Clifford C. Clavin, Jr. was a character on the American television show Cheers, portrayed by John Ratzenberger.
Cliff was a postal worker and Norm Peterson's best friend. He lived with his mother, Esther Clavin (Frances Sternhagen) in an apartment. A rambler by nature, Cliff was well known as a storehouse of useless trivia, often of indeterminate veracity and bearing little relation to the conversation being had around the bar. Carla did not like Cliff, and often insulted him or his opinions.
Cliff was a contestant on Jeopardy! once, but failed when his response to the final answer was "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?" (See also Jeopardy! in culture.)
