Mohr's 2004 autobiography, Gasping for Airtime: Two Years in the Trenches of Saturday Night Live, details this period of his life, including his battle with chronic panic attacks. Though his potential was appreciated by SNL creator/producer Lorne Michaels, Mohr was impatient with his progression to full cast member, and left the show on bad terms. He has since reconciled with Michaels.

Mohr had a recurring role in the first season of The Jeff Foxworthy Show as Jeff Foxworthy's brother Wayne.

In 1999, he was the star of his own television series, Action, in which he played a sleazy film producer, Peter Dragon. His intimidating boss is memorably characterized as a thinly-veiled Barry Diller.

Mohr hosted a short-lived 2001 talk show on ESPN entitled Mohr Sports.
