Harvey Korman, at an exact 6ft 3 (190.5 cm), was a towering presence in American comedy, leveraging his height for physical humor and memorable characters.
His lanky stature amplified his comedic timing on The Carol Burnett Show, earning four Emmys, where sketches often highlighted his imposing frame alongside co-stars.
In Mel Brooks films like Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, and History of the World: Part I, Korman's height added to his versatile portrayals of authority figures and buffoons.
Throughout his career in TV and film, including Herbie Goes Bananas and Curse of the Pink Panther, his 6ft 3 build enhanced his image as a giant of laughter.
