[Cliff is appearing on Jeopardy]
Alex Trebek : Let's go to Cliff and get his Final Jeopardy answer. "Who are people who have never been in my kitchen?" I'm sorry, that is wrong.
Cliff : Wait a minute, Alex. I can offer conclusive proof that those three people have never been in my kitchen.
Alex Trebek : Well, I'm sure they haven't, but obviously that's not what we were going for when we wrote up that clue.
Cliff : Obvious to who?
Alex Trebek : Cliff, it's alright, you don't have to worry. Unless you risked more than $21,600, you will be our new Jeopardy champion. So, let's take a look and see what your wager was.
[Cliff's wager is revealed]
Alex Trebek : "22,000 big ones?" That takes you down to zero. You bet it all, Cliff! Why would you do something like that?
Cliff : Because I knew that those people had never been in my kitchen!

Cliff Clavin : [yells to everyone in the bar] All right guys. I guess you heard the story. I guess everyone knows by now, huh? I'm nothing but a loser.
Pete : [pats Cliff on the back sympathetically] Oh, it's OK, Cliff. We understand.
Cliff Clavin : I can't believe I lost on Jeopardy!
Pete : Oh, you were on Jeopardy?
