* The city plays a tangential role in the mafia flick ''[[Casino]]''. While the movie is set in [[Las Vegas]], the characters repeatedly refer to the bosses "back in Kansas City," and a small handful of scenes take place in a Kansas City restaurant.
* The song "Kansas City" (featuring the famous lyrics "Kansas City/Kansas City here I come"), obviously.
* The call center manager from ''[[Outsourced (TV series)]]'' is from Kansas City. The town's barbecue is referenced a handful of times (he unsuccessfully tries to import some ribs), and one episode revolves around his attempts to catch a Chiefs game in India.
* The ''[[X-Files]]'' episode "Fight Club" takes place in Kansas City.
* ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (Comic Book)|Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' mentioned on occasion its Earth-C counterpart, "Kornsas City," including where Timmy Joe Terrapin (aka Fastback) was heading in search of work just before gaining superpowers. Earth-C's version of the song "Kansas City" is also seen here, as well as mention of the nearby small town of "Abalone" (Earth-C's Abilene, Kansas).
* In the ''[[Drawn Together]]'' episode where Xander roleplays to prepare to come out to his parents, Foxxy Love tells him to go to an orphanage in Kansas City, Missouri on her behalf to apologize to her son for abandoning him.
* ''[[The United States of Tara]]'' takes place in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City.
