I just was watching Caddyshack
Where Ted Knight goes to choke Rodney, Rodney has a clear inch over him, so I think 5'10" is right for Rodney since Ted is 5'9"

The only 6'1.5 Jim Carrey towers over him in 2004 so yeah probably shorter than 5'10 in his latter days.

There was a scene in Caddyshack where Dangerfield and Ted Knight appeared to be the same height (Knight was listed as 5'9").

excuse me. 76'. typo.

he was actually taller in his prime, and i did meet him twice. 5'10.5 minimum in 1986.

"Dangerfields" was the name of the club if I remember. Jack Cassidy was the guy my father would get drunk the most with, Sean's father.

I met him in '68. He'd get bombed with my father. Probably 5' 10" then. Had his own club.

I met Rodney in Vegas about 10 years ago. Actually, I was the lucky woman chosen to go on stage and give him a kiss in exchange for his tie (a part of his act). I am 5'5" and I was wearing 3.5" heals. Rodney was still 2 inches over me (long arms, sweaty hands...long story). So he kept his 5'10.5" height til the end.

In his prime.shrunk for awhile.

Jack says on 17/Jul/06
He was about 5'10. He was a bit taller than 5'10 Sally Kellerman.... so maybe about a half inch or so above this mark.

Glenn says on 24/May/06
He's dead Dominic.and he was about my height in the last 10 years.I met him.

Dominic says on 23/May/06
He use to be 5'10.5 to 5'11, now he is probably 5'9.5 to 5'10. This height is correct. I don't think he is now closer to 5'8. In back to school a kid says 'hey, your the one that makes those obnoxious commercials! Your tall and fat! And he replies "well your short and ugly!"

Glenn says on 8/May/06
Closer to 5-8 the last ten years of his life.

I heard him tell David Letterman years ago he was 6'2" which is the same as David Letterman according to Letterman but I don' think Dangerfield was six two and I don't think Letterman is six two.
