The eventual patriarch of the Arquette show business family, Arquette was the father of actor Lewis Arquette with his wife Mildred LeMay (Speight) and the grandfather of actors Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia, Alexis, and David Arquette. Cliff was of part French-Canadian descent, and his family's surname was originally 'Arcouet'.

During an appearance as a witness on NBC-TV's 'Dragnet' ('The Big Hands,' ), Arquette momentarily breaks up the stoic demeanor of actor Jack Webb, playing Detective Sergeant Joe Friday. It was when Arquette performed on the shows that he created and inaugurated his performances as his eventual trademark character of Charley Weaver. Arquette and Dave Willock had their own radio show, Dave and Charley, in the early 1950s, as well as a television show by the same name that was on the air for three months.

I would not like to say that all his jokes are old, although some have been found carved in stone. And I suspect that if they ever do, he will rewrite the ending on the spot.

Arquette could often convulse Paar and the audience into helpless laughter by way of his timing and use of double entendres in describing the misadventures of his fictional family and townspeople. This characterization proved so popular that Arquette almost never again appeared in public as himself, but nearly always as Charley Weaver, complete with his squashed hat, little round glasses, rumpled shirt, broad tie, baggy pants, and suspenders.
