I haven’t watched that show in quite a while, but he was always a hoot. RIP, Old Man.

RIP, Richard. ☹

An English buddy of mine back in Bangkok is a fan of the show. A few years ago, he took his Thai girlfriend (now his wife) on a road trip in the US, with Las Vegas on the itinerary. They stopped in at the pawn shop. He was disappointed. No one from the show was working behind the counters, but there was a huge rack of T-shirts for sale.
