How tall is Conan O'Brien - Page 6

Anonymous said on 21/Jun/17
@Canson: I just had a thought that maybe Conan got measured wrong and thinks he might be a different height. Sometimes doctors aren't that great at measurements. I had been told for years at different doctors that I'm 6'4" or 6'5" but the other day, I decided to check for myself. I whipped out a metric tape and put it to my head and I was exactly 188 cm or 6'2". Don't know how they could have been that wrong, but it happened. Nobody ever called me out on being less than 6'4", but, I'm really 6'2". Maybe something similar happened to Conan and he never checked it out himself? There's nothing wrong with any height, it's just a number. I'm surprised to find out I'm over 2 inches smaller than I was told and exactly 2 inches shorter than I self reported, but it doesn't really make any difference. Except I know my true height better now.

Liam hemsweorth is just modest 6'3 and conan is sure a little bit taller dead on 6'3-1/4 only those camera angle favor on conan to put him look 6'4 next to liam.

@Canson
Im sorry but there is no way Liam is only 190 . His brother is arguably he falls to a Weaker range of 6'3 , but Liam himself is no less than a flat 6'3 . If you Take a look on him beside someone Like Josh Duhamel or Jeff Goldblum you Will see That 6'3-6'3.5 is possible . 6'4
However is madness

@Christian, Canson and Rising.

Good rationale, pics and video submissions to lend support to your opinion. Thanks. Just to be clear I don't need or want Liam to be taller than O'Brien but it's just something I have gleaned from viewing various pics of the two together, pics of them with other celebs and particularly pics/videos of them with Goldblum. IMO, Liam always looks either equal and sometimes a bit taller than Goldblum, worst case, maybe a smidge shorter - however, on the flipside, to me, Conan always looked clearly shorter than Goldblum. Bottom line, as they compare to Goldblum, Liam appears to stand taller than Conan.

If O'Brien is in fact taller than Liam and I could see that without reasonable question, that would be fine - and I am not dismissing the offered photos and video out of hand - they're worthy submissions and carry their weight in proportion. I will say that in the video, Conan does appear to stand a bit taller than Liam but, imo, it is Liam's posture that is obviously well compromised, posturing to embrace both Lawrence and O'Brien at either side and in fact leaning to his right to accommodate the shorter Lawrence. At the same time, I think Conan is assuming a pretty straight posture himself.
I'm not sure how to link photos or if it's sorted after post is submitted but here's a link to a small montage of photos with Liam and Conan which seem to indicate Liam to be taller - I say "seem to" because they are not full length, so there could be the usual x factors involved. I won't be an apologist for Hemsworth or try to suggest he is taller than what he actually is but I think his posture is generally less than ideal and when he straightens up from time to time it can make quite the difference. I also think Liam continued to grow beyond the accepted average age - even after hitting his 20s, Liam seemed to have gained a progressive and ultimately clear edge over his bro Chris but I notice more often than not that he still seems to slouch/tilt in toward Chris for photos - so that varying edge may have more to do with Liam standing properly straight or not. Chris, on the other hand, seems to stand very straight most of the time.
Anyway, here's the link which I hope takes you to the photos in question.

If he said "I'm about 6'4" but I'm not" that sounds like an admission that he might fall just short of the mark. Still I can't see him going any lower than 192.5 cm

RisingForce said on 18/Jun/17
That photo with Conan is one of the few decent full ones. Plus, Conan has noticeably worse posture. Here's another one taken from a straighter angle, but Conan is still taller with that slouch: Click Here And here's another: Click Here Conan is getting a camera advantage from being closer in that last one, but I still get the impression he was taller. Better yet, here's video showing Conan taller: Click Here (15 second mark)

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Jun/17
Liam Hemsworth could be anywhere in the 6ft3-3½ range but not quite a 6ft4 guy. Conan I'm gonna guess is closer to 6ft4 than 6ft3. But he's been consistently edged out by other real 6ft4 guys in the past like Goldblum, Neeson and Lithgow so he possibly falls into the 6ft3¾ zone.

Canson said on 18/Jun/17
@Tall in the Saddle: Liam's really 192/193? I would've had him around 190cm prob and Conan about 191 but maybe I'm wrong

Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 18/Jun/17
@Tall In The Saddle

It's strange, because Liam usually looks 6'3" when standing next to everyone else.

Tall In The Saddle said on 16/Jun/17
@Christian

I can only reiterate, clearly taller than O'Brien and on par with Goldblum which puts Liam reasonably into the 6'3.75" to 6'4" range.

Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 15/Jun/17
@Tall In The Saddle

Hemsworth at 6'4" is too high. No taller than 6'3".

Tall In The Saddle said on 15/Jun/17
Re shot of Hemsworth and O'Brien. I think Liam is still clearly taller when one appreciates and makes simple allowance for the angle of the shot. If that's not obvious to all from that particular photo there are several other, flat view shots of the pair which show Liam to be obviously taller than O'Brien by at least a good 1 inch.

As to Liam's height, he is on par with Jeff Goldblum (plenty of pics to support this). At whatever height you currently place Goldblum, he himself is also still clearly taller than O'Brien. If Goldblum has lost any height, I wouldn't say that it would be more than 1/4 inch and it's likely that Goldblum was 6'4 and 1/4" at his absolute peak. At worst I would peg Hemsworth at 6'3 and 3/4" but just as easily accept that he is in fact a full 6'4". As to O'Brien, he's somewhere between 6'3" and 6'3 and 1/4" with numerous cross references in support.

Canson said on 14/Jun/17
@Rising Force: Conan may be a hair taller but the angle magnifies him there making him appear taller than Liam. My guess is Liam is prob not a full 6'3. I'd go as high (based on how Conan looks with real 6'4s) as 6'3.25 like Christian had him. He's taller than Liam tho I agree

Matthew Robinson said on 14/Jun/17
RisingForce with another example of how Conan is obviously taller than just 6'3". There are several examples that show he isn't quite as tall as a full 6'4". He's a 192 cm guy to me, safely 6'3.5" - perhaps 6'3.75"at a push. You might say it's ridiculous to think you could spot the difference between 192 and 193 cm but when you see a trend of him repeatetly a tad shy of 193 cm guys and it's not due to posture or footwear, it becomes obvious.

RisingForce said on 14/Jun/17
Conan may be shorter than 6'4" guys, well, at least he did genuinely seem shorter than Lithgow to me, but he's taller than a 6'3" guy like Liam Hemsworth: Click Here Rob has Liam at 191 cm. I haven't looked enough to see if I agree with that or more a flat 6'3", but either way, it seems most regard Liam as at least 6'3".

Canson said on 13/Jun/17
@Arch: only problem there is that Conan is shorter than not only Hoff but was looking up at Selleck and Neeson. Now Neeson I see as my hehight in his prime maybe at worst 6'4-6'4.25. But Conan also acknowledges selleck is taller than him and said what are you 6'4/6'5 to selleck then selleck says 6'4" but has also claimed 6'3.5. I think he's between the two at his peak. I agree with SJH because Conan claimed 6'4-6'4.5 once that's definitely a show height and he has long hair as well. I agree with Christian tho maybe 6'3.25 peak and was a morning 192 who rounded his height up to 6'4". Problem is a lot of people may claim it meaning celebs but just be Morning rounded up too and we base off them. I can see Segal being taller than Conan too peak as well as Haysbert and lithgow for sure was in his show noticeably

Arch Stanton said on 10/Jun/17
On the contrary I don't think I've ever seen Conan look 6'3 flat, to me he generally looks 6'4.

Canson said on 9/Jun/17
@Matthew Robinson: I agree with Christian peak height was what he had him 6'3.25. He does look strong 6'3. Remember that Conan has long hair that makes him appear taller

184guy said on 9/Jun/17
Unless he uses lifts , he is over 6'3 even today

S.J.H said on 9/Jun/17
@Canson

I think he just get measure with shoe at 6'4-4.5 range and claim it like others doing it too, that is why we see it how the very first time kobe/charles barkley attend his show they easily look nearly 2' taller than conan. Absolute max he can be 6'3.25 and the hoff might be slightly weak 6'4 with conan or hoff had slightly less footwear.

Matthew Robinson said on 8/Jun/17
I disagree that he never looked over 6'3". Check him out next to Zachary Levi for example (Rob has met him and lists him at 6'3" - so certainly I think he's at minimum 6'2.5"). Conan definitely looked taller than 6'3" next to him.

He does however, consistently look a little shorter than legit 193 or 194 cm range guys. Liam Neeson and David Hasselhoff for example. Both are solidly 6'4", and both were slightly taller than Conan (perhaps 1 - 1.5 cm). Josh Homme - at 194 cm looked at minimum a half inch taller than Conan but I'd say realistically pretty close to a full inch than just a half. Kobe Bryant at 195 cm, looks 3 cm taller easy. All adds up to Conan at around 6'3.5" - perhaps 6'3.75" giving him all the benefit of that doubt. 6'3" flat is too low, unless he's shrunk within the past few years.

Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 7/Jun/17
@Canson

I wouldn't call a 6'3.25" person claiming 6'4" as inflating. After all, he's 6'4" out of bed. Anything higher than your morning height is inflating, like when he claimed 6'4 1/2" once.

Canson said on 6/Jun/17
Agree with SJH. He's always inflated his height never looks over 6'3" honestly

Tall In The Saddle said on 5/Jun/17
Reading through a number of previous posts, IMO, Canson, via several posts, has consummately broken this down with the correct conclusions in terms of true height and the psychology behind Conan's attempted "inflations". I'm basically agreeing with and encapsulating those sentiments. O'Brien is not 6'4" as a number of clearly taller, self touted and stoically maintained 6'4" guests on his show have proven by the mere physical presence. That Conan wants to be accepted as at least 6'4", albeit false, is obvious - so much so, Conan has tried to suggest that several of his 6'4" are taller than their own, self proclaimed heights in order to maintain the preferred "status quo". Conan is selling but his guests, to a man, were not buying. That's refreshing. They didn't seem so nearly fixated on their own height (if at all) as Conan was but they showed absolute conviction behind and adherence to their true height.

