In August 2009, Homme collaborated with [[The Prodigy]]'s [[Liam Howlett]] for a remix of the Prodigy track "[[Take Me to the Hospital]]".

This marked the first time Homme and Oliveri collaborated since their public falling out in 2004. "The Last Train" also features fellow former [[Kyuss]] bandmate [[John Garcia (singer)|John Garcia]] providing vocals, which was recorded shortly before Homme's lawsuit with Garcia regarding the [[Kyuss Lives!]] band name; it was the first time Homme had collaborated with Garcia since 1997. In June 2012, it was revealed that Homme would be starring in the music video for the song "A Better Place" from [[Glen Campbell]]'s final album ''[[Ghost on the Canvas]]''.<ref>{{cite web|last=Billings|first=Lane|date=July 9, 2014|title=Exclusive: Stills Reveal Glen Campbell, Joshua Homme Collaboration|url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2012/06/exclusive-stills-reveal-glen-campbell-joshua-homme.html|access-date=July 16, 2014|magazine=Pastemagazine.com}}</ref> In the video, Homme plays a bartender who shows Campbell a photo album of his life, from his early childhood through his music career to the present day. The video marked the end of Campbell's musical career and was a retrospect on his life following his decision to retire after his diagnosis of [[Alzheimer's disease]]. In July, he had a very brief cameo at the end of [[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]]'s music video for "[[Freedom at 21]]", playing a police officer who intercepts White at a roadblock following White's escapades throughout the video. In September, he contributed the song "Nobody to Love" to the soundtrack of the action-drama film ''[[End of Watch]]''. In early 2013, Homme and fellow Queens contributors Alain Johannes and Chris Goss added three tracks each to the soundtrack of Dave Grohl's documentary ''[[Sound City (film)#Soundtrack|Sound City: Real to Reel]]''. Homme was interviewed for the documentary and is notably included in a scene where he collaborates with Grohl and [[Trent Reznor]], under the name [[Sound City Players]], to come up with a song called "[[Mantra (Dave Grohl song)|Mantra]]". Homme played bass and provided backing vocals on the track.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sound city: Reel to Reel|url=http://buy.soundcitymovie.com/album|website=Buy.soundcitymovie.com}}</ref> Homme has appeared in a number of television comedies. In December 2014, Homme made an appearance on [[Channel 4]] sitcom ''[[Toast of London]]''. The star of the show, [[Matt Berry]], had been working alongside [[Morgana Robinson]] (the half-sister of Homme's ex-wife [[Brody Dalle]]) in the [[BBC]] sitcom ''[[House of Fools (TV series)|House of Fools]]'', in which both had prominent roles. Earlier in the year, Homme had also made appearances on [[IFC (U.S. TV network)|IFC]]'s ''[[Comedy Bang! Bang!]]'' and ''[[Portlandia (TV series)|Portlandia]]''. In July 2015, Homme began hosting a weekly hour-long show called ''The Alligator Hour with Joshua Homme'' on [[Apple Music]]'s 24-hour streaming internet radio station [[Beats 1]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Alligator Hour with Joshua Homme|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/post/idsa.6d402c45-2b23-11e5-85b1-2890829a6abb|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721053025/https://itunes.apple.com/us/post/idsa.6d402c45-2b23-11e5-85b1-2890829a6abb|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 21, 2015|access-date=July 15, 2015|publisher=Apple, Inc.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Beats 1 – July Lineup|url=http://applemusic.tumblr.com/beats1|access-date=July 15, 2015|publisher=Apple Music}}</ref> The show features a highly eclectic selection of songs personally selected by Homme, interspersed with his own wry introductions of (and commentary on) the various tracks on that particular week's playlist.<ref>{{cite web|title=See what's hot with The Alligator Hour with Joshua Homme on Apple Music.|url=https://music.apple.com/us/curator/alligator-hour-joshua-homme/993270307|access-date=July 15, 2015|publisher=Apple Music}}</ref> The show's musical selections typically have some sort of thematic, stream-of-consciousness-type relationship to each other. In March 2016, Homme released a surprise album with [[Iggy Pop]] titled ''[[Post Pop Depression]]''.<ref>{{cite news|date=January 24, 2016|title=Iggy Pop and Joshua Homme Team Up for Secret Album|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/24/arts/music/iggy-pop-josh-homme-post-pop-depression.html|access-date=January 21, 2016}}</ref> The nine-track album was recorded at [[Rancho De La Luna]] in [[Joshua Tree, California]], as well as Homme's Pink Duck Studios. Their backing band included guitarist and keyboardist [[Dean Fertita]] and drummer [[Matt Helders]]; the two joined Pop and Homme on tour, along with [[Troy Van Leeuwen]] on guitar and [[Matt Sweeney]] on bass. The band made their debut on January 21, 2016, on ''[[The Late Show with Stephen Colbert]]'', announcing the album, and proceeded on a North American and European theater tour that March, culminating in a performance at the [[Royal Albert Hall]], filmed and released as a concert DVD.
