What Happened To Frank On American Pickers?

Since it first hit the air in January 2010, American Pickers has enthralled millions of viewers with its memorabilia treasure hunts. The show tags along with Frank Fritz, Mike Wolfe, and Danielle Cosby as they sniff out great (and some not so great) bargains hiding under the dust in people's sheds, garages, and homes.

When the newest season aired, however, Mike and Danielle were all smiled for the camera -- but Frank was nowhere to be seen. So what happened to this longtime host and fan favorite? Will he be coming back to the show, or is his tenure up? Here's what really happened to Frank on American Pickers.

Do you miss seeing Frank on "American Pickers"?

Sounds like Frank has a lot going on (Crohn's disease, back surgery, selling his and his ex-fiancee's house), which explains him not being on the show. Hope he comes back. Mike and his brother Robbie have good camaraderie, but Robbie doesn't have Frank's charisma.

Mr.Fritz we all know you are having health issues, we still miss you and hope you come back. Please take care of yourself. 🙏🏻👍

I am glad to see kind words about Frank here. I have had back issues and know what it’s like to experience the ungodly pain that goes with it. When you don’t feel well sometimes you say things that can hurt others, particularly the ones who you care about and I’ve. I hope he gets better.

Frank needs to come back soon. Not saying anything bad about Mike's brother but Frank has the charisma. His brother is a bit stiff. Probably a nice guy but stiff

[joesmith]

Frank had back surgery because he was carrying the show on his back... Dude is Goat hope he gets well soon

[ladybirdadams]

I will not watch this show again. Mike is a trader..a loser..not a true friend to Mr. Fritz.
I had someone do that to me as an adult. It hurt and it still hurts. I wish Frank so much love and good things in his future..he deserves it.
Nope...not watching the show again...will find something MUCH better to entertain me!!

Hello guys want to take a hollow out to Frank I love the show I hate that we get older certain things start to happening to our body I've been watching you guys a long time so right now it doesn't matter what's wrong with Frank but I'm just asking God to Healing from the top of his head to the sole of his feet bless him and bless his family and we hope the same soon I'll send a comment the rest of you guys but I have to do this first but remember there's people out here they just love you guys for real

[julesuknow]

I hope Frank starts his own show I no longer watch American pickers at all but if Frank starts his own show I will be dedicated to watch that show I miss Frank and hope he is doing well

[peterflorino]

It’s simple. Frank is a big reason people watch the show. Of course Mike is the main guy but he needs Frank to keep show interesting. His brother is ok on occasion. New Jersey is not really needed, and the lady is good in a part time tole. But none of these people can carry the show on a daily basis. If they think they can replace Frank they are wrong. Frank is huge part of the shows appeal. Personally I have stopped watching it recently when I realized Frank wouldn’t be on. GET HIM BACK SOON!!!

[brewerrichard]

Frank, Danny and Mike are all family and the need to learn to take the good with the bad. We all can't be on top all of the time. Bring Frank back and be a family again.

It doesn't really matter if he's hosting a show with Mike Wolfe or not. He needs his own show, I really like Frank. Make your own show c'mon

[grandpar]

Hope Frank comes back soon . Mike giving his brother a job is not helping the show .

[Mrttansamman]

I really like frank and Mike as they go back and forth. They know what stuff is worth and I hope they can get back soon. It's like batman and Robin.

Last seen in his favorite bar at Sturgis biker week.

Oh okay, your source comes from a Facebook comment… I’m sure that random guy knows exactly what he’s talking about 😒

[adamaydanchannel]

Mike, Frank, Dani D and Robbie are American Pickers..
Greetings from Malaysia

This whole thing with Mike's brother reminds me of Jerry O'Connell's brother on Sliders.

[monstersponge]

Well, as we learned this morning, what happens in the dark, comes out in the light. What a shame Mike and Frank had a falling out.

[davidmelton]

There you go folks. I’ve been in broadcasting for a long time. That’s exactly how to kill a show. I give it 1 maybe 2 more seasons at best. Good day.
