Newhart at 5ft 7 and change and Rickles at 5ft 6 is probably as high as I'd go for them. Newhart could look over an inch taller than Rickles, but as much as 5ft 7 ½? He never struck me as close to a 5ft 8 guy. In Thursday's Game, I think 5ft 7 for Newhart and 5ft 10 ½ for Gene Wilder generally checks out. Click Here
On Newhart (show), I think Newhart still seemed 5ft 7 range even in his late 50s/early 60s, although the difference with 5ft 6 ½ Peter Scolari could look pretty touch and go in a few episodes. Click Here Click Here Click Here

Rob, there’s a good case to upgrade both Newhart and Rickles.

Here's a photo I like of Bob and Dua Lipa in 2019. Click Here
Yeah, he was certainly taller than Rickles, so somewhere around 5ft 7 is pretty plausible. Not much shorter than Marcia Wallace in heels either. Glad he finally has a page.

What year was the claim from, Rob?
In prime he might have cleared that mark depending on when he claimed 5’7”. Great add!
