From 1988 to 1992, Richman performed mostly as a solo act to support his Rounder albums ''[[Jonathan Richman (album)|Jonathan Richman]]'' (1989), ''[[Jonathan Goes Country]]'' (1990), and ''[[Having a Party with Jonathan Richman]]'' (1991). Around the time of his ''I, Jonathan'' album (1992), he formed his performance duo with drummer Tommy Larkins ([[Giant Sand]], Yard Trauma, Naked Prey, et al.), who would continue to play and record with Richman for more than 25 years.

In 1993, he contributed the track "Hot Nights" to the AIDS-benefit album ''[[No Alternative]]'' produced by the [[Red Hot Organization]].

Always possessing an ardent [[cult following]], Richman became better known in the 1990s thanks to a series of appearances on ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]''. Another career boost came with the [[Farrelly Brothers]]' 1998 film ''[[There's Something About Mary]]'', where Richman and Larkins served as a two-man [[Greek chorus]], commenting on the plot while performing their music within the framed action itself. He also appeared briefly in a bar scene in a previous Farrelly Brothers film, ''[[Kingpin (1996 film)|Kingpin]]'', and performed the song "As We Walk to Fenway Park" for their 2005 comedy, ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]''.

Richman continued to release albums throughout the 1990s and 2000s, with the Spanish-language ''¡Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar!'' (1994), followed by ''You Must Ask the Heart'' (1995), ''[[Surrender to Jonathan!]]'' (1996), ''[[I'm So Confused]]'' (1998), ''[[Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow]]'' (2001), and ''[[Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love]]'' (2004). In 1998, a live album of Modern Lovers recordings from the early 1970s was released, ''Live at the Long Branch & More''. A live filmed performance, ''Take Me to the Plaza'', was released on [[DVD]] in 2002.

Richman's most recent albums are on the [[Cleveland]], Ohio, based Blue Arrow Records: 2016's ''Ishkode! Ishkode!'', 2018's ''SA'' and 2022's ''Want to Visit My Inner House?''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bluearrowrecords.com/record-label/jonathan-richman/ |title=Jonathan Richman |website=Bluearrowrecords.com |language=en-US |access-date=2018-10-21}}</ref>
