About Corey

Corey Harrison has almost 20 years and around 800 episodes of television under his belt — from the original Pawn Stars to Pawn Stars Do America, and even the game show Pawnography. He spent years helping bring history to life for millions of viewers, but after all that time on camera, he hit a wall.

Burnt out. Burned up. Done telling everyone else’s stories.

So he packed what he could, sold what he didn’t need, and moved to Tulum.

After taking a full year off — no cameras, no schedules, no noise — he realized:

“I’ve gotta get off my ass and do something.”

People had been telling him to start a podcast for years. He just never knew exactly what it should be — until he stopped guessing and just asked the fans.
What do you want to hear?

The Corey Harrison Show is built on that — real questions from real people. Sometimes it’s heavy. Sometimes it’s hilarious. It always hits.

The show often features Corey’s longtime friend and unofficial sidekick, Valente — though ever since they met in Tulum, Corey’s been calling him Valentino. He never corrected it, so that’s what it is.

Napoleon Dynamite had Pedro. Corey has Valentino.

From Vegas to Tulum, history to hustle, Corey’s back — unfiltered, unscripted, and finally on his own terms.

Corey Harrison - Host

Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison is best known from Pawn Stars, the Las Vegas reality series that made him a familiar face to millions around the world. But Corey’s life is bigger than pawn counters and TV sets. Raised in Vegas with grit and edge, he’s seen the extremes of fame, business, and personal struggle — and came out sharper, tougher, and more outspoken.

Burnt out. Burned up. Done telling everyone else’s stories.

Now based in Tulum, Mexico, Corey created The Corey Harrison Show as his platform to speak without filters or networks in the way. Part outlaw preacher, part storyteller, part straight shooter, Corey brings his mix of sharp humor and raw truth to conversations that pull no punches. For him, this isn’t just a podcast — it’s a stage to tell the stories nobody else will and to bring voices into the spotlight that don’t usually get heard.

Valentino – Co-Host

Valentino has lived on both sides of the border. Born in Mexico City, he spent time in the U.S. before deciding more than 20 years ago to self-deport back to Mexico. For him, it wasn’t about leaving America — it was about returning home, putting family first, and building a life where his roots ran deepest. One day he may return to the States, but for now he’s committed to living fully in Mexico until the world feels a little less upside-down.

He met Corey about four years ago, when Corey was in Tulum on vacation. Corey has a habit of finding “his guy” in every country he visits, and in Mexico that guy turned out to be Valentino. What started casual turned into a fast friendship, and by September 2024 the two had grown into brothers, building trust and loyalty into something more — a partnership.

Corey didn’t even know Valentino’s real first name — Valente — until about six months ago. Raised to think it was rude to correct someone, Val just rolled with it, letting Corey’s nickname stick. That small story says a lot about him: respectful, grounded, and focused more on connection than formality.

Now as co-host of The Corey Harrison Show, Valentino calls himself the “brown brother” of the crew — the one asking blunt questions and keeping the conversation sharp and real. He lives by the old line, “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get,” and he values that Corey has a way of explaining things that makes complicated truths land in a way he can carry. For Val, it all comes down to loyalty, family, and being remembered as a good friend.