Sorry, but I have to return to the back to back shot of Hoff and Conan - Hoff is clearly taller, if Conan is "higher" at any point in the frame of reference, it is simply due to the effect of the angle and height of the shot and the fact that Conan is closer to camera - the brain can easily and quickly adjust for same. The effect of the angle/height of the camera is somewhat negated at the exact point in space in which Hoff and Conan's backs contact, moving up from that Hoff's shoulders are clearly higher by at least 1 ".
To appreciate the skew factor, the set in the background which we would otherwise understand to be level shows a clear downward slope from right to left within the frame of reference - clearly favouring Conan both on the right and the foreground. Not to be dismissed out of hand is the fact that Hoff looks straight ahead, standing with full conviction while Conan clearly looks to the monitors to check and find that he is falling short which then gives him cause to do a last second tip toe and then quickly recedes from the comparison.
I'll add that Conan is also prone to focusing in how "tiny" some of his previous guests have been - commenting in particular on the larger than life action hero types such as Stallone etc. and musing how much smaller they are in real life. I think his address of these actors goes beyond trivial - it's meant to "squish" them down and maintain Conan's status as a clearly bigger man - when a guest of comparable or greater height attends the show Conan often comments on how "refreshing" it is to have a fellow big person on after playing host to a string of virtual munchkins. Looking at both ends of the spectrum (small guest to large) it's a tear down and build up process respectively.
Anyway, I agree that Lithgow is true 6'4" guy. There are number of pics of Lithgow and Cleese as solid evidence - Cleese is taller but there is barely an inch between them - which corroborates Cleese's self opined height of 6' 4 & 3/4" (Cleese - literally and comically a pedantic man). I remember first noting Lithgow in The World According to Garp and thinking yeah, he's a big dude all round. Since then however, it really isn't something that remains uppermost in mind, it's Lithgow's acting ability and real life persona that are by far his most transcendent qualities. The irony of Lithgow voicing the character of the laughably short Lord Farquaad in Shrek was hilarious.

S.J.H said on 5/Jun/17
My 6'5 youngest brother seem to look several inches taller than conan. I can easily spot height between 6'2-6'5 as it runs in my family (4 brothers). Conan is really not over 6'3 and almost 6'5 with that tall hair.

Canson said on 1/Jun/17
Selleck was taller than Conan. Conan was at best a strong 6'3" peak and has long hair and odd proportions. You can tell with every 6'4" guy edging him and he goes out of his way to give people an inch until they say it back now it's I'm 6'4 but I'm not. He's not.

Canson said on 1/Jun/17
Lithgow was a legit 6'4" that is for sure as was Hoff. Conan never was. But I will also say I've seen the other side where I saw John laroquette walk right past my parents and me in the airport. My father peak was a full 6'4" at his lowest maybe 1/8" over and he looked a hair taller when he walked past. He's more 194/195 guy than flat 193.

RisingForce said on 31/May/17
Now Lithgow in both 1997 and 2005 seems the clearest to me. In particular in 2005, Conan seems to stand tall and compare, but Lithgow seems a fair amount taller.

RisingForce said on 31/May/17
I didn't see an inch at all between Hoff and Conan, but I'll have to look up Lithgow. Lithgow still looked like he had to be very close to 6'4" or still that tall when he appeared on Dexter at age 63, he made everyone look short, including Keith Carradine who was definitely around 6'1", so I have no doubt Lithgow was 6'4". As for Selleck, I think he's just an honest guy when he comes to his height and used the exact figure a couples of times, but then rounds from a 1/2" to an inch other times. Selleck could look every bit of 6'4" to me, and I've seen him described as 6'5" in newspapers, but he could also definitely look under 6'4" at times.

Canson said on 30/May/17
@Rising Force: maybe he did I wasn't aware. He could've done I thinking 6'4" was too tall. But selleck doesn't look as tall as hoff or lithgow both of whom have Conan by a solid inch thereabouts

RisingForce said on 14/May/17
Tall in the Saddle, thanks, I appreciate it, but my point is only that we have to adjust and if we can't tell who is taller by the top of their heads then it's not ideal. If I had to guess who was taller regardless, I'd guess Hoff as he's still looking near 6'4" at age 60-61 with Rob and he didn't have much footwear with Conan, perhaps less than Conan did, but I think the two are very close, no more than a half inch tops, imo. As for Selleck, he claimed 6'3.5" in both 1981 and 1987, Canson, so why would he downgrade himself when there's no motive to do so? Selleck didn't look a legit 6'4" next to a 5'10" Patrick Swayze and he could look only a little taller than 6'2.5" Ted Danson. As for the clip, Selleck does genuinely seem taller than Conan to me, including eye level as I watch it again, but Adam mentioned Selleck looked down, but as soon as Conan reached out to shake his hand, he bent forward and never straightened up himself, plus he's away from the camera. I can see why some are convinced Selleck is taller, but I just wouldn't discount what a camera can do. If both men are 6'3.5" then Selleck would be taller anyway considering the thicker boot he was wearing, but I can't give Selleck any taller than 6'3 5/8" or 6'3 3/4" because he must have measured a fraction under 6'4" to give 6'3.5" as his height twice during a time period he was one of the top television stars. But how can we discount Conan looking clearly taller than Dolph Lundgren in 2009? Lundgren was still a bare minimum 6'3", very possibly 6'3.5" at the time as I've shown comparing Dolph to Terry Crews a year later as well as Hasselhoff 3 years later. I think Dolph had bad posture the entire time, but still, everyone who has seen the clip was convinced Conan was taller. Posture, angles and footwear collectively can all make pretty big differences, that's what this forum is for. I'm just not willing to conclude too much based on any one comparison that has a few variables, but as I said, watching it again, I do see it as a logical conclusion to draw that Selleck was taller, but not definitive.

Tall In The Saddle said on 14/May/17
Rising - thanks for supplying the pic of Hoff and Conan back to back. I respect your opinion but I still "see" Hoff standing clearly taller than Conan in that pic. No, the angle of that particular screenshot isn't ideal but I think our brains can reasonably adjust for same. The combination of lower angle and Conan closer to camera does allow for Conan's head to stand higher in that particular frame of reference - but I think it's obvious that the angle/proximity has caused that - it's not even an illusion because our brains generally allow and adjust for it and, at the least, we know that as we approach a more ideal frame of reference that is level with their heads and with Hoff and O'Brien equal distance from camera , Conan will progressively lose his "advantage" and the top of his head will become lower and lower. Also, note that their shoulders are pinned together so the effect of the camera height and angle is somewhat negated and Hoff's shoulders are still clearly higher. Anyway, just my opinion.

Matthew Robinson said on 13/May/17
The only thing definitive in the Selleck clip is when Conan implied he wasn't a legit 6'4" with his quote. "I'm about 6'4" but I'm not" typically means that he's measures a fraction under 6'4".

Adam said on 13/May/17
@Rising Force, there's nothing inconclusive about Selleck being right in Conan's face and looking down at him.

Canson said on 13/May/17
Selleck is taller than Conan. Conan admitted it. Selleck likely was a solid 6'4 peak no worse than 6'3.75. Conan is just not as tall as he claims to be never has been anything over maybe 191cm peak. He's a strong 6'3" peak maybe a flat 6'3 today or between 190.5-191

RisingForce said on 11/May/17
Doesn't mean the camera man knows an ideal angle to compare height and picked one. Remember, most people don't have the same interest in height and knowledge of the subject that we do. Here's a screenshot: Click Here The angle actually makes it look like Conan is taller going by the top of their heads, which you can see looking at where the frame cuts off. If it was more level and not on Conan's side we could tell more conclusively, but I'm certainly not seeing proof of Hasselhoff being taller. The Selleck comparison was much less conclusive because they didn't have good posture since there was bending for the handshake and again, they weren't equal distances from the camera. Selleck also looked to have boots which could give him an advantage as well. I don't rule out 6'3.5" for Conan, but no lower and I'm really not seeing the big deal in these clips.

Tall In The Saddle said on 9/May/17
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. For height comparison which was the express purpose, the proximity, angle and assumed postures of Hoff and Conan standing back to back were very practical. Remember too, they could see themselves on the monitors, O'Brien himself saw Hoff's obvious advantage which gave Conan cause to get up on his toes. Hoff simply stayed planted. IMO, Selleck was obviously taller also. Again, enter Conan's own testimony - enquiring if Selleck was in fact 6'5" as opposed to Conan's own, self touted 6'4". I saw that both Hoff and Selleck were clearly taller and to affirm that perception, O'Brien's own words and actions indicated that he saw it that way also.

RisingForce said on 6/May/17
I don't believe Selleck was any taller than 6'3.5", since he said so himself at least twice during the 80s. I watched the Conan clip and I couldn't tell clearly their height as Conan bends a bit to greet him and shake hands and then the angle was too tricky as it showed Selleck from the back and Conan from the front, not at equal distances, plus Selleck looked to have a pretty thick boot when you see his shoes towards the end of the clip. Not a cowboy boot, but probably a bit more than Conan's dress shoes. But remember, Conan was taller than Dolph Lundgren back in 2009! And Dolph when he stood straight was still at the very least 6'3", possibly 6'3.5". To demonstrate this, look at Dolph in 2012 with David Hasselhoff, who Rob thought was still around 6'4" the following year: Click Here Click Here I just watched the video where he's back to back with Hasselhoff too and they look pretty similar to me and both have a bit of extra hair, but unfortunately a more direct angle would be better to settle it. At least Hasselhoff had shoes that wouldn't add much. But I don't see anything compelling enough to make me doubt Conan was 6'4". Not that I've looked at him enough to rule out a possible 192 cm range either.

