For example, on a recent episode you shut down work one day instead of risking the safety of your crew. Hidden Remote: You seem to be growing a bit into your management style this season. Gene had as much experience than all of us put together. That was the biggest challenge we had to overcome. Gene left and went to go work for Tony, I was a little nervous without the voice of reason and without someone who has many years of experience. Parker Schnabel: The biggest difference has been that we don’t have a voice of experience on site. How would you say this season has been different than previous seasons? Seems like things have been going well for you and your team this year so far. Just give me a little time, and I’ll get there. Parker Schnabel: I’m working on growing my hair so I can slick it back like his. Maybe the two of you should be on SNL or something. I saw a picture of you and thought of it, and then looked it up on Twitter and people are definitely talking about the comparison between you and actor Adam Driver. You’re the third reporter I’ve talked to today who’s said that. Parker Schnabel: Kylo Ren from Star Wars. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone? Hidden Remote: I have to ask kind of a funny question right off the bat that has nothing to do with Gold Rush. I’m used to living in the woods and hunting deer. I’m a small town kid from Alaska, this is a whole big culture shock for me. Parker Schnabel: It’s pretty crazy how bi it all has gotten and stayed. Hidden Remote: Thanks for talking to me! You and I talked a few months back, before the Season 6 premiere, and the show is continuing to do extremely well, so congrats on that! Leading up to the Gold Rush Season 6 finale, we chatted with Parker about his management style, his thirst for competition, and his striking resemblance to a pop-culture icon. In the big lead up to the Gold Rush Season 6 finale, the question on viewers minds is if young Parker can once again best his rivals – Todd Hoffman and Tony Beets.

This year, Parker has continued to head up his own crew and has been learning lessons about management and strategy along the way. During Season 5, Parker worked his crew to the bone and enjoyed a massive haul of gold – over 2.5 million dollars worth. Now, he’s 21 years old and is running a crew of his own.

Once an energetic teen learning about the business from his father and grandfather, Parker has grown up on TV in front of our eyes. Parker Schnabel has been featured on Gold Rush since he was fifteen years old. These ratings are due in no small part to the charismatic and fascinating group of men (and occasionally women) that the show follows. Six seasons in, and it continues to be the highest rated show on the network. Gold Rush has certainly brought in a bounty of ratings for the Discovery Channel.
