Sampson features as "Dr. Scott" on the television series, ''Dinosaur Train''. In this television series he mentions he gave ''Masiakasaurus'' its name and also mentions on a separate episode of The Dinosaur Train that he participated in naming ''Kosmoceratops''.

His latest book, ''Dinosaur Odyssey: Fossil Threads in the Web of Life'' was published by University of California Press in 2009. The book, aimed at the general public reconstructs the odyssey of the dinosaurs from their origins on the supercontinent of Pangaea, and explores the way in which dinosaurs ecologically interacted in an expansive web of relationships with other organisms and their natural environment, underscoring "paradigm shifts", which conceptualize the nature of the dinosaurian world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dinosaur Odyssey Fossil Threads in the Web of Life )〕
