How did Corey from Pawn Stars get the name Big Hoss?

Answer 1

Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison received his nickname from his father, Rick Harrison, who is also a cast member on the reality TV show Pawn Stars. The nickname "Big Hoss" is a play on the term "Boss," reflecting Corey's role as the general manager of the family's pawn shop. It is a combination of his physical stature and his authoritative position within the business.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, Corey from Pawn Stars got the nickname Big Hoss because his dad, Rick, thought it would be funny to give him a nickname that sounds like a wrestler's stage name. It's like when your dad tries to be cool by giving you a nickname that you secretly hate but have to pretend to like because, well, he's your dad. So yeah, Big Hoss stuck, and now he's known as the big guy on the show.

Answer 3

I think that Rick, Corey's father, watched Bonanza on tv in which the son of Lorne Greene was Big Hoss. That is where the nickname came from. Big Hoss is really Richard Harrison III!
