When appearing in an interview with friend Dax Shepard they said they were the same height, Shepard adding that that height was 6'2.5" as he was measured he said elsewhere. The accuracy of this I'm not sure, I can see Koecher at 6'2.25" though.

If Will Ferrel was ever 6'3 i believe Koechner was ever 6'2.25" probably rounded down 6'2 claim but could be at least 6'2 now at 57 if he started to lost height.

He made a guest appearance in The Middle. He absolutely towered over Patricia Heaton, I actually thought he was taller than 6'5 Neil Flynn.

I remember the days Koechner listed everywhere at 6'2 1/2 and i could buy the listing that if he didn't had a modest claim at 6'2. That shows his humble that weir thing is that he call Ferrell 6'4 and Ferrell is at most 6'2 3/4 not even a full 6'3 now.

He looks an honest 6’2” and If anything under its maybe 1/8” which isn’t noticeable. It baffles me that Ferrell appeared 2” taller than him when he’s 6’3”

Koechner look more like 6'2 1/4 and maybe 6'2 now. Ferrell i always thought of 6'2 3/4 not seeing him really shrunk a half inch at all. There is only half inch between this two comedian buddy.

Rob, if Ferrell has lost a little bit, isn't it possible Koechner has aswell since he's a bit older?
Personally I think Ferrell was and still is about 190cm while this guy was 188-189cm

I think he’s an honest 6’2”er but It still beats me how he thought Ferrell was 2” taller than him when Ferrell frequently claimed 6’3”. Im thinking his guess may have been Ferrell’s height in boots.

Strange that david koechner quoted will ferrell being 6'4 and himself 6'2 where at most one inch between them not 2". Maybe koechner find that will ferell look 6'3.5 to him so he round him up at 6'4?

He is a tall guy even without the hair no less than 6 1 .5 can appear 6 3 around short guys like carrell.
The John Wayne thing is weird and weirder its true he stands kinda like the duke.. you know if he was bald early and odd looking.
This guy is funny but he is no peter boyle, height wise and stance he could be mirroring.

Didn't look much under Zachary Levi on Chuck but I don't know what their footwear was, I thought he looked bigger in comparison to Levi than Rob Riggle did.

Yea Rob, I think his assessment of being 2" shorter than Will Ferrell, by the above quote admission, was closer to correct. I'd say he's 6'1" if Will is 6'2.5"

Editor Rob I think with a cowboy heel he could look taller than his claim, but looking at him I think 6ft 2 is fair game for him.
MrTBlack said on 23/Jul/14
Yeah. He's being honest about his height however, he should know that Ferrell is 6'3" since rafts what he claimed so *shrugs* beats me how he overestimated Ferrells height.

He seems to have lost considerable height. All footwear accounted for, he actually held his own next to Will Ferrell in Anchorman 1 and looked like a strong 6'2" if not a 6'2.5" there, but in Anchorman 2 he seemed to be a weak 6'2" or 6'1.5" at best.

My 187 cm estimation makes sense now that he's claimed 6'2. He looks a little more than 1-2 cm shorter than Ferrell and barefoot he looked a little taller than 6'ish Jason Sudeikis in shoes, in 'A Good Old Fashioned Orgy'.

in Anchorman i thought he was mildly taller than ferell? to me on my opinion that ferell was never what he claim to be(6ft3)but can often apear a good 6ft2 and Koechner look nothing under 6ft2.25

Ferrell has him by about half an inch I think, that makes Koechner 6'2.25" - 6'2.5".

he appeared 6"4 ish in ancherman comapred to will, but he was waering lifts, in another film, the comebacks, he appeared to be a very similar height to 6"1 ish carl weathers, id go with that tbh
6'4 is a joke right? He was a hair below Ferrell in Anchorman who is ~6'3.

I've seen Koechner perform as a part of the improv group Beer Shark Mice. I'm between 6'3 and 6'4 and he wasn't much shorter than me. Probably between 6'2 and 6'3.

Dude's clearly tall, but you can't go by Anchorman; he's clearly lifting. Check out his shoes! The heels are huge, as are Paul Rudd's.

At some points in anchorman koechner appears to be a little taller than ferrel, i think he is 6'3 because ferrell is 6'3.5 right?
