"The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching."
~ Dave Chappelle
Great and controversial comedian, Dave Chappelle needs no introduction. He is the recipient of numerous accolades, including five Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards as well as the coveted Mark Twain Prize.
For some reason, you never think of comedians as tall but Dave Chappelle surely looks kind of tall (especially on stage). He isn't very tall but he is still above average height -- but exactly by how much?
We thought Dave was around the 6 feet mark but after a careful inspection of his height and comparisons with some other interesting people, like Joe Rogan (5'7"), Jimmy Fallon (5'11½"), Jerry Seinfeld (6'1"), we think he looks slightly above the 5'11" mark -- just around as tall as Jimmy Fallon.
The real height of Dave Chappelle is
5'11¼" or 181 cm
