==Later years== {{More citations needed section|date=January 2024}} Porky was used in regular rotation in [[television syndication]] beginning in the 1960s, as were the rest of his ''Looney Tunes'' co-stars. A Saturday morning cartoon, ''[[The Porky Pig Show]]'', ran from 1964 to 1967.<ref name=Gitlin>{{cite book |last1=Gitlin |first1=Martin |last2=Wos |first2=Joseph |title=A Celebration of Animation: The 100 Greatest Cartoon Characters in Television History |date=2018 |publisher=Lyons Press |isbn=9781630762797|page=168-170}}</ref> In 1971, he starred in another show, ''[[Porky Pig and Friends]]''.<ref name=Gitlin/> Both of these programs were collections of old theatrical shorts. Porky also appeared in all the classic film-feature [[Product bundling|compilations]] in the 1970s and 1980s. Another such collection was the 1986 film, ''Porky Pig in Hollywood'', which ran in art and college theaters.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/28/movies/screen-porky-pig-in-hollywood.html|title=SCREEN: PORKY PIG IN HOLLYWOOD|date=November 28, 1986|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|last=Maslin|first=Janet|access-date=November 20, 2011|archive-date=May 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150524194123/http://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/28/movies/screen-porky-pig-in-hollywood.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Porky made an appearance in the [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]/[[Amblin Entertainment|Amblin]] film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' (1988) at the end of the film where he, being paired with Disney's [[Tinker Bell (Disney character)|Tinkerbell]], closes the movie with his famous line "Th-Th-Th-That's All Folks!". It was the last time that Mel Blanc voiced Porky before his death in 1989. [[File:41st Annie Awards, Bob Bergen.jpg|thumb|[[Bob Bergen]] provided the current voice for Porky Pig since 1990.]] In the 1990s animated series ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Porky appears as the mentor of [[Hamton J. Pig]]. He was voiced by [[Bob Bergen]] in "Animaniacs" and "Hero Hamton", [[Rob Paulsen]] in "The Wacko World of Sports", [[Noel Blanc]] in "Fields of Honey", "The Acme Bowl" and "Hero Hamton", [[Joe Alaskey]] in "Music Day", and [[Greg Burson]] in "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special". Porky also made cameo appearances in ''[[Animaniacs]]'' (where he was voiced by Rob Paulsen in "De-Zanitized", Greg Burson in "The Warners' 65th Anniversary Special", and Bob Bergen in "Suffragette City") and ''[[Histeria!]]'' (where he was voiced by [[Billy West]]). Porky appears in the movie ''[[Space Jam]]'' (1996) and collaborates with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Sylvester in challenging the Nerdlucks to a basketball game. He tries to get [[Michael Jordan]]'s autograph when the basketball star is first recruited to join the team and later plays for the Tune Squad in the game itself, scoring one basket. Porky tries to end the movie with his famous line but is prevented by the combined efforts of Bugs, Daffy, and the Nerdlucks. He was voiced by Bob Bergen. Porky is the star of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] video game ''[[Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday]]'' (1995). He also made appearances in the games ''[[Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal]]'', ''[[Looney Tunes: Marvin Strikes Back!]]'', ''[[Looney Tunes: Space Race]]'', ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action (video game)|Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'', ''[[Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage]]'' and ''[[The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout]]''. Bob Bergen reprises his role in these games. In the movie ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'' (2003), Porky (Bob Bergen again) makes a cameo appearance alongside [[Speedy Gonzales]], where they both lament their [[politically incorrect]] status. At the end of the movie, Porky tries to say his classic line, but stutters so much, the lights are turned off around him as the studio closes for the night; so an irritated Porky simply says, "G-g-go home, folks." Porky appears as a toddler version of himself in ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]'' (2002), albeit only in the show's musical numbers. Petunia functioned as the show's more major pig character. Porky appears as the "Eager Young Space Cadet" in the animated series ''[[Duck Dodgers (TV series)|Duck Dodgers]]'' (2003β2005), again voiced by Bob Bergen. Porky has a descendant in ''[[Loonatics Unleashed]]'' (2005β2007) named Pinkster Pig (who was also voiced by Bob Bergen). Pinkster had been an old friend of Danger Duck ([[Daffy Duck]]'s descendant), but became a villain when he was adopted by Stoney and Bugsy (descendants of [[Rocky and Mugsy]]). Porky also appears in most episodes of [[Cartoon Network]]'s animated series ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' (2011β2014), voiced again by Bob Bergen. He is still friends with