Matthew Robinson said on 2/May/17
I think there's enough evidence to warrant at least knocking a quarter inch off this listing. Between his admission to Tom Selleck that he's about 6'4" but not, his admission that Liam Neeson was taller than him. Check him out next to an actual 6'4.5" guys like Dennis Hayesbert or Josh Homme, 6'4.75" guys like Kobe Bryant or Charles Barkley... You can see that a solid 6'4" looks a little bit of a reach. I think 6'3.5" - 6'3.75" range is a lot believable, perhaps he's shrunk a mite under this by now though.

Canson said on 26/Apr/17
@Adam: Conan has longer hair than Hoff and when they stood back to back was still shorter than him

Anonymous said on 25/Apr/17
I agree with you Canson! Having seen your post on the John Larroquette page, I will also say that after watching a bit of Night Court lately, I'm pretty sure Harry Anderson would be taller than Conan. If Harry wasn't a full 6'4", he was darn close. He was visibly taller than Vincent Schiavelli. And he looked 6'4" next to 5'9.5" Harold Gould. Conan doesn't look as tall as Harry.

Adam said on 25/Apr/17
If Conan is the yardstick for Hasselhoff and Selleck, there is no difference between the two. Why would Hasselhoff's apparent edge over Conan on stage be credible but Selleck's equally apparent edge not? The other clip of Conan with Selleck does not give the same clear perspective of the two face to face or shoulder to shoulder. The very best evidence is where they meet on stage, face to face and Selleck looking down to Conan. There was no incline, but if there was, the incline must have also benefitted Hasselhoff in his pic with Conan.

Canson said on 25/Apr/17
@184guy: this is the video with pippen. Conans hair makes it tough to accurately gauge their difference

Click Here

Canson said on 25/Apr/17
@184 guy: agree on Vaughan. I think peak weak 6'5 probably taller than me peak but today he's 6'4" ish. Hoff it's thought to get the read. I would've said 193 at his low. You make great points. I also noticed with conan on occasion as well as Letterman they both have stood on an incline when greeting guests. But letterman more than Conan. I saw pippen with Conan too and looked 4" imho maybe 3.5. I don't believe pippen at his peak was 6'7.5 (he was an entire inch shorter than Malone was) I do think he was about full 6'7" tho (worst maybe 6'6.75) so Conan would be around 192 when that was shot (when pippen ripped the celtics jacket off of him). I have never been able to tell pippen because he could look taller at times but he has had 2 major back and some knee surgies

Canson said on 21/Apr/17
@Anonymous: I agree. I'm a hair under 194 at my lowest normally (Not extreme low tho). Neeson I believe in his prime if I stood next to him we wouldn't be able to tell who was taller but Conan prime 192 is even pushing it imho. SJH is right most of the time imho (he guesses logically based on how he sees people) and here he is right as are you sure As is Bobby3342 and Christian. My honest opinion is he was 191-192 peak and is 191 today tops. But if he's any lower it's between 190.5-191. He may not be as low as 6'3 and is a strong 6'3" probably. His hair can fool people. But with this site (I along with Bobby) have said this many times people generally take a claim someone they respect gives and assumes it's their true low height and then bell curves everyone else around them meaning makes other people taller. Hence Conan may only be 192 morning height and round up to 6'4 meaning he isn't even that full 6'4 a couple hours out of bed I don't believe Conan has lost significant height personally and if he did it's maybe 1/4". Now some people here will say you can use whatever you measure however if that's the case they shouldn't be using wools and pictures to compare others then. But When I say 191-192 that is 6'3.5ish or slightly less since 6'3.5 isn't quite 192.

I believe both man had the same amount on Conan,about 3 cms.

184guy said on 21/Apr/17
@Canson , actually I said that he looked about the same as Selleck, in 1998. One thing that I have noticed is that when someone goes to the show,they generally put the cam nearer the guest and Conan stands a bit Further away to Greet.I Would say he looked shorter than Hassle but this one could have been potentially taller than 6'4 since he still looked every bit of 6'4 With Rob in a old age, including a slightly leaning. Conan also looked about the same as Vince Vaughn who could have been a weak 6'5 and now a flat 6'4er.He still could be 192 since he looked about 1-1.25 shorter than 195 Joe Manganiello.

Anonymous said on 21/Apr/17
Hmm, I think you may be right. Hasselhoff could sometimes give off a taller impression. But, I just saw him looking pretty much the same height as David Ogden Stires in a Perry Mason episode. I think Stires may have been close to 6'4" at his peak (he looked 6'4" next to John Matuszak and he had a significant footware disadvantage), but certainly not over. That puts Hasselhoff at a respectable 6'4", but not as tall as Neeson.

S.J.H said on 21/Apr/17
@Canson said on 19/Apr/17
Hasselhoff was 193. Conan at absolute best was 192 prime


Yeah and i even think conan is only 6'3 flat since 2009 the video i posted kobe on his show. Is possible he claim 194cm with shoes and 191cm barefoot he didn't care about the time he measure but was down to 6'3 afternoon and i would rule out 190cm min with kobe and barkley unless he had less heel on them. I've never see andy richter look 9cm shorter than conan before at most 8cm or right at 3 inches even he claim to loss half inch at 6'0.5. Richter may not be what he claim 6'1 peak , honestly he doesn't look that tall as i have a real 6'1 brother and richter look more like my 6'0 my cousin range and might be 5'11.75 now that makes a 6'3 conan , actors like liam hemsworth may not be as well as think because conan edge him out like a 1/4 or fraction. Hemsworth is more like 6'2.5-.75 def not 0.75 under conan , conan sustain at 6'2.75-6'3 and i have see couples of picture he look max 3cm shorter than a current vince vaughn who struggle to look over 6'4 nowadays

@Anonymous: maybe hoff was over but not sure. I'd go 192 for Hoff today in pics. He never struck me as being as tall prime as Neeson

@Canson: I could see Hasselhoff at a hair over 6'4" at peak and 6'4" now. But, completely agreed on Conan. I could see Liam, Goldblum, and Hasselhoff between 6'4" and 6'4.5" at peak. They all could have been over 6'4" a little bit, or 6'4", but no less. Conan, 6'3.5" possibly peak. Tom Selleck 6'4" peak and 6'3" now.

Canson said on 19/Apr/17
Hasselhoff was 193. Conan at absolute best was 192 prime

berta said on 19/Apr/17
i think you can see in that clip with david hasselhoff back to bakc even if the angle is weird it seems pretty clear that hasselhoff is taller. i can see hasselhoff as 194 and conan barely 193 maybe? conan over 193 is hard to believe when he was shorter than liam neeson and jeff goldblum with atleast half inch 10 years back.

Canson said on 18/Apr/17
@SJH: agreed. At most 6'3.25.

S.J.H said on 18/Apr/17
Click Here 0:40 , 0:41 , 0:42 clearly see Howard Stern look 2 inches taller than Conan O'Brien. Conan is 6'3 not more. Stern is probably 6'5.25 peak and 6'5 since few years back

@Canson: That's a nice, balanced way to view it. I have trouble in a lot of cars myself though, at 6'3.75". (Was a stronger 6'4" before but I've got a dowager type of thing going on.) My problem is that I'm all legs and not much torso. Also, I have short arms. So, I have to put the seat all the way back for my legs and then my arms are completely extended to hold the wheel. And they way they design seats these days is extremely uncomfortable on my back. There is definitely enough space for me in vehicles, but still not comfortable. Trucks and old cars are much better.

Canson said on 17/Apr/17
@Anonymous: I don't begrudge him either. I don't view height as a characteristic against that should degrade or judge someone it's a number to me nothing more. My only thing with Conan is he inflates others like Wlad or Neeson or even Selleck to make himself taller which is the only issue I have. I don't think that is cool at all esp after someone who is telling the truth has already claimed their real height and you're going behind them making them taller in an insincere way. Another thing he does is he exaggerates himself like saying he's too tall to fit in a 7 series Beamer etc. I drive a 5 series at 6'4-6'4.5 and it's comfy for me. I have also had a 350Z before (it was a bit tight but not terribly). I still fit. Also my 6'6" friend drives a 7 series himself and doesn't even drive with the seat full reclined as it's more than enough room for him. And when I say he's 6'6" he's a good 6'6" maybe dropping here and there to 6'5 7/8 at night after a long day. Others he's bang on 6'6" on a normal day at his low (6'6 3/4 out of bed).

Anonymous said on 16/Apr/17
@Canson Exactly! I did believe Conan at 6'4" until seeing him with Tom Selleck. If Conan was a solid 6'4"-6'4.5" as he claimed, he should have looked taller than Selleck, but he looked noticeably smaller. Then, I started to notice that Conan didn't look fully 6'4" next to other tall guys. I don't begrudge him the 6'4" claim if he's got a little change over 6'3", but he once actually said "I'm 6'4.5" in my bare feet." That shows that he is very height conscious and wants to be taller.

Christian-196.8cm (6ft5.5)Noon said on 16/Apr/17
Strong 6ft3, he should be downgraded.

