In 1999 and 2000, Rogers made several commercials for fast food chain McDonald's. On 10 November 2000, Rogers appeared as a guest on "TFI Friday". His final television appearance, which was screened at the end of January 2001, saw him playing the host of a downmarket quiz show in the Series 13 episode "Let's Get Quizzical" of the BBC children's sitcom "ChuckleVision". Had he lived, he would have worked with his old friend Jackie Mason on a Vaudeville-type act in America which was due to start in October 2001.
