Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. American Pickers stars Mike Wolfe and Danielle Colby have been keeping busy with other projects amid their hiatus from the show. Newsweek reached out to Wolfe and Colby's representatives via email for comment on Wednesday. The Context American Pickers—a series about collectors in search of antiques—premiered in 2010 and quickly became a History Channel hit. The reality TV show was first led by Wolfe and his childhood friend, Frank Fritz, with Colby working as the office manager at Wolfe's antique store, Antique Archaeology. In 2021, Fritz left the show, and he died in September 2024 due to complications from a stroke. The program has continued with Wolfe's brother, Rob Wolfe.

Morefor Ovation; Gary Miller/FilmMagic What To Know On Monday, Colby—who uses "they" pronouns, according to their Instagram bio—posted an update about their forthcoming burlesque museum, which is set to open on June 21. "We have our T-shirts in finally, we're just getting those up on the website... I love them, they're great," the burlesque dancer, 49, shared in an Instagram video about the Ecdysiast Arts Museum. "We had to order more because immediately people are wanting them, and we're so happy about that." They added that they "have some workshops coming," including a flexibility workshop. "Stay tuned!" According to Merriam-Webster, "ecdysiast" is defined as "stripteaser." Mike Wolfe has been making use of his other talents, too, recently starring in the 2025 film Day of Reckoning. He also renovated a rental property and announced last month that it's ready to book. "Two Lanes Guesthouse is officially open in LeClaire, Iowa! Just steps from the mighty Mississippi River and his flagship @antiquearchaeologystore, this cozy house is nestled in the heart of Mike's hometown," a message posted to Two Lanes Guesthouse's Instagram read on May 16. "It's filled with pieces he's picked all across the country—places with soul, history, and good people. Every item inside has a story, brought together to create a space that feels welcoming, personal, and full of character. It's a stay made for you and all your loved ones—a place to slow down, soak it in, and feel at home." On May 27, the 61-year-old shared an update on the Esso gas station he bought in Columbia, Tennessee. "When I purchased this Esso station in downtown Columbia TN, I knew that I was going to need a company that could match my passion and bring this place to life," Mike Wolfe wrote via his Instagram. "@living_exo absolutely nailed my vision and helped me make this ignored space into a spot where the community can gather and enjoy it for years to come. Thank you, @living_exo, y'all are the best!" In the comments underneath the post, he responded to an Instagram user who asked, "What exactly is it going to be?" "The tenant is [building] out a place called Revival. It will have food and cocktails," the television personality revealed. In March, Mike Wolfe announced a hiatus from American Pickers after feeling "overwhelmed with what I'm doing." "We haven't done that in 15 years, so that's going to feel good. For 15 years, we have just been going and going and going," he told People. "I think we're going to have at least four or five months off, so it's going to be good."

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe branded as unrecognizable as he debuts new look

He's usually spotted scouring barns and backroads for forgotten relics, but American Pickers star Mike Wolfe has now turned heads for a very different reason. The 60-year-old reality TV star looked nearly unrecognizable in a new selfie shared to his Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 8. In the picture, he was seen standing alongside his girlfriend, former Beauty and the Geek contestant Leticia Cline, 46. Wolfe, known for his signature Americana style and keen eye for vintage treasures, rocked a yellow tee, green ball cap, black sunglasses, and a noticeably longer beard. Cline complemented his incognito look with a blue shirt, yellow hat, and a pair of red-orange shades. 'Undercover with @leticiacline,' Wolfe cheekily captioned the snapshot, which was set to The Rolling Stones ' Undercover of the Night. With both wearing hats and sunglasses, the couple looked like they were on a covert mission - potentially involving some antiques. Or perhaps they were just trying to enjoy a low-key day out without getting recognized by fans. The selfie comes weeks after he thrilled fans with a shocking career move: stepping into the world of film. In the upcoming movie Day of Reckoning, Wolfe will star alongside his girlfriend, Cline. The couple reportedly filmed the project earlier this year, marking Wolfe's first major acting role outside of his long-running reality series. Details of the film are still under wraps, but sources say the gritty thriller will show a whole new side of the antique hunter. Wolfe has certainly been keeping busy lately. In addition to launching a business venture in Le Claire, Iowa - rumored to be linked to fellow Pickers star Danielle Colby - he's also announced a brand-new History Channel series called History's Greatest Picks with Mike Wolfe. He also recently wrapped filming for Season 27 of American Pickers. But it's not all good news: as Wolfe recently shared a bittersweet update about the end of an era, announcing the closure of Antique Archaeology in Nashville Tennessee after 15 years. He explained that he wanted to slow down, focus on his family, and give his attention to projects that would 'pull at his soul.' He specified that he wasn't disappearing. 'I'll still be picking, sharing, and selling online and at our original LeClaire, Iowa store,' he said in his Instagram post. 'But I've learned over the years that it's easy to spread yourself too thin, and balance is something we all chase in one way or another.' But if his latest moves are any indication, the road ahead looks anything but dull.