Canson said on 15/Apr/17
Agreed Anonomyous. He looks like most other strong 6'3" guys or weak 6'4" who measure in the AM. He also said he's 6'4-6'4.5. I don't know if that's with hair or if that's with shoes on. My guess prime he "may have been 6'3.5 like 184guy also said is a possibility. But I come from the other end of it and say I don't see him being any higher than that whereas most people put him weak 6'4 peak (6'3.5-.75). I have seen him next to a guy like Kobe Bryant who is 6'4.75 and that's a good 1.5" diff so yea maybe Conan was 6'3.5 peak and lost a 1/4" and is 6'3.25 now. He never looked as tall as Hasselhoff or Lithgow or Haysbert imho. But 184guy made a strong point. In different angles he may have looked as tall as Lithgow. Lithgow is older so maybe he lost some but in that same breath I could see a peak Lithgow a hair over 6'4 maybe

Blake said on 14/Apr/17
Rob, if when they measured Jake Gyllenhaal on Conan if they invited you down to the show measure him would you have done it? I know its an unrealistic situation

Anonymous said on 13/Apr/17
@Canson: I think your estimate/observation may be right on the money. Conan definitely looked more like 6'3" tops than 6'4" next to all the other 6'4" guys you mentioned. And he looked nowhere near 6'4" next to Rhett from YouTube who I think is a genuine 6'7". Maybe it could be argued that Conan is a strong 6'3" and pushed 6'4" at his peak. But I also think he can pull off 6'4" because a lot of 5'5"-5'9" guys seem to pad their heights. But with tall guys in his height range, Conan is close but not quite 6'4".

Canson said on 13/Apr/17
@184 guy: it's hard to tell with them. Like you mentioned sometimes it's tough to see a difference with him and another 6'4" or 6'3 guy. I agree stern is 6'5 klitexhko prob 6'5-6'5.25. Conans hair makes it tough to tell sometimes as well. I'd go 191 range maybe and maybe close to 192 peak. He doesn't look like he's lost much height as his posture is still better than a guy like neeson who has lost height. Neeson I totally believe was 6'4.25 prime (193-194) as listed and I always thought he was strong 6'3 more so than a weak 6'4"

184guy said on 12/Apr/17
@Canson sorry but a guy Like Howard stern and Wlad when were in the show were not 2 inches taller than Conan. More Like 3cms, Max 4cms.Thats why I believe If Conan is not 6'4,at worst 192 range. He Was noticiably taller than Goldblum and William Hemsworth recently and they both áre today strong 6'3 guys,no less than 191.He looked a lot taller Like 2inches taller than Zachary Levy in the show (Conan Had about 0.7inches of footwear advantage) and Rob met Zach and belivied That he Was a proper 6'3 guy.But I agree, he looked shorter than Hasslehoff and ,in a video shorter than Selleck but in another That I post below almost identical,Hard to say Who Was taller. I just can see him as low as 190,5

Canson said on 12/Apr/17
@Nick: agreed on this one! He's never been a legit 6'4. Strong 6'3" prime maybe 6'3" flat today

Nick said on 11/Apr/17
I strongly believe that Conan is more like 190/1cm flat and 193cm in shows and with that hair of his. Also is very lean can no more than 80kg. Makes him look taller.

Him being 6'3.75 or 6'4 prime would imply that the slew of 6'4" guys like Lithgow and Neeson and Haysbert and Hasselhoff are all downplaying it then. haysbert Lithgow and hoff are legit 193 prime while Neeson is my height 193.5-194 range. Conan was 191-192 absolute most prime more like 191 and is 190.5 today (solid 6'3"). His hair is the only way he'd see 6'4" barefoot

Sonny Black said on 4/Apr/17

@Rampage: LOL no prob! Yea I could see it being noticeable to some but not all. And I love Conan as an entertainer so not putting him down. He just never appeared to be 6'4" to me. Long list of real 6'4" guys like Haysbert Hasselhoff Neeson (closer to my height of 6'4.33) Lithgow and Selleck have edged him

S.J.H said on 28/Mar/17
Lol the only way he can be 194cm is with his black leather shoes on.

Haha thanks Canson...It would be hardly a noticeable difference though if he we met though!

Canson said on 25/Mar/17
@Rampage: I buy 192 tops peak in his 20s but 194 is a stretch but that's my opinion based on how he's always looked. I don't think he's lost much height tho but that's all my honest opinion. I feel you would comfortably edge him out by 2cm today

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 21/Mar/17
Rob, which is more likely for him at peak 192cm or 194cm?

Canson said on 17/Mar/17
@Tall in the Saddle: I agree.

Canson said on 9/Mar/17
@Tall in the Saddle: If Conan is 6'4" or over it means that every legit 6'4" here and 6'5" is downplaying their own height by a full inch which I know isn't true. And mad props to Cleese for being exact. Sure some would say he should round which I would if that were my lowest or if that close but being around his height (6'4") I totally get it. It's nothing once you're 6'0 maybe 6'2" or over and just becomes ego at that point when someone tells you you have to claim a certain height or its so that you do it to allow the insecure guys who need to inflate themselves for their own security. He could say he's 6'4 or 6'5 truthfully wouldn't make a difference

Canson said on 9/Mar/17
@tall in the Saddle: Cleese looked a legit 195 in his prime and Lithgow a good 193. Which says what you did about Conan's height as it doesn't add up. I doubt Reeve was quite as tall more like 191/192. Maybe a morning measurer. Conan tho always goes out of his way to bring up height and I think he assumes everyone else lies and inflated too like he does. I mean Liam (thought he wa 6'5") wlad (he thought 6'6/6'7) (selleck-6'4/6'5). He inflates others making himself believe his own lie. And unfortunately it has trickled down to this site. I have seen that one too many times than I care to mention in real life and I'm sure you have as well. It frustrates me as well because Im not with all of that and just don't see the value in lying about anything personally much less something like height which is verifiable. Personally even people who measure themselves in the morning and claiming it (if they do it knowingly) are kinda skirting the system in my honest opinion if they know that they are shorter later in the day. I guess most don't know this but the ones who do and then inflate others are the ones i can't stand

Tall In The Saddle said on 8/Mar/17
Canson - No prob. As you have well detailed, too many passive testimonies from guests whose own visible stature and self described height make a uniform argument against 6'4".

Everyone should be as pedantic as John Cleese - supplying an exact 6' 4 & 3/4". Lol. Wouldn't have begrudged the man a round up by 1/4" to 6'5" but it is Mr Cleese after all. A word smith and on point - often, the very essence of his humor. Funny guy. Lithgow carried his own 6'4" height against Cleese's nearly 6'5" without a qualm re either man's height. I wonder if there are any side by side pics of John Cleese and fellow Brit Christopher Lee avail? They should look virtually identical in height.

Anson said on 8/Mar/17
Looks a bit over 6'4.

Canson said on 5/Mar/17
@Tall in the Saddle: thank you for thinking objectively and not just worshipping and buying into his claim. It's refreshing to hear someone admit he's not what he claims as he doesn't look a proper 6'4 next to anyone mentioned here like Haysbert Neeson Mangianello Selleck Goldblum Hoff Lithgow and the list continues. Instead it's that these other guys are 6'4 1/2 and 6'5 and the old adage that Charles Barkley and Kobe Bryant are 6'5-6'6. and him standing on his tip toes next to Hoff or being shorter than selleck or Lithgow along with what you mentioned below: he goes out of his way to ask others around his height how tall they are and normally inflates them to make himself 6'4. To Selleck (who may have not even been a full 6'4) "what are you 6'4/6'5"? Or Neeson "what are you 6'5"?

Tall In The Saddle said on 2/Mar/17
Adam - Yes, Hasselhoff had the clear edge.

Point of interest - when Lithgow guested, Conan observed him to be a "large man" and given same, "refreshing" to have him on as compared to other "smaller" guests. Lithgow politely reciprocated the "compliment" though Lithgow himself was the taller of the two.

Conan went on to say the most of his other celebrity guests are so much smaller, so much so, that he has to cradle them like babies (jokingly mimicking same as he spoke).

When Wilt Chamberlain guested, Conan said something along similar lines - about not being used to having someone so tall and so much taller than himself because all his other guests are usually so much smaller than (Conan) himself.

Suffice to say, and it's not an insult, but I do think Conan somewhat likes the idea of being part of an exclusive big man's club - and why not?. Conan is notably tall but I don't think he quite make it into the 6'4" club from what I've seen.

Blake said on 1/Mar/17
Maybe you leave him at 6 ft 4 peak and now 6 ft 3.75?

Adam said on 26/Feb/17
In 1998 David Hasselhoff was Conan's guest and when he appeared on stage the two of them actually went back to back to determine who is tallest. I will try to make a screen grab to post here. Hasselhoff clearly and convincingly edged Conan so that Conan proceeded to stand on his toes trying to reach the same height as Hasselhoff.

Canson said on 25/Feb/17
@Rey: it's not interesting because Conan lies about his height just like Tall in the Saddle said. Funny when all the legit "6'4" guys edge him in height and he still claims 6'4". That's the world we live in. Nobody is ever not as tall as they claim the person next to them is always taller than they claim to be

Canson said on 25/Feb/17
@Danimal: check out Robert Broome's pics next to Penn. Penn is 6'5 and one person even said he stood on his tippies. Conan prime maybe was 6'3.5. He has long hair which may have been accounted for. He always makes other 6'4" guys 6'4/6'5 or 6'5 just to make himself 6'4 when they say themselves they are 6'4.

@Tall in the Saddle: I agree. 6'3-6'3.5 maximum prime I'd lean closer to 6'3 and maybe 6'4 out of bed and probably was measured early. People automatically assume when someone claims a height that it's barefoot and at their lowest when most likely it's not

Tall In The Saddle said on 23/Feb/17
I've seen enough guests self described as 6'4" to know that Conan wasn't ever 6'4".

Conan refers to own height as 6'4" often enough. Other tall celebs are not so inclined to focus in on or flag wave their own height but they will say how tall they are IF they are asked - and curiously, Conan has asked more than a few of his guests (who clearly edge him) if they are taller than they are popularly believed to be. It's also refreshing to hear those same guests forgo what might be compelling bait and stick exactly to the height they know themselves to be.

