Saying Yes
Mike Wolfe had already been picking peoples’ attics and garage sales for over twenty years when the History Channel offered him his own show.
Saying Yes
Mike asked Danielle if she would like to work as the manager at his antiques store and be on TV, and she obviously said yes. Danielle knew Mike and what kind of guy he is, so she felt completely comfortable to go along with his offer.
The Beginnings
Mike was actually a Youtube sensation before his show American Pickers started. He had someone film him as he went to different people around the midwest in order to pick their antiques that were sitting in the garages, basements, and attics.
The Beginnings
Mike sent the videos to various TV stations, but the History Channel eventually picked it up. The channel enjoyed the items he picked and the way that Mike interacted with people.
