Cliff Clavin on JEOPARDY

One of the more memorable episodes of CHEERS is the one where Cliff went on JEOPARDY. It was written by Dan O'Shannon & Tom Anderson and directed by James Burrows. I remember the fun the staff had coming up with appropriate categories. During the strike I spoke to a writer for JEOPARDY who said from time to time they do use those categories and contestants have given Cliff's final answer: "Who are three people who haven't been in my kitchen?"

Alex Trebek did such a good job that during the week of production we added him to a scene in the bar. He's got a career in comedy if this game show host thing doesn't pan out for him.

Here is the JEOPARDY scene.
