Andy Roddick Career
On April 5, 2002, Roddick guest-starred on the television show Sabrina the Teenage Witch as himself. In the episode, Sabrina summoned him so he could give her tennis lessons.
Roddick appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn in 2002 and 2003, Late Show with David Letterman in 2003 and 2009, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and Live with Regis and Kelly in 2003, Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2004 and 2005, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2005 and 2007, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2006. Roddick also appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in 2007 and 2010.
Roddick hosted Saturday Night Live on November 8, 2003, becoming the second professional tennis player to host (Chris Evert being the first during the show’s 15th season) and the first (and, as of August 2017, only) male tennis player to host. Pre-Wimbledon, Roddick appeared on an episode of the British version of The Weakest Link, which was broadcast on 18 June 2004.
Roddick is in an advertisement for This is SportsCenter, with Stuart Scott, in which he confronts the Sports Center anchor about the anchors not calling him “A-Rod”, and asks him “Did Alex Rodriguez put you up to this?” Scott replies “Who?” Roddick says “A-Rod!” Scott gets a sneaky look on his face, and Roddick leaves disgusted.
The June/July issue of Men’s Fitness magazine carried an article on Roddick. The cover shot featured the tennis ace in a T-shirt, straining to contain massive, pumped-up biceps and hulking shoulder and chest muscles. The image set off widespread online speculation that the magazine had altered Roddick’s likeness, a suspicion echoed by Roddick himself. Roddick has quipped that he saw the photo, and that “Nadal wanted his arms back.”
In March 2009, Roddick appeared in the “Speed Feels Better” music video for singer-songwriter Michael Tolcher. Other athletes in the video included Amanda Beard, Barry Sanders, Kimmie Meissner, and Rick Ankiel. Roddick played tennis using a frying pan instead of a racquet for the book Andy Roddick Beat Me With a Frying Pan by Todd Gallagher.
In 2011, Roddick made a cameo at the end of the film Just Go With It, as the new lover of the film’s jilted bride, played by Decker. In 2019, Roddick appeared on Celebrity Family Feud with his wife and the rest of the Decker family, competing against Bobby Bones and his family.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Roddick tweeted Tennis Channel requesting a “job.” This led him to become a temporary contributor to the channel.
Radio hosting career and retirement
In 2011 Roddick co-hosted a radio show for one day on Fox Sports Radio with his friend Bobby Bones on the latter’s eponymous program.
Due to the success of that one-time show, Fox Sports Radio offered Roddick and Bones a nationally syndicated sports radio show. The show debuted on January 7, 2012, and could be heard nationally on Saturdays from 12 to 3 PM CST. It was a mix of sports, pop culture, and entertainment.
On February 16, 2012, Roddick interviewed his wife, Brooklyn, on the radio show, and during that interview, he first revealed his plans on retiring and turning the radio show into a daily show and into his new career.
On his birthday, August 30, 2012, Roddick announced his plans to retire after the US Open. On September 4–5, he played his last match against Juan Martín del Potro. The match was suspended after the first point of a first-set tiebreak due to rain, with Roddick winning. However, when the match was resumed the next day, del Potro gained the momentum, which he never relinquished.
At the 2013 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Roddick played his first professional golf tournament (as an amateur) where he teamed up with professional golfer, John Mallinger. Although Roddick’s team missed the cut to get the final round, he and Mallinger ended with a combined score of 16 under par (with Roddick individually hitting at a 6 handicap).
In 2013, Roddick was hired by Fox Sports 1 as co-host for the network’s flagship program Fox Sports Live. In 2015, Roddick joined the BBC as pundit and commentator for the 2015 Wimbledon Championships. In 2017, Roddick’s wife revealed that he discarded most of his tennis trophies except the US Open trophy.
