In 1998, Smith shot two TV commercials for [[Coca-Cola]] in New Jersey.<ref name=Playboy/>

In 2000, Smith and Mosier teamed up with television writer [[David Mandel]] to develop an animated television show based on ''Clerks'' called ''[[Clerks: The Animated Series]]''. Only the first two episodes aired, on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in May 2000, before the series was canceled due to poor ratings. The six produced episodes were released on DVD in 2001.

During the mid-1990s, Smith directed and starred in a series of commercials for MTV, alongside [[Jason Mewes]], in which they reprised their roles as [[Jay and Silent Bob]]. In 1998, he directed Mewes as "Gary Lamb – Ground Activist" in a series of [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] commercials. That same year, he shot commercials for Diet Coke. Two years later, he directed ''Star Wars'' toy commercials for Hasbro.

In 2004, he shot a [[public service announcement]] for the [[Declare Yourself]] organization, which promotes youth voter registration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.viewaskew.com/news/jul04/1.html |title=The View Askewniverse – News&nbsp;– KEVIN SHOOTS 'DECLARE YOURSELF' PSA'S |publisher=The View Askewniverse |access-date=November 9, 2008}}</ref> These advertisements brought Jay and Silent Bob out of their "semi-retirement."

On February 27, 2002, Smith released a short film for ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', ''[[The Flying Car (2002 film)|The Flying Car]]''.

Smith directed the pilot for [[The CW]] supernatural comedy series ''[[Reaper (TV series)|Reaper]]''. He described it as "less ''[[Brimstone (TV series)|Brimstone]]'' or ''[[Dead Like Me]]'' and more like ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' than anything else". He added that he took the job because he had always wanted to direct something he did not write, but never had an interest in doing it on the big screen.

Smith produced and appeared in the [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] reality television series ''[[Comic Book Men]]'', which is set inside Smith's comic book shop, [[Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash]], in [[Red Bank, New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Cameras Invade a Paradise for Fanboys |author=Itzkoff, Dave |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/05/arts/television/amc-goes-inside-kevin-smiths-comic-book-shop.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=February 3, 2012 |access-date=September 23, 2013}}</ref> The show ran for seven seasons, from 2012<ref name="Comic">Seidman, Robert (January 14, 2012).
