Miss Cleo's Psychic commercials

[Hawkee]

One of the most popular commercial icons of the 90's and early 2000's was the late psychic Miss Cleo and next to Dionne Warwick's Psychic Friends Network Miss Cleo was the second popular star in psychics and started making her mark in commercials beginning in 1999. I really don't know how on earth Miss Cleo got so famous but her commercials were odd and sometimes really surprising but she sure got famous in commercials but I think due to the commercials Miss Cleo hoped to make a name for herself by maybe launching her own talk show and others but I never figured out why these commercials were so huge

I never figured out why or how the late Miss Cleo got famous from these commercials? But what I think she was aiming at was to be a successful psychic much like Dionne Warwick did with the Psychic Friends Network and every time I would see these commercials I thought they were odd. But Miss Cleo turned herself into a celebrity in the 2000's but did her psychic tellings actually work for people who called to get a reading from her?
