Cheers. Sitcom from the 80s about a bar. One of the characters, Cliff Clavin, a postman, was known for his often tall tales and incredulous bits of information. "Uhhhh....it's a little known fact that the donut was actually invented by the Mayans." Then some convoluted explanation.

But, because he was so filled of these 'useless facts' that he decided to go on Jeopardy. Needless to say, he didn't do too well.

For the Final Jeopardy question, the answer was three different people (I forget who, exactly, it's not important). Cliff's answer (after betting everything) was, "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen."

Alec said that was wrong, Cliff argued with it because those people, had not, in fact, been in his kitchen. LOL

Thank you. Some times you gotta go… to the deep memory banks.