Daffy Duck and often sucked into Daffy's schemes. Porky is also Daffy's nervous, [[fall guy]] buddy, similar to their relationship in classic comic books. It is also revealed in the show that in his high school years, he was a jock who bullied Daffy, while during their childhood years, it was Daffy who bullied Porky. In the documentary ''[[I Know That Voice]]'' (2013), Bob Bergen explains how to recreate the pig's famous stutter, demonstrating how difficult it is to do it without practice. He finishes the segment by joking "Nobody [else] can do that, and that's why I have [[job security]]!" Porky appears in the [[direct-to-video]] movie ''[[Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run]]'' (2015), reprised by Bob Bergen. Porky Pig appears as a recurring character in ''[[New Looney Tunes]]'', voiced again by Bob Bergen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toonzone.net/nycc-2015-wabbit-woundtable-with-j-p-karliak-bob-bergen-gary-hartle-and-jeff-bergman/|title=NYCC 2015: "Wabbit" Woundtable with J.P. Karliak, Bob Bergen, Gary Hartle, and Jeff Bergman β ToonZone News|date=October 27, 2015|website=ToonZone.net|access-date=August 2, 2017|archive-date=August 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170803050101/http://www.toonzone.net/nycc-2015-wabbit-woundtable-with-j-p-karliak-bob-bergen-gary-hartle-and-jeff-bergman/|url-status=live}}</ref> Here, he is shown to be fatter, like some of his earlier appearances in the mid-1930s. Porky was first mentioned in "Dust Bugster", where he told Bugs about a television series whose name was not mentioned that led to Bugs binge-watching it. A humanoid version of Porky also appeared in [[Tom King (comics)|Tom King's]] ''Batman/Elmer Fudd Special'', where he ran a bar called Porky's which often featured attendants that were humanoid versions of other Looney Tunes characters. The bar and Porky also made a cameo in Tom King's ''Batman'' series.<ref>''Batman/Elmer Fudd Special'' #1</ref> In the 2018 [[DC Comics]] and Looney Tunes comic crossovers, Porky appeared in a story that paired him with [[Lex Luthor]]. This version of Porky was the successful owner of a company named Porkybux before it was hacked and ran him out of business. He is later approached by Lex to be in charge of [[LexCorp]]'s social media division and lets Lex get away with harassing his employees and stealing their sandwiches as repayment for the second chance. It is later revealed that Lex gave him the position to frame Porky when he used his social media website to steal important passwords from their users. Porky begins an autobiography in prison to expose Lex for his actions. In the backup story stylized more like Looney Tunes, Porky tries selling Acme office supplies to Lex but ends up stopping Lex from defeating [[Superman]].<ref>''Lex Luthor/Porky Pig'' #1</ref> Porky appears in ''[[Looney Tunes Cartoons]]'', where he is again voiced by Bob Bergen. His personality is based on the earlier shorts, however, his appearance is based on later shorts like ''The Looney Tunes Show'' for example. He is mostly paired with Daffy Duck who always drives him crazy. Porky appears in the movie ''[[Space Jam: A New Legacy]]'', voiced by [[Eric Bauza]]. Here, he collaborates with other Looney Tunes and [[LeBron James]] in challenging the "Goon Squad" to a basketball game in the "Warner Bros. Serververse". Porky appears in the preschool series ''[[Bugs Bunny Builders]]'' which aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Cartoonito (American programming block)|Cartoonito]] block and [[HBO Max]], where he is voiced by Bob Bergen, reprising his role from ''Looney Tunes Cartoons''.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoonito-launches-on-hbo-max-with-20-series/|title = WarnerMedia Upfronts: Cartoonito Launches on HBO Max with 20 Series|date = 17 February 2021|access-date = 17 February 2021|archive-date = 10 March 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210310112336/https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoonito-launches-on-hbo-max-with-20-series/|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Bugs Bunny Builders Breaks Ground July 25 on Cartoonito on Cartoon Network and July 26 on Cartoonito on HBO Max |url=https://pressroom.warnermedia.com/us/media-release/bugs-bunny-builders-breaks-ground-july-25-cartoonito-cartoon-network-and-july-26?language_content_entity=en |date=2022-06-14 |access-date=2022-06-14 |work=[[WarnerMedia]] |archive-date=2022-10-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021063228/https://pressroom.warnermedia.com/us/media-release/bugs-bunny-builders-breaks-ground-july-25-cartoonito-cartoon-network-and-july-26?language_content_entity=en |url-status=live }}</ref> Porky appears in the ''[[Teen Titans Go!]]'' episode, "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary".

Porky stars alongside Daffy Duck in ''[[The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie]]'', voiced by Eric Bauza, reprising the role from ''Space Jam: A New Legacy''. Here, he teams up with Daffy and [[Petunia Pig]] against an alien mind-control plot the former uncovers.
