He has 2 children by his first wife, model Ann Pennington, and 1 child by his second wife, actress Susan Diol. He died from cancer and was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery. Among his credits are the hit CBS shows Cold Case and The Agency.

He received six Emmy Award nominations for the role, winning the Emmy Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Comedy", in 1973 and 1976.

He starred in the popular Hardy Boys television series from 1978, and made his Broadway debut in 1993 in a production of Blood Brothers. His role as the vain and untalented newscaster, Ted Baxter, in The Mary Tyler Moore Show brought Knight widespread recognition, and his greatest success. He achieved two further top ten singles with cover versions of Eric Carmen's "That's Rock 'N' Roll" and "Hey Deanie" the same year. His film career failed to take off, however his distinctive speaking voice brought him work as an announcer, and he worked frequently in such television series as Bonanza and Get Smart. He released several successful singles in the late 1970s with his first single, a cover version of The Crystals "Da Do Ron Ron", hit #1 in the United States in 1977, and, like David, became a major teen idol. Born Tadeus Wladyslaw Konopka in Terryville, Connecticut, Knight made one of his earliest screen appearances in an uncredited role as a guard in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). He went to the same High School as Angelina Jolie, Nicolas Cage, David Schwimmer and Lenny Kravitz. Ted Knight (December 7, 1923–August 26, 1986) was an American actor.

The eldest of Broadway entertainer Jack Cassidy's and actress Shirley Jones's three sons, Cassidy was inspired by the success of his half-brother David Cassidy of the Partridge Family. Shaun Paul Cassidy (born September 27, 1958 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer and actor.
