Cliché is a noun: 'it's a cliché to say so'.
Clichéed is the adjective: 'it's a clichéed idea'.
Bias is a noun: 'the jury displayed bias'.
Biased (or biassed, if you prefer) is the adjective: 'the jury's decision was biased'.
I sometimes feel as though I'm the last person on earth who observes this distinction.
