Johnny’s son, Rocko Clapp − who uses his father’s given name rather than the nod to Knoxville − is a right‑handed pitcher in Beverly Hills, California, set to graduate in 2028. Now 16, Clapp showed off his skills to a national TV audience on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" back in 2022 to help his father promote "Reboot," a Hulu comedy series starring Johnny that followed the cast of a fictional early-2000s sitcom. The late-night host showed viewers some of Clapp's highlights from a tournament in Cooperstown, New York, where Johnny said his son pitched nine innings over two games and struck out 18 batters.
