“Pawn Stars” boss Rick Harrison is recovering after undergoing emergency bypass surgery.
According to TMZ, 61-year-old Harrison was released from the hospital on Tuesday and is currently recovering at home.
“By all accounts, he’s now doing great,” a family spokesperson told the outlet.
Harrison showed up at the hospital last week to undergo a much “simpler” operation — what was expected to be a routine stent procedure — but doctors discovered a more serious issue, and determined the “Pawn Stars” star required emergency bypass instead.
“He is resting comfortably and looking forward to a full recovery,” a spokesperson told People on Friday. “He is grateful for the doctors and staff at the hospital and that his wife and family can be with him during this time.”
Harrison married his wife, Agripina “Angie” Polushkin, back in January after two years of dating. It is his fifth marriage. He has starred on “Pawn Stars” since it began airing on the History Channel back in 2009.
It follows his life as the owner of the family-run Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. His son Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison, and Corey’s childhood friend Austin “Chumlee” Russell are also fixtures on the show. Harrison’s late father, Richard “The Old Man” Harrison, similarly appeared throughout the series prior to his death.
With more than 675 episodes, the show is currently in its 24th season, which premiered back in January.
