His next successful TV venture after ''John en Marsha'' was ''[[Home Along Da Riles]]'' in 1992 with [[Nova Villa]], as his wife and real son [[Vandolph]], as one of his children.

In 2001, Dolphy played another gay character, this time with his sons [[Eric Quizon]] and [[Jeffrey Quizon]] playing the same character at three different stages in life. They all won the Prix de la Meilleure Interpretation in [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]] for playing [[Walter Dempster|Walterina Markova]], a [[transvestite]] in the movie ''[[Markova: Comfort Gay]]''.<ref name="PW">Montelibano Edith.

In 2003, the sitcom ''Home Along Da Riles'' returned as ''Home Along Da Airport''. In 2006, the sitcom ''John en Shirley'', a spinoff and sequel series to ''John en Marsha'' was released, with Dolphy and Maricel Soriano reprising their roles.

On July 25, 2008, Quizon celebrated his 80th birthday with the launching of a [[Biography|biographical book]], ''Dolphy, Hindi Ko Ito Narating Mag-isa'' ''(Dolphy, I Didn't Get Here All By Myself)''. ABS-CBN President [[Charo Santos-Concio]] stated, ''Nagbigay siya ng mga ngiti at halakhak sa gitna ng mga problema'' (He gave us joy and laughter in times of trouble). Bibeth Orteza was commissioned to complete the book, amid the creation of "Dolphy Aid Para sa Pinoy Foundation, Inc.", a non-profit and non-stock organization.<ref name="Goldfish" /><ref name="PEP">(2008-07-24).

GMA News Online.</ref> Also that year, Dolphy made a movie with Comedy Box Office King [[Vic Sotto]] in a comedy movie, ''[[Dobol Trobol: Lets Get Redi 2 Rambol!|Dobol Trobol]]'', a movie where Dolphy played a chef and Vic a hotel resident manager. This was the first time a film was produced through joint ventures of ''RVQ Productions'' (Dolphy's Film Outfit) & ''M-Zet Films'' (Vic Sotto's Film Outfit) and ''APT Entertainment''. The film also featured stars Carmi Martin, Riza Santos, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Ricky Davao and more.

In 2009, Dolphy was cast as a retired senior citizen in Chicago who wanted to watch ''[[Wowowee]]'' in [[Manila]] entitled ''[[Nobody Nobody But... Juan]]'', and co-starred with Eddie "Manoy" Garcia, Gloria Romero, Joe Aldeguer, Pokwang, Giselle "G" Toengi, Heart Evangelista, Ya Chang, real life sons Eric Quizon, Jeffrey "Epi" Quizon & Vandolph Quizon. Also in 2009, Dolphy was nominated to receive the Order of National Artists, "the highest national recognition given to Filipino individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts".<ref>{{cite web |title=The National Artists Award |url=https://www.culturalcenter.gov.ph/programs/awards-and-grants/the-national-artists-award/details |website=Cultural Center of the Philippines |access-date=March 12, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Dolphy's National Artist nomination being evaluated |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/gov-t-now-evaluating-dolphy-s-national-artist-nomination |website=Rappler.com |date=June 22, 2012}}</ref> However, he did not pass the second deliberation of the screening committee. In 2012, Dolphy was diagnosed with [[chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]].<ref name="inq-fights-4-life">{{cite news|last=San Diego Jr.|first=Bayani|author2=Marinel R.

In 2010, Dolphy played a priest in his last movie in ''Father Jejemon'', with his co-stars Cherrie Gil, Roy Alvarez, Maja Salvador, EJ Falcon, singer Ralph Salazar & YouTube singing duo [[Moymoy Palaboy]]. That same year, President [[Benigno Aquino III]] said he believes the late Comedy King deserves to be conferred the National Artist award but stressed he cannot shortcut the process for legal reasons. Since there is a temporary restraining order on the conferment of the [[National Artist of the Philippines|National Artist]] title issued during the past administration, President Aquino conferred to Dolphy the [[Order of the Golden Heart]], with the rank of Grand Collar (''Maringal na Kuwintas)''.<ref>{{cite news|date=July 13, 2012|title=Zsa Zsa's tearful eulogy: I miss you, Lovey|newspaper=Philippine Star|url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=826893&publicationSubCategoryId=63|access-date=July 13, 2012}}</ref> Also that year, Dolphy was recognized as Outstanding Manilan by the Manila City Government.

In 2012, he was given the Diwa ng Lahi award in 2012, given by City Hall in celebration of the city's founding anniversary. He died later that year.
