This episode aired less than a year before Johnny left "The Tonight Show".
2. According to Cliff, who was his "only fan" when it came to his comedy?

Answer: Lilith

Lilith, the emotionless, monotonous character, would crack up at Cliff's horrid jokes, making the scenes between the two of them hilarious.

"The merry mailman" was the name he used when he performed at an open mic comedy club.

Answer: "What's up with that?"

Some of his jokes included: "My son the father. What's up with that?" and "Drinking and driving. What's up with that?"
5. After Cliff's performance at the comedy club, Norm told him that there was a bomb scare. Where did he say the bomb scare was?

Answer: Right where Cliff was standing

Answer: He whited out the word "not" from a rejection letter
