According to skeptical writerSusan Gerbic, the show is deceptively edited to create the impression that John's guests were chosen entirely at random. Gerbic said her own investigation revealed that guests were all local Los Angeles actors whose personal information was on file or easily accessed by the show's producers, allowing John to use a form ofhot reading to claim intimate knowledge of the guest was obtained via contact with the dead.^[1][13]
