While she doesn’t appear to be leaving anything soon, she said in a 2012 interview with the Miami New Times that “one never knows what will happen in the future.”
“I highly doubt that Antique Archaeology is the last job I’ll ever have in my life, though it is definitely the coolest job I’ve had to date,” she said at the time.
“It all depends on when my time there has run its course. I have an obligation to Mike who put me in the position I’m in right now, and I’ll respect that ’til the end.
“My plan is just to stick around and see what happens. But I have a contract, and I’ll of course honor that contract. I guess that’s a sugar-coated way of saying I’d love a spin-off.”

What is American Pickers?
American Pickers is a popular show on History that follows Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz as they “scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages, and barns.”
They also meet “quirky characters” and hear “amazing stories” along the way.
While the show has been relatively drama-free in the past, fans were shaken up in March 2020 after Frank disappeared from the show.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, he explained that he did not leave the show, and claimed that he was eager to return to the cast.
“I would like to come back to the show. I was doing it for 11 years. I’m 100 percent recovered now and I’m ready to roll and go back on the show,” he said at the time.
However, Frank went on to claim that the network wouldn’t give him a straight answer about returning, as he continued: “They talk out of both sides of their mouth. It would be like me telling you I want to go back on the show and then tomorrow going, ‘I never said that, I never said anything about that.’
“The showrunner called me on my birthday on October 11 of last year and he said ‘I’ll call you back tomorrow,’ but I haven’t heard from those people at all. They don’t contact me.”
Frank was later replaced with Mike’s brother Robbie, which was a decision that fans have had mixed feelings on.
