Over the years, the band’s music has been featured in many different areas of global media and pop culture. Night Ranger was one of the first big “video” bands on MTV, with over 10 No.1 hit videos. Their songs can be heard in such television shows as The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, American Dad, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy, and Parks & Recreation.

The band has also had music featured in video games, such as Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Grand Theft Auto, plus hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages, the film Boogie Nights, and other films such as Friday the 13th, Teachers, Sixteen Candles, and The Secret of My Success. Most recently the band’s classic hit “Sister Christian” can be heard in a Dr. Pepper commercial.
