In addition to wrestling matches and backstage vignettes, ''SmackDown!'' has also had several recurring segments as part of its program. The first of these was a new incarnation [[Roddy Piper|Rowdy Roddy Piper]]'s famous ''Piper's Pit'' interview series. After Piper's exit from WWE, [[René Goguen|René Duprée]] hosted a similar segment called ''Café de René''. Since 2005, Piper's Pit now runs on special occasions on both the ''SmackDown!'' and ''RAW'' brands.

2004 saw the introduction of two segments to the show. "The Kurt Angle Invitational" featured Kurt Angle wrestling professional wrestlers who were allegedly from the town the show was taped in. The Kurt Angle Invitational became an exclusive to ''RAW'' when Angle was drafted to that show from ''SmackDown!'' ''[[Tough Enough#$1,000,000 Tough Enough|$1,000,000 Tough Enough]]'' was the latest edition of the [[reality television|reality show]] hosted by former WWE (now ECW) performer [[Allen Sarven|Al Snow]].

2005 saw the advent of ''Carlito's Cabana'' an interview segment that was [[Carly Colon|Carlito]]'s answer to ''RAW's'' Chris Jericho's ''Highlight Reel''. After Carlito was drafted to ''RAW'', he took his interview segment with him. ''The Peep Show'' hosted by one of ''SmackDown!'' 2005 draft lottery picks, [[Jason Reso|Christian]], replaced the segment for a few months until Christian left the company.
