Before Miss Cleo, the Psychic Readers Network used Miami Vice's Philip Michael Thomas and Fear City star Billy Dee Williams as spokespersons.

While their biggest competitor, the Psychic Friends Network, employed the spokesperson services of Phyllis Diller, Rip Taylor, Vicki Lawrence, Robin Leach, and most notably, Diane Warwick, who came to be known for her Psychic Friends commercials almost as much as her legendary singing career.

And those are just the celebs who advocated for the two biggest companies during the fad, as there were plenty of other smaller services also getting in on the craze.

For example, one of the lesser remembered services of the late '90s was one where callers were invited to get guided tarot readings from actual witches of Salem.
Randy SavageSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But I did it! For them! Yeah, I am the World Wrestling Federation and lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Randy SavageSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah, we toasted with champagne glasses, yeah, and beat Robin Leach at his own game.
Randy SavageSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But that's what the Macho King is all about, buying the assets of the other person.
Randy SavageSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Don't underestimate the competition, but then beat him and beat him

Veida HornHOST
These girls are so young and I think that one day they're gonna wake up and be like, what the F was I thinking? because they see all this and you know, part of it, let's circle back to influencing, right? They see all this stuff and it's constantly in their face.
Veida HornHOST
Like when we were younger, like what you got, you looked at Cribs and like, what was that show? Robin Leach, like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
Veida HornHOST
Like that was your access to wealth, right? If you lived in some small town, you had a couple of TV shows and a monthly magazine subscription, right? So like Vogue would come in the mail and then it would be 30 days before you saw it again, right? Now it's 24-7 in their face and they want these things and they think it's normal to have these things, but it's not normal to have these things.
Veida HornHOST
It's not normal to have 10 Birkins.

Matt CarpenterGUEST
Like you said, it was like a whole 'nother level, the logistics.
Matt CarpenterGUEST
And to go with these places and run up, like, Mount Kenya and stay at the Mount Kenya Safari Inn, like that's Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
Matt CarpenterGUEST
And just some of these things, there would be a helicopter, like you mentioned, coming right next to you, and then you'd feel it from the blade.
Matt CarpenterGUEST
And it was like, "My goodness, this, this is a whole 'nother, whole 'nother level," and kind of fitting for what they're...
Joe VargasGUEST
And it was all, that's what it was like.
Joe VargasGUEST
And, um, I became a journalist and I got close to Robin Leach before he passed away because he was a journalist for the newspaper here.
Joe VargasGUEST
And he kind of validated my position of being an independent journalist.
Joe VargasGUEST
i was just a guy that would i i'm a writer i'm i you know i'm an author as well i wrote a book in 2014. um but i just started a website and i started talking about all this and and the the congo what is that word of all the people within the industry moving up all those years, you're basically, you know, you have friends here that was like a buster or a promoter and now he's a manager.
Joe VargasGUEST
And then the news gets on there and said devaluing me and basically saying I didn't know what I was talking about because no one was supposed to know that this person was here to possibly buy the hotel.
Joe VargasGUEST
And but it just kept happening.
Joe VargasGUEST
And then Robin Leach, he was such a, he's a legend in itself.
Joe VargasGUEST
Yeah, I remember him.