I've seen pics of Selleck and Goldblum close enough together to say they're basically equal in height and they both appeared to have the same height advantage over Conan. Same with Hasselhoff. True blue 6'4" guys. Conan isn't/wasn't. I would be confident if you put Lithgow, Selleck, Hasselhoff and Goldblum together you would see them basically the same height with negligible differences across the group. If I could throw in a prime Vincent Price he would also measure up acceptably the same. Further, take any one of that group and they will carry the perception of their 6'4" successfully when measured relative to other celebs - "worst" case scenario for them would be a suggested inflation of their height - because they appeared to stand taller than a celeb who has in fact inflated their own height.

IMO, guys like a Selleck, Goldblum and Co are a minority group. Not just for the fact that they are on the high end of tall but because they stand exactly as advertised and as tall as they are properly prepared to admit to. For mine, they present themselves as extremely reliable "yardsticks" against which other celebs might be compared.

An interesting question is does Conan really believe he is 6'4". Generally we have others measure us and maybe that's the height he was told. Maybe not. At any rate, with more than a few popularly listed 6'4" guests edging him, Conan would have to question the truth of his own height or at least understand that viewers have twigged that he clearly isn't a true 6'4". I saw a post where someone said that Conan edged Goldblum in more recent times. I've not seen the pics but is there any chance that Conan has since found cause to elevate himself to at least the height to which he himself has said (for the longest time) he is?

Just sticking to the dedicated subject of this site. As an entertainer I absolutely love O'Brien. Funny as shigoogle and compellingly crazy. Mad as a cut snake.

@Canson

More specific is conan had his 6'4.25 in his 20s, 30s in the morning and look more 6'3.75 and pushing lower at 6'3.5 nowadays then makes sense he look 1.5" shorter than kobe bryant, charles barkley and atually he look 191cm with them if he had fractionally less footwear the most he can be 6'3.5

Canson said on 24/Jan/17
@Danimal: look at the video with Selleck posted below. Conan clearly says I'm 6'4 but I'm not. Also look at the video with Lithgow. BoTh are 6'4 and taller than Conan as was Neeson who was 6'4.25 like Rob has him listed. So no possibility of Conan being 6'4-6'4.25 maybe 6'3.5-.75 if he were lucky. This is also assuming rob has their heights at their lowest which a lot of these are not. I can see all of the others being 6'4 that were mentioned but not him.

Canson said on 23/Jan/17
No Danimal. He was shorter than Selleck was and select was 6'4 and same with neeson who is 6'4.25. And shorter than Charles Barkley and Kobe by a good inch to inch and a half. Barkley is 6'4.5-.75. I know more than one person who has met him and can prove it along with the way has has been classified by teammates of his as such.

Agree with you 123: he's a 6'3" guy whereas Kobe is near 6'5 (195cm/6'4.75)

Wrong. He was easily 6'4" if not 6'4.5" in the 90's and beyond. In recent years he does appear shorter. He might have dipped under 6'4" today, but to claim he's only 6'3" is FALSE. He had noticeable height on Dolph Lundgren several years ago when Dolph was still close to 6'3" at the time.

Canson said on 31/Dec/16
@Christian: I see my first comment didn't come through. I don't think he's under 6'3 flat 190.5 hence 190-191. I unfortunately don't sip the Kool Aid or try to "honor" a celeb by making them a certain height just because I "want him or her to be". Not saying you do that because you don't. But most people because he is Conan say he's that or even with Tom selleck they conveniently drop him to 6'3.75 to make him "near 6'4" and make Selleck or whoever else taller. I'm sure you being 6'5 are told you are 6'7 or 6'6" often. Now shorter guys may like that but me personally I hate when people lie about their height. But that's just me. I hate having the debate because someone else doesn't measure up and then conveniently inflating the taller person to make their claim believable

Canson said on 30/Dec/16
@Christian: I'd also say that I can see Bobby and Rampage and me all edging him out by at least 2cm, me nearer 3. I see you and Mid 190s being a good 5cm taller (at least).

Canson said on 30/Dec/16
@Christian: not 190 flat prime. I don't believe he was ever under 6'3" prime. 190-191 as mentioned. More specifically 190.5. I think he's a solid 6'3 today. Maybe peak 191-192. You know me. I don't sip on the "admiration for my idol, inflate people" Kool Aid that most fanboys do. Even when the proof is in the pudding and someone like Lithgow or Selleck edge him out and it's clear he isn't 6'4, it becomes "well he must be 6'3.75" and the other guy is a fraction over 6'4" just to conveniently make him 6'4. People don't think for a second that he may have had an early morning measurement and rounded up or measured in shoes. Remember he has said 6'4.5 before which I would need oxygen to revive me from the laughter. But on a morning measurement, Same thing with my 6'3 friend who claims 6'4 where he's 1/8-1/4" taller than another friend who is 190.4 at his lowest and claims 6'3. One is 6'3 flat essentially the other about 6'3.17 and two different claims because one wakes at or near 6'4 and was either measured early or improperly. Bobby said it best on Neeson's page that a peak Conan is 6'2.75-6'3.25. I'd go the latter. I'd say in his prime he woke up to 6'4 (193) and went to bed 191. People don't look at his eye level with guys like Lithgow or Selleck only his hair. Also don't know when he was measured. Based on how he looks with guys who we can verify easier like Kobe Barkley Etc and guys who look their height Neeson Lithgow Selleck Haysbert Mangianello, he doesn't even come close to 6'4.

@Thereel: I'm not disagreeing. He does look significantly taller than Conan.

My opinion is that Conan is lower than he is listed more like 190-191

Are you really sure Conan's only 190?

Another 6'4 guy (who really is 6'4) in John Lithgow that edges Conan out. Losing count now so that's Selleck Haysbert Neeson and their have been more. It's more than likely Conan "really" is 6'3" not 6'4" like he claims

Editor Rob: Kobe could look 4cm taller at times than Conan

---------

If Kobe can look 4cm taller than Conan, then Conan is not a legit 193cm guy, because there's no way that Kobe's as tall as 197cm. Conan should only be about 6ft3.25-6ft3.5, so I would recommend a downgrade.

Thereel said on 28/Dec/16
you don't understand canson Physically Kobe clearly looked different you could just look at there proportions and tell that they were not the same thing, and then there was the actual physical height difference (a good two inches), funny how everyone conviently ignored Kobe being so much tall the first time around in 2009 This is the second time Conan has looked significantly shorter than kobe in 2012

Canson said on 27/Dec/16
@Thereel: it could be camera angle but that's speaking more to 3-4". I agree with you that Kobe has at least 1.5 maybe 2. Conan is 190-191, Kobe 194.5-195cm both barefoot.

Kobe was also two inches taller make of that what you will and don't give me that rubbish about camera angle blah blah blah blah it was two inches and we could see it in the difference between there proportions, Kobe body proportions looked quite different too Conan's, and at times even it really looked 3-4 inches over Conan that Kobe had when Conan started doing the splits with his legs kind off thing

Canson said on 21/Dec/16
@Phil: it's plain obvious and Conan admitted "I'm almost as tall as you".

Dejavu said on 20/Dec/16
He looked taller than Liam hemsworth

Phil said on 19/Dec/16
Adam, i saw it and i have no reason to believe conan is shorter

Adam said on 18/Dec/16
Phil, Selleck is actually looking down to Conan. If you don't believe the picture, have a look at the video on Youtube.

phil said on 17/Dec/16
to all the people saying conan looked shorter than Neeson and Selleck, do you even take into consideration the camera angle?! Conan has always been further from the camera, both on his old show and his new show.

Conan said on 16/Dec/16
@Grizz: I agree with what you said. I think him saying "I'm 6'4" but I'm not" sums it up for him. Think he knows he's 6'3" without shoes or hair. He's very tall range the start of it but most 6'3" range guys barefoot can fit in almost any vehicle no issue. I'm 6'4 and change and I have a friend 196.4 cm (strong 6'5) that fits almost any vehicle as well even if not the most comfortable but he doesn't exaggerate it. But I have another friend who is about two inches shorter than him and an inch or so shorter than me and is at most 6'3-6'3.5 and 270-280 lbs or so and heavy and always says "I'm 6'4 and can't fit in my Car very well anymore" "oh I get my head hitting the roof (his roof is higher than mine in my car btw) or it's not wide enough and he drives a Camry which is a decent size. He claims he needs a SUV because he "thinks" He may have grown lol. No he didn't grow 6'3 still but heavier. Love when people exaggerate how tall they are and think that no one else is as tall as them or deals with the issues tall people deal with. Sorry but after at legitimately 6'4 and change I still have friends and close friends other than the 6'5" one mentioned that are taller than me talking 6'6, almost 6'7 and even a 6'7 and change. Those guys have every reason to complain lol

grizz said on 15/Dec/16
He's very much aware of his height. When he did a tour around Germany, he entered BMW i8 and pretended that it's a very difficult task (given his height). I mean, I get that for super-old tiny cars like Fiat 500, but i8 is a car which even 6'7 guys can sit and drive comfortably.

