When did Danielle Colby join the cast of 'American Pickers'?

Danielle has been a part of 'American Pickers' since the year 2010.

While having a January 2019 conversation with Freshly Inked, Colby talked about how she landed her 'American Pickers' gig.

She mentioned how Mike came up with the idea of having her on the show and told the media outlet, "I believe he came up with the idea because none of us believed his crazy stories."

Danielle went on to say, "He would come back from a pick, two weeks on the road; he would have all these crazy stories about the people he ran into and the places he stayed. He had to film it to prove it to us. That actually worked out pretty well for him, didn’t it?"

On December 12, Colby took to her Instagram page and shared her medical diagnosis. 

The 48-year-old star shared, "Ok, let me explain…. Today is the big day. I’ve been experiencing incredible pain through my face, jaw, ear, neck, arm and hand on my right side. A severe case of Trigeminal neuralgia is the diagnosis and a tumor in my face is the culprit."

Danielle added, "The last month has been excruciating but today I get my surgery to release me from this hell that visits in crashing waves of pain. After my surgery I will be posting my progress on my p a t r e o n. Have you ever heard of or experienced trigeminal neuralgia?"

She inserted a definition from the Mayo Clinic that read, “Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. This chronic pain condition affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face — such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup — may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain."

The History star concluded, "You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more-frequent bouts of searing pain. Trigeminal neuralgia affects women more often than men, and it's more likely to occur in people who are older than 50.”
