ABOUT TENACIOUS D: Many would associate Tenacious D as the comedy Rock band comprised of big-time film actor Jack Black and fellow guitarist Kyle Gass. But their song writing and live shows would have you thinking this is all they do. They became one of the biggest cult bands of the late 90s and 2000s. Their sheer charisma, humor and energy, as well as inspired songwriting, took the duo from L.A.’s underground comedy scene to their own series on HBO and major label album deals. Their latest album, Rize of the Fenix, is currently available in stores as well as on digital platforms.

ABOUT COREY: Corey Harrison began working at the pawn shop when he was 9. Expertly trained in the art of appraisal, Corey not only has the brains to spot a cheat, he has the brawn to back it up. He is not afraid to throw his muscle around, especially when it comes to protecting his family. He also handles everything when it comes to hiring and firing employees and managing eBay clients. His father, Rick believes that Corey, who is oftentimes treated like a slave, needs to earn his keep. Without a real stake in the business, Corey is hoping that all his hard work pays off.
ABOUT CHUMLEE: As Corey’s devoted childhood friend, Chumlee is just like a son to Corey’s father Rick and he’s been around the shop since he was a kid. Everybody loves Chum, but he is often the butt of the boys’ jokes. Part of the reason he isn’t taken seriously is that he constantly begs Corey to buy items that entertain him, like video games and circus paraphernalia, that usually don’t make good business sense. And, although his heart of gold makes him a pro at customer service, it’s continually proven to be bad business for the shop. Chumlee always wants to give his patrons the best deal and often takes their side, a triat that never fails to push Rick’s button. Where did Chumlee get his nickname? Friends in elementary school took the name from cartoon character Tennessee Tuxedo’s sidekick, a walrus named Chumley.