Canson said on 8/Dec/16
@Mathewrobinson: I agree with you 100%. I also agree that I think at least prime he may have woken to 193 6'4 solid or near it. Today maybe still but I can't see above maybe 191 at night at most 6'3.25. I was just saying and it wasn't directed at you at all, that people here once the quote "I'm 6'4 but I'm not" and the view of him in front of Selleck where he's clearly and noticeably taller people are backing down to 6'3.75 to still "conveniently" make Conan near 6'4. Or it's "Well Tom Selleck must be 6'4.25 or 6'4.5" or Neeson must be "at least 6'4.5" and it's always to make someone else taller I don't actually believe that some people believe the fluff that they post lol. It's like making people taller makes them a better person, actor, athlete, etc when it has no bearing whatsoever

berta said on 7/Dec/16
i think conan almost everytime on his show looks a good 193 guy. sometimes he even looks to be 193,5 only times he looked shorter is with tom selleck ,liam neeson and jeff goldblum. but i think all those guys could have been 194. tom seeleck looks 192-193 when walking but besides talla guys in the 190 cm range he is always good amout taller. ( in peak) i would say all those guys was just a little over 6 foot 4 conan is more chance of being excactly 193 but not shorter

Canson said on 6/Dec/16
Skarsgard would edge Conan out. That's not even a question. Conan with hair and shoes is 6'5". hes 6'3-6'3.5 barefoot.Just like Charles Barkley now having claimed 6'4 6'4.5 6'4-6'5 and "I am 6'4 but I'm not". But nobody says anything about conan doing it because he's "making himself taller" not "the perception that he's downgrading himself to sell a book". 6'3 range is how he looks with guys like Tom Selleck. Come on! Nobody could sit here hand over heart and say he looks only 1/4" shorter than Selleck does. Most people are in denial but it looks like close to and inch if you look at their eye levels aren't that close and the fact Conan has more hair. We wouldn't even be able to see 1/4" difference if that were all it were. Get real. And no Selleck is not "6'4 and change" because that is always the next go to when someone's favorite celeb is not as tall as they claim or as they want them to be. He said he's 6'4"

Sammy Derrick said on 4/Dec/16

In this interview with fellow tall man Alexander Skargarrd he asks Conan how tall he is..And he says 6'4 or a bit taller 6'6 with hair'
Alex says he's a bit shorter.

Dylan said on 29/Nov/16
Everyone everywhere exaggerates their height. I'm 6'2 1/2 and I'm the tallest person almost everywhere I go. I'm 5 or 6 inches taller than a lot of people who claim to be 6'. Everyone says I must be 6'4 or 5 but I'm like no you're just not as tall as you say you are. Conan, from what I can tell, is probably about my height a little taller MAYBE.

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 25/Nov/16
@Canson - I think we're pretty close on our view of Conan's height. I think if we're talking evening time measurement I think 6'3.5"-ish is a pretty good guess and I could even see dipping under that at the end of a very long day. But earlier in the day I think he'd be almost 6'4".

Canson said on 25/Nov/16
Mathew: I agree he hasn't lost any height. It's just that people here try so hard to make certain celebs a certain height (Conan is an example of that). I mean, two very subtle cues are the shots with Neeson where Conan is clearly shorter and calls Neeson 6'5, then Selleck is clearly 1/2"-1" taller yet now it has gone from Conan is 6'4 to Conan must be 6'3.75. I honestly believe he was measured in the morning and was rounded up to 6'4 and that he's no more than 6'3.25 at night tops.

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 23/Nov/16
Canson said on 18/Nov/16
@Mathewrobinson190: I agree and 6'3.5 was likely conan's lowest at his peak.he has good posture so he may still be a strong 6'3 today like 6'3-6'3.5 range but his hair had to have been taken into account to get him anywhere near 6'4. When I see his actual eye level compared to Neeson or Selleck or Haysbert, it's a difference. Meaning too much for him to be 6'3.75 and selleck only 6'4. That's at least 1/2-3/4" difference

---

I view a peak height of 6'3.75" as plausible if not likely, but 6'4"+ I also regard as unlikely. 6'3.5" could also be what his height is/was too. Right around that 3.5" - 3.75" zone. I don't think he's lost much height, possibly a small fraction. He's still over a flat 6'3", but he's not a proper 6'4" nor has he ever been imo.

Conan is 6'4. He looked his height next to Ryan Reynolds.

If people wanted to believe conan o'brien 6'4.5 claimed then check him out with 6'5 vince vaughn see how he look a full inch shorter and yet vince vaughn had a downgrade from rob recently at 6'4.5 and how could they be half inch listed differently where vince vaughn taller than conan by an inch?

Vince Vaughn 6'4.5 (peak 6'4.75)
Conan O'Brien 6'3.5 (peak 6'4)
Andy Ritchter 6'0.5 (peak 6'0.75)

Wipeout said on 25/Oct/16
I'm going to say 6'4.75 peak morning height/6'4 late afternoon. Now about a half inch shorter.

Arthur said on 23/Oct/16
Rob look at the comment Danimal left on May 10th this year. He has a link in which Connan claims ''6'4-6'4.5''. How come you didn't add it ?

I suppose that means he measured 6'4.25

S.J.H said on 20/Oct/16
"He also mentioned once "I'm about Six-Four...but I'm not"." Obviously this statement goes with 6'3.75 a peak and 6'3.5 now. If he is 6'4 we have seem him with recent vince vaughn looking an easy inch lower isn't it? Liev schreiber i met at 6'2.5 and the youtube clip he look max 1.25" shorter than conan. 6'3.5 now for a downgrade. Maybe rob should think about this

Conan has mentioned many times that he's 6'4"-6'4.5". NO WAY was he ever under a full 6'4". It's ridiculous that people are claiming 6'3" for him now. I mean come on.

---

He's also admitted to being just under 6'4" too, and I think it was an honest admission. "I'm about 6'4", but I'm not". Sums up Conan's height well. He's not as low as 6'3" as some are saying, but he's not as high as 6'4"+ either. 6'3.75" is a very good estimate IMO, 6'3.5" is possible too. I'm convinced that's his range.

Canson said on 6/Oct/16
@Johan: absolutely correct. To his credit maybe he was measured early morning prime and got low192 cm range and rounded up. Nonetheless people on the site when he clearly is still 1/2-1" shorter than true 6'4 guys make him 6'3.75 just to make him near 6'4 at his lowest. Bobby3342 said it perfectly. He was around maybe 6'3.25 at his lowest of course in his prime never more

Canson said on 6/Oct/16
Well Danimal: Charles Barkley also along with many of his teammates have claimed 6'4 range for him but you insist he downplays his height even as a power forward not to mention others have met him and said the same. So why are we believing Conan's 6'4/6'4.5 verbal claim (even tho he's clearly less than that with guys like Neeson and Selleck) but don't believe Barkley's even though others call him that?

Danimal said on 5/Oct/16

On my generosity i"ll say conan 6'3.5 now and 6'3.75 peak. At peak we have see some 6'4 guest really taller than him like liam neeson , tom selleck , jeff goldblum , david hasselhoff etc

Jeff Goldblum used to state that he was 6'4.5" and Liam Neeson was taller than a flat 6'4". Stop trying to lower Conan's height.

Check out this video from an interview with him and Tom Selleck: Click Here

Between 6 min and 6 min and 30 seconds, the height question occurs: Conan asks: "How tall are you 6ft 4in or 6ft 5in?", Tom replies: "I'm 6ft 4in. How tall are you?" Conan replies: "I'm about your height, I'm 6ft 4in, but I'm not". This is an interview from 1998, so this could suggest 6ft 3.5in as a peak.
Editor Rob: I'll mention that at the top thanks, it's either one of two, he measured a fraction under or over.

It might be more like 6ft 3.75 which makes sense.

Charles barkley edge out conan o'brien by an easy 1.5" face to face not 0.75-1" , 6'3.25 sounds more likely his real height but i'm giving 6'3.5 now and 6'3.75 peak for generousity and respect for his long run talk show

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 24/Sep/16
Conan was always just a bit under the full 6'4". "I'm about Six-Four...but I'm not" sums up his height. Liam Neeson was taller by a solid half inch, Josh Homme by maybe about 3/4", Charles Barkley was taller by a solid inch for sure. I'd list Conan at 6'3.75" if I was Rob.

what!!!?!!! said on 21/Sep/16
most likely neeson is at most only 0.3 / 1 cm taller than Conan, no more.

shiva 181 cms said on 14/Sep/16
Neeson is about half inch taller and he might really be a 194 type guy (6'4.25) in his peak this makes sense that Conan is 192(6'3.75) in his peak and his "but I'm not" claim he might have really measured 192 and made that claim

Adam said on 14/Sep/16
Xhavier, at exactly 24 seconds into that youtube clip when Conan faces Selleck eye to eye, the latter seems to have a clear edge.

He is not as tall as 6'4.5 or as low as 6'3
Here's a video of liam H AND conanClick Here

Johan said on 24/Aug/16
How big do you think his eyelevel is? Many people talk about his hair and how it adds height but just look at this pic he must have near 5 inches?

Maybe thats why he sometimes sees people near in height as taller?

I don't see him under 6'3.5" but since Neeson is also sub 6'4" nowadays its a tough one to figure out.

S.J.H said on 22/Aug/16
Grace to the fact he was closer to 6'3.75 peak and rounding up say 6'4 and 6'3.25 nowadays

Canson said on 20/Aug/16
I agree with the Man. Peak height may have been 192 but I'm not convinced he has lost any. He's always had long hair which makes him in conjunction with his odd body look taller than he is. Wouldn't surprise me if he was 191 back then and still is today. Guys like Kobe Bryant Charles Barkley Josh Homme Manganiello Neesum and Haysbert have always been taller than he is noticeably. Some in the group are weak 6'5 candidates like Kobe and Joe and Barkley but the others in the low to mid 6'4 still have height on him. Goes to show how tall a legit 6'3 at or near his lowest height actually is. He can pull off a 6'5 appearance to many

Zoom Omega Distortion said on 12/Aug/16
I believe his peak was almost 194cm and he is now a bit less than 193, but no way less than 192cm!

