Early Life
On December 3, 1975, Danielle Colby was born in Davenport, Iowa. Sue, her mother, was in the 2012 episode “Mama Knows Best” and the 2013 episode “Sgt. Picker's Lonely Hearts Club” of “American Pickers” (2016). Danielle was raised as a Jehovah's Witness in “a very loving but strict household.”
She has two sisters: Ann, who is younger, and Tara, who is older. Ann's stage name is “Carbomb Betty,” and she and Danielle have both been in the show “Burlesque Le' Moustache.”
Career
When Danielle's family lived in Chicago, she went to a burlesque show with Margaret Cho, an actress and comedian, and Satan's Angel, a dancer. The show made her want to become a burlesque dancer. When her family moved to Iowa, Colby made a show called Burlesque Le' Moustache, which went on tour in Iowa and Illinois. She later opened a dance school in Chicago called Dannie Diesel's Bump ‘n' Grind Academy.
Mike Wolfe, a longtime friend of Danielle's, asked her to work at the Antique Archaeology office so she could be on the new reality show “American Pickers.” This was in 2010. Wolfe said this about why he chose to have Colby on the show: “I wanted someone who didn't look like they would work in an antique shop because I wanted people to look at our show in a different way. I wanted people to look at antiques as if they were fun, cool, killer, or awesome.”
As of this writing, the show has had more than 300 episodes over 22 seasons. When it started, it was the most popular new non-fiction show of 2010. Danielle said the following about the series: “My work on “American Pickers” shows how much I love history in real life. The story is what makes it beautiful. Without a back story, vintage isn't very interesting.
From our past, we can learn how to help people in the present and in the future. This is the mindset that keeps me looking for answers and backstories that will help nourish the human spirit and sometimes let us sit in quiet reflection on the darker parts of history.
We tend to forget or hide away the bad parts of ourselves. My goal is to show all sides of history, lay them out for you, the viewer, and give you the chance to get involved in history yourself.”
