Curtis supported [[Mae West]] in ''[[Sextette]]'' (1978) and starred in ''[[The Manitou]]'' (1978), a horror film, and ''[[The Bad News Bears Go to Japan]]'' (1978), a comedy. He had good roles in ''[[It Rained All Night the Day I Left]]'' (1980), ''[[Little Miss Marker (1980 film)|Little Miss Marker]]'' (1980) and ''[[The Scarlett O'Hara War]]'' (1980) and was one of many stars in ''[[The Mirror Crack'd]]'' (1980). On ABC, he co-starred from 1978 to 1981 in prime time, as Las Vegas Desert Inn casino owner Philip (Slick) Roth, in 17 episodes of the [[Aaron Spelling]] produced series hit series, ''[[Vega$]]''. After ''Vega$'', on television, Curtis continued to make occasional guest appearances (sometimes playing fictional versions of himself) into the mid-2000s. His final TV series was as host of the documentary-retrospective series ''Hollywood Babylon''
(adapting [[Kenneth Anger]]'s [[Hollywood Babylon|book series]]) in 1992–1993; each episode would include Curtis recalling some anecdotes from his own career.
In 2002, Curtis was in the national tour of ''Some Like it Hot'', a modified revival of the 1972 musical ''[[Sugar (musical)|Sugar]]'', itself based on the film in which he starred.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.playbill.com/article/tour-of-some-like-it-hot-the-musical-begins-june-4-in-tx-tony-curtis-headlines-com-106263|title = Tour of Some Like It Hot, the Musical, Begins June 4 in TX; Tony Curtis Headlines|date = June 4, 2002}}</ref> Curtis played the supporting role of Osgood Fielding.