The Man said on 7/Aug/16
There's 0 chance that Conan's anything above 6ft4 peak. He was always edged out by the likes of Neeson, Goldblum, Alexander Skarsgard, and other 6'4"/strong 6'4" dudes. Not to mention he looked 1.5" shorter than Kobe in one particular show. Whether Kobe had more shoe advantage or not, I would peg Conan to be 6'3.75" peak and 6'3.5" today.

the problem with much of the site is, its much like it is on the streets. It's about inflating people to make a person like Conan the height they claim. For some ungodly, unknown, asanine reason, people assume it's "less" insulting to "inflate" another person claiming their true height than to tell someone else they aren't as tall as they wish or claim they are which is 99.5 times out of 100, the norm. One claiming a shoe, one claiming their real height. One lying up or even rounding a morning height (which is not as much a lie but still off) the other claiming their lowest. Like if a celeb like Conan "says" they're 6'4, then they are 6'4 whether they're really 6'3 or not, whereas if Kobe Bryant or Charles Barkley says "I'm 6'4 1/2 or 6'4 3/4". No he's taller than that because Conan's 6'4. Same with Stern. No he's more than 6'5 even tho he has always claimed that height because so and so is (insert number). Instead of that honest person being the height they claim (the person who actually is) it's always that they are taller than they claim all because so and so has to be 6'4" which is BS. So most of this appears to be about "accommodating" someone else's lies and "short"comings (no pun intended). Guess it hasn't resonated with many people that many of these "supposed" heights being claimed are in shoes not barefoot. No Conan didn't shrink (at least not much). He was never a legit 6'4.

---

I agree that Conan may not be a legit, rock solid 6'4", but I also think he is (or was? has he lost height?) closer to 6'4" than 6'3". I've seen him as 192 cm range for quite some time now, I think a 6'3.75" listing would suit him well. Although a 6'3.5" or 6'4" listing I think are still pretty close. Over 6'4" or under 6'3.5" is hard to envision for Conan - for me it is anyways.

Conan is no less then 192-193cm, but he was easily 1cm taller at peak, he has been around for a long time, and at age 53 most people will have lost 1cm if not more..



192.5cm

Alex said on 14/Jul/16
Yes, Conan have a really long legs, more than average.

Canson said on 12/Jul/16
@Alex: you are spot on. He's always looked 6'3 barefoot (at his lowest). He has longer than avg legs which give a taller impression, dress shoes (some shoe with a heal of a sort), and long hair which all play into him being taller. I know someone who had long hair (claims 6'3) with a digital tape measure but when he cut his hair was def under. Not much but he's 190 (he was honest because his hair was similar to Conan's and added). I used to see less than an inch at times (he wears flat shoes all the time) and now clearly "about" 2". Hair can play a huge factor along with the other stuff. Not to mention the other "supposed" unmeasured "6'4" guys that claim the height and aren't the height but everyone here wants to "buy" their claim and upgrade another person (a Howard Stern a Charles Barkley a Kobe Bryant even a Conan) all because they look taller than people who claim the height these guys are. It is 100% the truth.

Lol. Norm macDonald is at most 6'1". Goose loves adding those 2" to every celeb doesn't he? Stern 6'7, Robbins 6'7, Conan 6'5", Favreau, Gandolfini, Flectchner and the list goes on. Shoe heights are (rounded up are what they are). No celeb in their right mind will downgrade themselves. They generally upgrade. What a dumb***

Canson said on 8/Jul/16
@Alex: I'd say peak he was 191-192 and maybe got the early morning 6'3.5-.75 and conveniently rounded up. He never has looked 6'4 with a true 6'4 you on his show. But I agree. I can buy 190 today if he has lost height (it's hard to tell).

Lol. Goose. If you look at all of your posts across other pages you consistently add 2" to everyone. Nobody takes anything you say seriously. I highly doubt you have met all of these guys or that you are a bad evaluator

Alex said on 6/Jul/16
Conan is another 190 cm guy who claims 193 cm with shoes, the difference next to Barkley is obvious..

Pucko said on 6/Jul/16
193.5-194cm at his peak, nowadays 1cm less

Goose said on 5/Jul/16
Some of the speculation here is both incredibly hilarious and incredibly stupid at the same time. Just because an actor lists his height (that's his publicist doing it BTW) doesn't mean he is that height. Norm is or was 6'3 and if you follow Norm he's the one of the most subversive comics in the world and could care less about how his height is perceived. I've seen all three in person (Andy, Norm and Conan) and Conan 'was' in 1998 or 1999 6'5 (saw him at night BTW when he'd shrunk). The 6'4 estimate is likely accurate in 2016 given he's over 50....

Canson said on 3/Jul/16
@123: agreed he is shorter than both. Those guys are over 6'4 tho more like 194.3-195 (6'4.5-.75). I'd put Conan right at 6'3 at his lowest more than likely. At worst maybe 6'2.75 (190+) the latter due to age. I honestly believe he measured in shoes or claims a shoe height based on evidence I've seen with other "6'4" guys who edge him out. He only looks 6'4" to people here on this site because his claims are based against other guys who "claim 6'1 or 6'2 or 6'3" and he always looks much taller because those guys claim their shoes as well. I've noticed any time a legit 6'4 is on his show that he is always edged out. I mean "always". I've never seen him as tall as any 6'4 person and that's even in his prime. I honestly in my heart believe he's always been 6'3 maybe a strong 191

Canson said on 2/Jul/16
@Height: agreed. He isn't real old but you can lose at that age.im in my mid 30s and can see almost 1/8" (not quite but close) that I've lost. I used to be 6'4 1/2 at my lowest or 1 mm under. Also lifestyle has a lot. I can see loss on a bodybuilder or heavy steroid user Ferrigno Arnold Moeller etc than on Conan.

Height said on 1/Jul/16
@Canson He's no that old, he is 53.

123 said on 1/Jul/16
2 inches shorter than Kobe and Charles Barkley he's six-two

Canson said on 30/Jun/16
@Height: prime maybe but problem is we're going off a claim for Jimmy. IMHO Conan is at most 6'3 at night (191). I think prime maybe he averaged 192 but was never a legit 6'4. Prob just a guy who was measured in the AM and didn't think anything of it (we people here are nuts LOL)! If you look at Conan every time he asks someone how tall they are or guesses someone's height he is off an inch. Klitschko (what are you 6'6 6'7?) Neesum (what are you 6'5)? Dennis Haysbert also had him by a good bit and Barkley and Kobe (who neither of them is a full 6'5 had him by 1.5-2")

Height said on 27/Jun/16
He is no less than 192 cm at night, he has a legit 11 cm to 12 cm edge on both Jimmys.

Canson said on 22/Jun/16
And out of nowhere comes Moe with another insult. Great job looking for a post from me to try and insult me. If you don't realize you started the whole thing on Theler's page with me, Joe, and Bobby and now you continue. Go right ahead. It's all because people don't "see it your way." This is a site where we give opinions. Yours isn't necessarily the holy grail. Go look at how many others you have screwed up.

Goose, don't even bother arguing with Canson. He's just a bitter short guy.

Saqib said on 30/May/16
Rob do you think hes a little Obsessed With Height like us?
He asks a lot of actors their height on his show like jake gyllenhaal,liam neeson etc.

Canson said on 28/May/16
@Berta: too small for 193. If I had a nickel for every time a 6'4 guy is on his show even a 6'5 like Klitschko and he asks them if they're a certain height (1-2" more than they actually are) I'd be a wealthy man! I'm with S.J.H and Bobby3342. He's 6'3 (191 maybe 190 now at his age). But I wouldn't hesitate to say he was a 192 guy at his peak (at absolute most though). Only 6'4 he'd ever see is 193 out of bed in his absolute prime!

Observer said on 27/May/16
I would like to make clear that Andy Richter is not 6'2". He has consistently been shorter than Norm Macdonald who is 6'1.5". I'd say Richter is around 6'0.5".

berta said on 25/May/16
He Always looks 193 to me. Could be 3 milimeter over. But i Think he is pretty good evidence that Liam Neeson was 194 peak

S.J.H said on 11/May/16
Canson, you're rock! I totally agree with you ;) Btw to be fair conan is 6'3 and 6'4 with shoe and 6'5 illusion made by a hair

Danimal (176-178cm) said on 10/May/16
At 3:17 Conan is asked by a 6'4" guy how tall he is and at 3:20 he says he's about 6'4"-6'4.5" (which I'm positive he was in his prime) The sketch is from 2009/2010 when he was 46 years old).. Btw, it's a hilarious sketch to watch in its entirety: Click Here

Canson said on 20/Apr/16
Goose: Sorry but Conan isn't even a flat 6'4. Look at him with Kobe Bryant or Charles Barkley or Liam Nessum. I know people who have met Barkley (reliably and are close in height with me at 6'4.5) and he's what Rob has him at most. Also know ppl who have met Kobe and also saw KROC post that he is 194-195 which is what he claims as well as Barkley. Go look at Jordan's page where he mentions it. Again reliably because KROC is 6'5 so he could tell the difference being taller than Kobe. So are you telling me if Kobe and Barkley are under 6'5 flat that Conan is taller than they are? The evidence suggests otherwise. They both have Conan by a good inch and a half.

Oh and you also claim that Tim Robbins is 6'7 (he claims 6'4.5 or 6'5), that Howard Stern is 6'7 (he claims 6'5 and Bobby3342 who is my height met him and said he's 6'5 as did another poster), that Jon Favreau is 6'2.5, that Gandolfini is 6'2.5, will Fichtner at 6'1 and the list goes on. Notice a common theme, Goose? All of your estimates are at least an inch and a half, some even 2 inches above what Rob has these guys listed here on this site. A lot of guys are already listed about an inch higher (they claim shoe heights). So either one of three things here. 1. Your friends you base 6'4-6'5 off of aren't really that tall which is very common as 6'4-6'5 usually shocks people due to the many who lie on the street about their height; 2. You are bluffing when you claim to have met these guys, or 3. That you aren't good with gauging height. I mean I can see someone downgrading maybe one or two or three celebs or upgrading a couple vs giving each two inches which is your natural tendency.

Goose said on 19/Apr/16
Canson, you haven't seen any of the guys I mentioned in person - I have - I lived in Manhatten. Conan when I saw him in Soho in 98' or 99' was 6'5 - no question. When I saw Richter with his mom he was 6'2....

You're opinion is just total speculating (camera angles, lifts, etc) unless you've seen them in person. I have no vested interest here but those height are on target I guarantee you....

