0I haven't heard this expression before. but to me it would sound better to say in the name of all that are cliffhangers.
0It is a play on "what in the name of all that is holy ...", and an ill-advised one. The "is" is part of the formula and is not subject to grammatical analysis or alteration. I think the phrase is adverbial acting on "watch", and not a parenthetical.
