• [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!
