Clemens has appeared as himself in several movies and television episodes and has also occasionally acted in films. Perhaps best known was his appearance in the season three episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' ("[[Homer at the Bat]]"), in which he is recruited to the Springfield nuclear plant's softball team but is accidentally hypnotized into thinking he is a chicken; in addition to his lines, Clemens voiced his own clucking. Clemens has also made guest appearances as himself on the TV shows ''[[Hope & Faith]]'', ''[[Spin City]]'', ''[[Arli$$]]'', and ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' as well as the movie ''[[Anger Management (film)|Anger Management]]'', and makes a brief appearance in the movie ''[[Kingpin (1996 film)|Kingpin]]'' as the character Skidmark.<ref name="m973">{{cite web | title=Roger Clemens Would Pick Red Sox Hat For Hall Of Fame | website=CBS Boston | date=2015-11-19 | url=https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/roger-clemens-red-sox-hat-hall-of-fame-toucher-and-rich/ | access-date=2024-09-16}}</ref> He also is shown playing an actual game with the [[Houston Astros]] in the film ''[[Boyhood (2014 film)|Boyhood]]''.

Since 2005, Clemens has also appeared in many commercials for Texas-based supermarket chain [[H-E-B]]. In 2007, he appeared on a baseball-themed episode of ''[[MythBusters]]'' ("[[MythBusters (2007 season)#Episode 83 – "Baseball Myths"|Baseball Myths]]"). He has also starred in a commercial for [[Cingular]] parodying his return from retirement. He was calling his wife, Debra Godfrey, and a dropped call resulted in his return to the Yankees.

He released an early autobiography, ''Rocket Man: The Roger Clemens Story'' (written with [[Peter Gammons]]), in 1987. Clemens is also the spokesperson for Champion car dealerships in South Texas. In April 2009, Clemens was the subject of an [[unauthorized biography]] by [[Jeff Pearlman]], titled ''The Rocket that Fell to Earth-Roger Clemens and the Rage for Baseball Immortality'', that focused on his childhood and early career and accused Mike Piazza of using steroids. On May 12, Clemens broke a long silence to denounce a heavily researched exposé by four investigative reporters from the New York ''Daily News'' called ''[[American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastime]]''. Clemens went on ESPN's ''Mike and Mike'' show to call the book "garbage", but a review by Michiko Kakutani of ''[[The New York Times]]'' called the book "gripping" and compared it to the work of [[Bob Woodward]].<ref name=Michiko>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/books/12kaku.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|title=How a Man Who Threw Heat Was Consumed by His Own Fire|first=Michiko|last=Kakutani|date=May 12, 2009|access-date=April 10, 2010}}</ref>