See some people in person before speculating from images/videos off the internet....

Rob has Josh at 6ft4.5 that is maybe right max he is about .5 of an inch taller

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 6/Apr/16
Conan is not standing upright in those photos neither.In the YouTube clip Home looks to have an edge on Conan but that could be down to footwear.I still think Conan is a strong 6ft4.

---

I believe Conan looks closer in height to Sebastian Bach than he does to Josh Homme in the videos. If Conan were a strong 6'4", I'd put Josh at about 6'5" (which he has claimed to be fair) and Sebastian Bach maybe around 192 cm range, give or take.

No, the pictures are misleading due to poor posture. The video is much more telling. Look when they are about to shake hands. Clear as day Josh is taller.

Looks 3 inches taller than Andy Richter and he is mental to be 6ft2

Josh said on 29/Mar/16
Agreed, Mathew Robinson.

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 28/Mar/16
Very much suspect 6'3.75" would be a better listing than the full 6'4". You can seldom be too sure when it comes to spotting quarter inches, but he's been edged out by 6'4" guys on his show in the past and has admitted to being "6'4-ish", which to me says he probably measures a little under. I struggle to see over 6'4" or under 6'3.5".

Look him up against other tall guys who have been on his show.
Liam Neeson is 6'4" - 6'4.25" range (don't have the link, maybe someone else can find it, but Conan literally said "you must be six five" to Liam - they even compared heights)
Josh Homme is 6'4.5" Click Here
Kobe Bryant is 6'4.75" Click Here
Sebastain Bach is 6'3" Click Here

I think if you really pay close attention to his height in relation to these guests he tends to look more 6'3.5" - 6'3.75" than a big 6'4". You could argue 6'4" flat too, but I think a tad less is a safer bet.

Linda said on 24/Mar/16
Most of them are really short. Here most boys/men are at least 6 feet, but most of them are taller.

berta said on 22/Mar/16
Always looks 193 only time he looks shorter is with barkeley who makes the rock loock 186, so barkeley is probably more like 197. cant se him shorter than michael jordan. and also when he met liam Neeson who was probably 194. Liam neson is a guy who looked Close to 6 foot five 20 years ago but with bad posture he lost 1 cm 10 years ago and now 2 cm more and is down to 191 now. Conan is 193 and have Always been.

Gary said on 20/Mar/16
@Rob, Do you think Conan was ever above 6ft4 range barefoot in his prime?

jervis said on 20/Mar/16
How can he be 6ft3 and be so much taller than Will Farrell.Just google him with Farrell and you will see.Also with Liam Neeson he looks taller.

jervis said on 20/Mar/16
Easy 6ft4 had about 3inches on Will Farrell,he looked 6ft5 with Farrell.Never had any doubt that he is at least 6ft4,infact I would have put him at 6ft5 if he had not said he was 6ft4 himself.

Sam said on 18/Mar/16
I have a hard time of seeing Conan as having lost height...6'3.5" was always possible but he generally looks near a weak 6'4".

Alex said on 30/Jan/16
Conan is clearly a tall man, probably he's about 191 cm barefoot and a strong 193 with business shoes.

Canson said on 21/Jan/16
@Goose: you may want to get these "6'4-6'5" friends along with yourself measured because you seem to be way off on all of your measurements! Robbins at 6'7? Stern at 6'7? Conan 6'5?

James B said on 16/Jan/16
Rob 6'3.5 possible for Conan?

I know you think he is a strong 6'4 but compared to Barkley he looks under that mark

LL is a guy that I think both slouches at times and isn't as tall as some believe. He'd measure a bit taller than he sometimes stands, although I still doubt he's anything more than 6'1".

Canson said on 7/Jan/16
LL isn't standing up straight and I highly doubt LL Cool J is 6'1 barefoot if he did. I mean my opinion but I can bank on it he's not. I have watched his tv show "In the House". He had people like Lennox Lewis James worthy Eddie jones and Kobe on there. He and Lewis were right in front of each other in the ring and Lewis dwarfed him. Lewis is 6'4 maybe 6'4 and change barefoot. LL was about 6 even maybe the same height as Kim Wayans who is listed 6' but is likely between 5'11-6'0. LL sometimes (depending on his footwear in the show) barely looked taller than some of the shorter co-stars who aren't over 5'7 or 5'8.

Goose:

He is not anything close to 6'5 without shoes. His 6'4 after seeing him with guys like Liam neeson and Joe mangienello is even shaky. Even less so with Charles Barkley or Kobe Bryant who aren't out of the 6'4 range themselves. He is 6'3 barefoot tops!

---

I believe Conan's full 6'4" may be slightly shaky, but I also think he's really nothing under 6'3.5" either. He's somewhere in the 6'3.5" - 6'4" zone, I'd lean towards the 3.5 but 3.75 or 4 could be the number. Anything over 6'4" has to be thrown out after seeing him next to Liam Neeson, Josh Homme, Charles Barkley, etc. Guys who there is no doubt they at or over the 6'4" mark but probably not a full 6'5". And these guys were noticeably taller.

Conan 6'3.75" give or take
Barkley 6'4.75"
Homme 6'4.5"
Neeson 6'4" - 6'4.25" (although may have shrunk a fraction since)

Tarinator said on 28/Nov/15
Click Here How tall do you think Pete Holmes is? 6'5" - 6'6" (197 cm range)? I think he looks maybe an inch taller or a little more than Conan O'Brien. His posture is not the best in this photo.

The only postings I really check out on this site are the first person accounts which are usually pretty close. The rest is just idle speculation. More first person accounts please....

---

I saw Conan in person once actually a couple years ago. But I couldn't get a great read on his height because the ground was heavily sloped. I could tell you he's definitely not anything like the 6'8" he's apparently been billed at in the past, nor is he a man of average stature. But first person accounts can sometimes be pretty fruitless unfortunately since all of that was very obvious.

Comparing him to Josh Homme, whose height I believe to be an example of a legit 194 cm, I think Conan is a very solid 192 cm.

Goose said on 1/Nov/15
I've seen Conan & Andy both in person in NYC. I saw Andy with his mom (couldn't mistake that voice) and he was 6'2 (I'm a very weak 5'10). Saw Conan on Prince & Sullivan and he was 6'5 and big boned - huge shoulders. Didn't know who he was at first & he still caught my attention.

Canson said on 26/Oct/15
both Conan and David letterman appear taller when they first greet the audience with a frontal full body shot of them. It isn't until they stand side by side or in front of taller guys on even keel where we start to see a difference. When Joe M came on his show Conan asked him if he was 6'5 and Joe told Conan "6'4 and a little change". Joe was a good inch plus taller of course not taking footwear into account. To be fair, conan isn't lying egregiously like others because it's likely a inch we're talking and he has the proportions of a 6'4/6'5 guy with his inseam. He would likely get billed a true, honest, no questions asked 6'3 by a doctor or anyone around his size who is claiming their true height.

Canson said on 24/Oct/15
Lol. Conan with his long limbs and very slender build is tricky to guess. Bobby3342 got it right. Measuring bf is "going against the grain" nowadays (sadly enough). Compared to other Celebes have been on his show like Kobe, Joe Mangienello, Dennis haysbert, Charles Barkley, he doesn't look over a flat 6'3 barefoot (quite poss 6'2.75 at his lowest). And Bobby, I feel your pain and Baba's. I'm like Bobby, prob 6'4.5 at my lowest before bed. Can't count how many times I'm guessed at 6'6 or even 6'7 esp in shoes with higher soles. It gets old having to correct people or to tell them off when they argue with you! Guess it goes to say nice guys (honest guys) never win! End my rant as well!

Alex said on 24/Oct/15
I'm like 6'2 and 3/8"; guys usually think I'm 6'4". Last time time I saw my 6'1" cousin, he said, "How tall are you now, dude - 6'5"?" We were practically eye-to-eye lol.

Oddly, women tend to guess my height as slightly shorter than what it is - usually 6'1" or 6'2". Maybe because most men seem tall to them.

That said, I do think Conan is closer to 6'4" than 6'3" (though not a full 6'4").

bobby3342 said on 21/Oct/15
Conan is 6 3 barefoot, to his credit a lot of 6' 2 guys claim 6'4 , so while him being 6 '3 claiming 6'4 people are like, yup conan's a solid 6 '4, I am 6 '4 and change barefoot and I get guessed at 6'6 all the time and when I tell them im 6 '4 and a bit they laugh at me like im lying. Face it rarely anybody claims bf heights so it has become acceptable to call conan 6 '4 and Michael Jordan 6'6 people don't realize how big a 6'4 bf guy really is ,and guys like Ali Baba get told no your 6'7 or 6'8 your heads almost hitting the door lol. END RANT

It appears that he is losing height or posture as of late. He looks significantly shorter next to Rhett McLaughlin (6'7) than he did next to Stephen Merchant (6'7) in years past.

Rob, any idea on Andy Ritcher? Listed at 6'2, which is probably is claim... He was in an episode of Chuck and, if i remember well, he was maybe a couple inches shorter than Zach. Maybe 6'1?

yenz said on 13/Jul/15
I just watched some video where hes at some Irish heritage place.

I can see why people don't think he's 6'4". He doesn't have average 6'4" proportions. His torso is so tiny, that he probably gets away with medium size shirts.

Triplescrew said on 9/Jul/15
Ok this is a bad angle but here's a pic of Conan with supposedly 6'8" Brittney Griner. Though I think she might be more around 6'6.25" and round up like how other WNBA and NBA players do.

Click Here

I watched the episode where she was a guest and Conan only looked about 2 inches shorter than her (though he did have maybe a half inch footwear advantage).

6'3.75" at night makes sense... 6'5" with the hair. Maybe he scrapes 6'6.25" in clunky dress shoes :). Which wouldn't be too unimaginable seeing as he's nearly shoulder-to-shoulder with Griner.
