What happened when Cliff got on Jeopardy was that all of the categories happened to be those few areas in which he was an acknowledged expert, like “History of the U.S. Postal Service” and “Florida.”
By the same token, if the “Jeopardy” categories happened to be “The Untranslated Bible”, “Points of Interest in Tulsa”, “Basic Cable”, “Current Events of 1961”, and “Stuff Everybody Knows Already”, we can imagine someone who would do very well on that show.
Cliff’s downfall did not come until the Final Jeopardy round when, after amassing a huge lead while the subjects were limited to those areas of his particular expertise, he bet everything on a category which fell outside the narrowly-limited parameters of his knowledge.
Yes, what is most annoying is not a “Know-It-All”, because nobody can know everything, but someone who simultaneously thinks “Anything I know that you don’t know is of great importance” and “Anything you know that I don’t know is utterly inconsequential.”

Ah, product placement in it’s infancy!

He chose to cloud the issue.

He might’ve said something about “Q-tips” and the blonde chick walks by, wiggles her cute hips and says, “Why, thank you!”

Joe: I thought I was a master of factoids and trivia, but I doff my hat to you. :)
It’s amazing how the language has changed. Could you imagine any new hygiene product now being called “Baby Gays”?

Good one, gimmickgenius (stretching it a little bit, but still a good one).

And cigarettes were called “fags”.

At first, I thought of a dog bone. I didn’t realize JNJ was around for such a long time.
Good morning LuvH8 & Lonewolf!

…so M&H gave it to them for free…

NOTHING is free in life. As it stands M&H told us that “Johnson & Johnson wouldn’t shell out for the spot”.

Now that you’ve had a chance to think about it, I’m sure a few clams were exchanged, or it would have been a “BONE”.

I thought it was mashed potato ear muffs.

Someone should ask the rapper Q-Tip for his opinion.
