John Calipari's episode of Pawn Stars with Jimmy's Kentucky Roadshow airs tonight
Have plans tonight? Cancel them and turn the dial over to History Channel’s Pawn Stars Do America at 8 p.m. ET.
Why? Kentucky head coach John Calipari will be featured on the show alongside Jimmy Mahan’s Kentucky Roadshow Shop in Lexington — a local must-see for any member of Big Blue Nation.
Chumlee was in town with Coach Cal and Jimmy back in June to see the half card shop, half UK basketball museum, taping the episode ahead of Season 2 of the show.
“Pretty awesome morning at the shop!!” Mahan wrote. “(Pawn Stars) filmed and we had Chum and (John Calipari) in talking Kentucky! That was a true blast! #PawnStarsDoAmerica”
Now, that episode is set to premiere Wednesday evening on History Channel.
“Welp, here we go!” Mahan said. “(Today) at 8pm we appear on (Pawn Stars) in the Kentucky Roadshow Shop and talk about the (Kentucky basketball) team, history and collecting with (John Calipari) and Chum! I haven’t seen any preview and have no idea if I mess up but it was a great life experience!”
After filming the episode, Chumlee stuck around the shop to open a few packs of cards and soak in the experience during his trip to Lexington.
“It was a blast of a day!” Mahan added.
Pawn Stars knows a good collection of historic memorabilia when it sees one, and you won’t find a better one in Kentucky. Jimmy’s Kentucky Roadshow Shop, located on Romany Road in Chevy Chase, is the biggest and most impressive collection of Kentucky basketball collectibles anywhere. Signed jerseys, sneakers, game-worn gear, photos and art — you name it, it’s in there.
Heck, the original baseline from Rupp Arena is the floor of the shop right when you walk through the doors.
Awesome place, even better people getting the national publicity they deserve.
Make sure you tune in tonight, BBN.
