Pawn Stars is viewed by 8 million people every week, in over 135 different countries around the world. To date, Murray has filmed 7 episodes and 4 of the episodes are in the shows current rotation. Since Pawn Stars is on cable, one of Murray’s episodes is probably airing right now somewhere in the world.

Because of Murray’s close relationship with the Pawn Stars, Murray has brokered a deal to be the exclusive show in Las Vegas that can have promotional material at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, where they film the hit TV show.