American Pickers star Mike Wolfe gets emotional as he's pictured saying a tearful goodbye

After 14 years, American Pickers star Mike Wolfe is now closing up his Nashville store Antique Archaeology for good. The History Channel star, 60, officially shut down his shop - which boasts vintage items, collectibles, and home decor selected by Wolfe himself - on Sunday. But on Saturday Wolfe met with supporters of the shop as they came out to celebrate the store. Wolfe appeared emotional as he was pictured arriving to the store, dabbing at his eyes, but managed to put a smile on his face once inside the store. The move is bittersweet for the reality star, who is shutting down the store to return to his hometown of LeClaire, Iowa, where the original Antique Archaeology store is based (and will remain in business). It comes as Wolfe prepares for a meaningful filming hiatus on American Pickers, the first time in 15 years. Wolfe reflected on the moment in a post shared by both himself and his store's Instagram page, and shared photos of patrons gathered at the store. He admitted he was 'overwhelmed' by the turnout. 'Mike and the crew were totally overwhelmed and beyond grateful for yesterday's turn out @antiquearchaeology In Nashville TN,' he captioned the post. 'Y'all came out in a big way to share stories and say so long to this little shop. Today is the last day we will be open we will be breaking down the shop tomorrow and moving most all of it to @visitleclaire IOWA. 'If you haven't already stop by to say hello and grab something WELL Come on! This isn't goodbye it's see you down the road In IOWA and online.' Wolfe will now be shifting gears to his hometown in Iowa. The star's friends, family, and mother, 81, reside there - as does his store and old buildings he plans on revitalizing. 'Everything I've ever known is there,' he told The Tennessean. 'I want to drive on roads I've driven on my whole life. I want to be around things that are familiar. And I want to be back there more with my little girl and with my mom.' Wolfe revealed the store's closure earlier this month with a heartfelt Facebook message where he promised fans the closure was not a sign he was 'disappearing.' 'Well, Nashville… it's time,' he began. 'After nearly 15 amazing years, we've made the tough decision to close the doors of our Antique Archaeology store here in Music City. This place has meant the world to me — not just the brick and mortar, but the people. The community. The visitors from all over the world who came through those doors, shared their stories, and reminded me every day why I started this journey in the first place. 'I've been so proud to be a part of this neighborhood, this city, and this chapter of life. But sometimes, even when something is good, you have to pause and ask yourself where your time is going — and where your heart is calling you next. 'For me, that's family. It's slowing down a little, staying rooted, and focusing on the new projects that are pulling at my soul. I'm not disappearing — not even close. I'll still be picking, sharing, and selling online and at our original LeClaire, Iowa store. But I've learned over the years that it's easy to spread yourself too thin, and balance is something we all chase in one way or another. 'This isn't goodbye — it's just a new rhythm. I'll forever be grateful for every moment in that Nashville space, and for all of you who made it more than just a shop. You made it home.' Mike found fame after American Pickers debuted in 2010 and became one of the History Channel's most popular programs. The series saw the star and his late friend Frank Fritz traveling across the U.S. in search of rare Americana artifacts and national treasures to add to their collections or sell in their antique shops. Frank eventually departed the series in 2020 to undergo back surgery, and then he suffered a stroke in 2022 as a result of cerebral vascular disease. He never fully recovered from his health woes and it was revealed that Frank died on September 30 last year at 60 years of age. However, fans were delighted to learn that Mike and his pal had patched up their differences in 2022. After Frank passed, Mike noted that he 'felt blessed' to be by his side as he 'took one last journey home.' He wrote on Instagram at the time: 'It's with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night.' He recalled about his dear friend: 'I've know Frank for more then half my life and what you've seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny. The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so many by just being himself.' Elsewhere in the heartfelt post, he added, 'Who would have ever dreamed we would share the cockpit of a white cargo van in front of millions of people interested in our adventures. 'Before the show we would take off together to places we never knew existed with no destination in mind and just the shared passion to discover something interesting and historic.' 'We've been on countless trips and shared so many miles and I feel blessed that I was there by his side when he took one last journey home. I love you buddy and will miss you so much. I know you're in a better place.'
