This became an epic fail so legendary it actually became a real life meme - "to pull a Cliff Clavin" became ''Jeopardy'' slang for blowing a certain win out of sheer stupidity.

By the end of the night, Cliff's amassed a whopping $22000, so the only thing that could go wrong is if he screw up massively somehow... then the final clue comes along; "Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille [=LeSuer=]."

"What is... Cliff Clavin?" is the fourteenth episode of the eighth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
''Jeopardy!'' is coming to Boston for a special taping, and Cliff Clavin, inane trivia expert and extreme Jeopardy fan, is eager to sign up, figuring he's got a good chance of getting on the show. Sure enough, Cliff does manage to get on the show. As luck would have it, the topics are all things Cliff actually is an expert on - bar trivia, movies, mailmen and celibacy.
By the end of the night, Cliff's amassed a whopping $22000, so the only thing that could go wrong is if he screw up massively somehow... then the final clue comes along; "Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille [=LeSuer=]." And somehow, Cliff manages to fumble his way to "Who are three people who've never been in my kitchen?"
Meanwhile, Sam finds one of his little black books has been stolen, when he keeps getting calls from women saying he asked them out for a date but never showed.

* AsHimself: Alex Trebec.
* CallBack: Cliff's fondness for ''Jeopardy!'' was established back in "My Fair Clavin".
* TheConstant: Yet another joke about just how long Norm's been drinking at Cheers in the cold open, when an old customer comes in for the first time in decades, noting how everything's changed... well, almost everything.
-->'''Guy:''' They've even changed the panelling.\\
'''Woody:''' Where?\\
'''Guy:''' Over there, behind Norm.

This became an epic fail so legendary it actually became a real life meme - "to pull a Cliff Clavin" became ''Jeopardy'' slang for blowing a certain win out of sheer stupidity.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: As Sam's grumbling about his black book being misused, he mutters how there could be dozens of gals sitting around in miniskirts and French cut panties just waiting for some guy they don't recognize to pick them up... after that, ''every'' man in the bar storms out to search for them.
* GaiasLament: Woody's excitement about the ''Jeopardy!'' opening credits, and how it reminds him of sunset in Hanover, prompts an alarmed Frasier to ask if, just by happenstance, there happened to be a big chemical plant back home. Sure enough, there was, right next to the town reservoir, funnily enough.
* IRejectYourReality: Cliff is utterly insistent his answer on Final Jeopardy is right and that he deserves to win, even after he's been kicked out of the studio. His insanity is so much that it scares Alex Trebec, and he makes up a phoney story in order to placate him.
* {{Kidanova}}: The culprit of the theft of Sam's black book is a kid who wants to be a hound. He's just too nervous to commit to sleeping with women. Sam doesn't punish him, but instead gives him advice.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: It almost, ''almost'' works in Cliff's favor for once, as the ''Jeopardy!'' questions chosen are all ones only someone like Cliff would know the answers to, as opposed to his opponents, who trail massively behind Cliff by Final Jeopardy. But then he manages to shoot himself in the foot with that last question.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Seeing what's about to happen, Norm advises Woody they get out of the studio before Cliff makes an ass of himself, and anyone realizes they were with him.
