Il devient professeur invité à la John F. Kennedy School of Government de l'université d'Harvard en 2004. Il a depuis animé de nombreux shows télévisés. Il est ainsi le 23 novembre 2009, le présentateur d’un soir de WWE Raw, émission de catch de la World Wrestling Entertainment. Il a écrit plusieurs livres politiques.
Ventura reste politiquement actif et actuellement anime un show sur Ora TV et RT (ex Russia Today) appelée Off the Grid.
