In the season eight (1990) Cheers episode "What is.... Cliff Clavin?" Cliff is a contestant on Jeopardy! and is greeted with the categories:

"Civil Servants" | "Stamps from Around the World" | "Mothers and Sons" | "Beer" | "Bar Trivia" | "Celibacy"

This made Cliff happy.

When Cliff makes it to the Final Jeopardy question with an insurmountable lead, Alex Trebek asks the contestants to identify Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille Lesueur and says"Cliff, unless you've done something incredibly stupid like wagering everything, you've won"

Cliff bet all his money.

His answer was "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen".
