Important Note: Each starred clue is the completion of a knock-knock joke. The associated entry is the set-up.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Shirley Guinness.
Shirley Guinness who?
Shirley Guinness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life . . .

(The final line of Psalm 23, in case you didn’t recognizer it. The full Irish set-up woud be “Shirley Guinness and Murphy.”)
If you need a little help, here are the nudges.
Nudge 1 If a knock-knock set-up line is not familiar, Google it.
Nudge 2 Each knock-knock entry has a counterpart elsewhere in the grid.
Nudge 3 Look for clues that could also clue the knock-knock entry.
Nudge 4 The entries associated with those clues aren’t as amusing, but their initial letters will spell out the answer.
