques website called Antique Archaeology where fans of the show can shop online for merchandise designed by him.
He also runs a blog on the site and takes submissions from people who may want to give up their antiques.
Danielle Colby is the shop manager of the stores in Iowa and Tennessee.
According to her History Channel Bio, she spends her free time in Puerto Rico and volunteers to rebuild the island, help orphanages, and assist animal shelters.
Danielle had reportedly been friends with Wolfe years before the show was even a concept and was asked by him to join the cast once it was created.
However, she hinted at possibly leaving the show in a 2012 interview that, “one never knows what will happen in the future.”
“I highly doubt that Antique Archaeology is the last job I’ll ever have in my life, though it is definitely the coolest job I’ve had to date.
“It all depends on when my time there has run its course. I have an obligation to Mike who put me in the position I’m in right now, and I’ll respect that ’til the end.
“My plan is just to stick around and see what happens. But I have a contract, and I’ll of course honor that contract. I guess that’s a sugar-coated way of saying I’d love a spin-off.”
Danielle is still listed as a cast member and is part of season 25.
Robbie Wolfe
Robbie Wolfe is an antique collector who stars on American Pickers.
According to his History Channel Bio, he has been searching for “unknown treasures” in garages and old barns since the age of eight.
“His life’s passion focuses on the fact that ‘people throw away untold history every day’ and he finds ‘joy in restoring what once was a part of someone else’s life story.'”
Robbie has accumulated “a wide collection of old Americana, vintage cars, and advertising memorabilia” throughout the years.
