In 1999, Sambora was a guest vocalist on the [[Stuart Smith (musician)|Stuart Smith]] album ''Stuart Smith's Heaven & Earth'', performing a cover of the [[Deep Purple]] song "[[When a Blind Man Cries]]". Also in 1999, Sambora played the guitar solo on the track "Why Don't You Love Me" on the album ''Tuesday's Child'', by Canadian singer [[Amanda Marshall]]. In 1992 Sambora was on the soundtrack for Red Shoe Diaries with the feverish song βYou Never Really Knowβ. Sambora sang "Long Way Around" for the 1997 [[Steven Seagal]] action film ''[[Fire Down Below (1997 film)|Fire Down Below]]''. The song, written by Seagal and [[David Pomeranz]], appears in the final scene. In a 1998 interview Sambora said his version is in the film itself but a different person's performance of the song is included on the film's soundtrack album, despite Sambora's name appearing on the album credits.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bjf-europe.demon.nl/chat/richieinterview.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010511090500/http://www.bjf-europe.demon.nl/chat/richieinterview.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 11, 2001 |date=October 30, 1998 |title=Interview with Richie Sambora |work=BJF-Europe |location=Dordrecht, The Netherlands |first=Arjan |last=De Jongste |access-date=November 30, 2014 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Sambora also recorded the song "One Last Goodbye" for movie ''[[The Banger Sisters]]'', and covered Jimi Hendrix's "[[The Wind Cries Mary]]" for the soundtrack of 1990 comedy ''[[The Adventures of Ford Fairlane]]''. In 2004, [[Sanctuary Records]] released a self-titled album which had been recorded in 1978 by Shark Frenzy, documenting Sambora's first recorded material. The mix tapes had been damaged in a flood and band member Bruce Foster had remastered them for release many years later. Sambora co-wrote several tracks and played guitar on Australian rock/pop artist [[Shannon Noll]]'s third album ''Turn It Up''. It was released in Australia in September 2007. To coincide with his solo album ''[[Aftermath of the Lowdown]]'', Sambora and friends performed as the house band on ''[[The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson]]'' on CBS for one week (December 3β7, 2012).<ref>[http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/tvguide/article/Richie-Sambora-to-Serve-as-The-Late-Late-Show-4037384.php] {{Dead link|date=April 2014|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref> Several guests sang along with the band over the week, including Ferguson (singing Sugar Daddy),<ref>{{cite web|title=Craig Ferguson sings Sugar Daddy (video)|website=[[CBS]]|url=http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_late_show/video/PgKMRTXrTxuVdMwTP_n7q0MCBXFdhiJd/craig-ferguson-craig-s-rock-n-roll-dream|access-date=December 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121212152848/http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_late_show/video/PgKMRTXrTxuVdMwTP_n7q0MCBXFdhiJd/craig-ferguson-craig-s-rock-n-roll-dream|archive-date=December 12, 2012|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> [[Denis Leary]], [[Eddie Izzard]] and even [[Larry King]], who sang the Late Late Show theme song.<ref>{{cite web|title=Larry King sings Ferguson's theme song with Sambora (video)|website=[[CBS]]|url=http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_late_show/video/0qe9Ny7Vsbv1aZrzSBVk7crSpnHJcoLs/the-late-late-show-12-5-2012|access-date=December 9, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121210093711/http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_late_show/video/0qe9Ny7Vsbv1aZrzSBVk7crSpnHJcoLs/the-late-late-show-12-5-2012|archive-date=December 10, 2012|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Sambora competed on the fourth season of the British version of ''[[The Masked Singer (British TV series)|The Masked Singer]]'' as the Jacket Potato.<ref>{{cite web |last=Cook |first=Rebecca |title=The Masked Singer unveils Jacket Potato as Jon Bon Jovi legend ahead of final |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/breaking-masked-singer-unveils-jacket-29193090 |website=[[Daily Mirror]]|date=February 11, 2023 }}</ref>
