American Pickers Star Danielle Colby Called Out Rumors She’d Died And Had A Sassy Response To Her Death Hoax

American Pickers Star Danielle Colby Called Out Rumors She'd Died And Had A Sassy Response To Her Death Hoax

As a long-time gamer and Internet denizen who has witnessed countless celebrity death hoaxes, I can attest that they are indeed a peculiar phenomenon. While it’s easier to understand why such rumors might circulate about seasoned celebrities like Chuck Norris, it’s downright bizarre when they target relative newcomers like Danielle Colby at only 48 years of age.


Hoaxes about celebrities dying are surprisingly frequent in Hollywood. These false reports often affect people who are more mature. For instance, I’ve come across numerous instances where Chuck Norris was rumored to have passed away, but these stories were eventually debunked. Given that he is 84, it’s understandable how some individuals might be tricked by such claims. Conversely, Danielle Colby, a star on the show “American Pickers,” recently became a victim of one of these death hoaxes at just 48 years old. However, she retaliated with a witty comeback.

Although it’s been announced that new episodes of Pickers will air on TV in October 2024, there’s a popular misunderstanding on social media that the show’s longtime organizer and well-known burlesque dancer has passed away. This confusion stems from misleading posts suggesting “tragic news” or “heavy heart” statements, which lead to clickbait when clicked.

Colby responded to multiple posts, clarifying that she’s very much alive. Her witty remarks added a playful tone to the situation.

Just as Mark Twain once said, she seems to share the same sentiment about wanting people to remember her not from a random moment on American Pickers, but rather from captivating and endearing photos. Could it be too much to ask for a more flattering image instead?

As a seasoned observer of the entertainment world and having closely followed Danielle Colby’s career over the years, I have to say that it’s fascinating how much of her public image is shaped by footage from her phone conversations on the History Channel series. While I don’t condone spreading false rumors like the death hoax that circulated in the past, it’s undeniable that Danielle has a unique and engaging personality that shines through even during seemingly mundane activities like talking on the phone. It’s this charm and charisma that have made her such a beloved figure in the reality TV world. From my perspective as someone who appreciates authenticity and individuality, I can’t help but admire Danielle for being true to herself and creating a space for others to do the same.

In the world of being a reality star, one of the most irritating online occurrences is likely dealing with death hoaxes. It seems even well-known figures like Henry Cavill, Tim Allen, and Ryan Reynolds have experienced this. For instance, when Cavill learned about his death hoax, he had a humorous reaction. Similarly, Allen jokingly expressed eagerness to learn how he died in response to a similar situation. Reynolds, famously, even turned Mark Twain’s “greatly exaggerated” quote on its head when dealing with his own demise rumors.

In the end, the Internet can often seem like an illusion filled with deception, and it’s not only death hoaxes that have been a topic of discussion for shows like American Pickers. There has been speculation swirling about its potential cancellation, among other things. Furthermore, there are reports of behind-the-scenes tension between Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz. A rumor regarding someone’s departure from this world merely adds to the intrigue, but at least Colby handled the situation with a touch of humor.
