In this episode of Pawn After Dark, we welcome the iconic "Beard of Knowledge" himself, Mark Hall-Patton. As the original expert featured in the very first episode of Pawn Stars, Mark quickly became a beloved fixture on the History Channel series. Known for his encyclopedic knowledge and unmistakable appearance, he’s provided invaluable insights into countless historical artifacts throughout the show's run.

Mark talks about his journey from a passionate history enthusiast to the administrator of the Clark County Museum system to becoming a fan favorite on TV. We get into some behind-the-scenes moments from Pawn Stars, why he’s the only expert who never gives a value on items, and what it’s like being recognized everywhere he goes (beard first, of course).

If you’re into history, quirky collectibles, or just love a great story, you won’t want to miss this one. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and take a trip through time with one of the most fascinating guys in the game—MHP!
