Well, fair enough. I think Valuev's 210cm/6'10 1/2'', for what it's worth.

That looks to be because Rodman's more in the foreground. Are there more of them together?
Don't know about Dave Winfield - some baseball listings are rubbish, and he's old now.

Jason, I would say the only situation where they will inflate a boxer's height is in a case where the height is a marketable aspect, such as with Nicolai Valuev, who is most likely under 7' but is bumped up just for that marketing sake. I really can't speak for those other sports you list, other than attesting to your accuracy in saying that UFC does inflate heights, as I don't really follow any of the others.
Anyways, I can't change your mind so and that's alright. I'll just say that the only discrepancy that you will find will be shoes on or off, sole thickness, and unit conversions to the imperial system. Of course, not all heights will be accurate but I got the impression you think this is like WWE, where everyone is much smaller than they are on paper.
I will probably be going to watch Wlad fight before he retires, and if all goes well i'll get a photo with him. I would bet he'll be noticeably taller than I am :)

Atodaso; I'm talking about the big time. And I've followed boxing for many years, too, and can't believe you don't think they sometimes inflate height. They do it in wrestling, UFC, basketball; football, sometimes. Even tennis. I don't know why you think boxing - of all sports - is an exception.

speaking of rodman here is an interesting shot Click Here
the guy next to him is keyshawn johnson listed at 6'4 by the NFL (i believe Viper said he was measured at 6'3.5" barefoot) and he is about 5" shorter Click Here
Dave Winfield was listed at 6'6 during his playing career and you know magic

The vast majority of the time when a celeb/athlete gives their height, it's inflated or actual. While there are, of course, some exceptions (Barkley ... though, I still don't think Rodman is taller than 6'6 1/4'') ... it's a pretty safe bet they're not undercutting themselves. I've always thought Wlad is 196cm/6'5 1/4'', like I said, and he pretty much confirmed it. Atoadaso saying a boxing billed height can't be inflated is just wrong, and this stuff about it being a medical measurement. Boxing is, and historically has been, the most crooked sport around lol.

It seems the video has been taken off of youtube.
However, that video is a small fraction of evidence that Wlad is significantly taller than 6'5". As i've said, you can view many pictures of him with, for example, 6'6" McCline, 6'6" Ray Austin, and many others around the 6'4" mark such as Corrie Sanders and TOS.
Vegas, that is a DonKing Production venue, his listing is not necessarily a standard, nor accurate. Boxrec, a database for boxing statistics, has Wlad at 6'6.5", to show you there are discrepancies. Also, I have seen all of his early fights in germany, and he is listed 6'6.5"-6'7" usually.
Jason, i'm a member on a boxing board already, EastSideBoxing, and I have followed the sport for about 10 years, and boxed 4 years myself. I'm not sure why you think heights are inflated, apart from being measured with shoes on. I have not heard of this, from my experiences with the sport. I have personally sparred with 6'4"-6'5" boxers who have not had their heights inflated for the sake of show business, or whatever reason. One guy was about 6'8" at my gym, and I thought he was about 7' until I asked him, heh. As welterweight is about the most popular division at this point, i'd say it's safe to assume most boxing fans do not care how tall a boxer is, and there is no point to inflate heights as WWE would do.
For what it's worth, I myself am 6'5", and from photos and videos in general of Wlad, I am very certain he is not the same height as me, as I do not tower over people quite the same.

i wouldn't use the fact that he said he was 6'5 as 100% proof, people give different heights for themselves all the time up and down ie barkley/rodman/hogan etc, your old chestnut that "lowest listing/claim is usually the correct height" doesn't fly with me either. I could create a professional looking website and claim shaq is 6'2, don't make it true, i could tell someone i was 5 foot, don't make it true either :) The 6'6 boxing listing is more proof that Wlad is not 6'7 barefoot
i gotta see this where big show looked 6'7 next to Conan (i assume that means he only looked 2-3" taller than conan), i know you are only quoting Viper on this but i have seen two appearances of Big Show on Conan and both times he towered him, you can't blame the stage here or the camera angle which is front facing Click Here

Sorry mate, you don't have a leg to stand on when the guy himself says he's 6'5''.
Conan's stage is weird ... the wrestler Big Show has appeared 6'7'' with him once, then *inches* taller another time.
And boxing heights are relatively quite often inflated; it's show business. Heck, even stuff like reach is (for intimidation). Ask on any boxing board if you're interested. In fact, I'll do it for you if you choose not to and want to continue this point.

wlad is listed at 6'6 in boxing it clearly shows it here 37 seconds in Click Here
so if he is listed at 6'6 how does that make him 6'7?? i am with Jason on this he looks 6'5-6'5.5" barefoot to me
i would really have to see the video of him and Conan to comment but i suspect it will be something like this where Rock has 3-4" on Conan Click Here

Yes, Wlad is 6'7" or thereabouts, it's obvious from dozens of staredowns, face to face, and often barefoot, with other tall HW's around the 6'5", or 6'6" mark, and he will end up taller than them. Professional boxers stats are not inflated, they are medically recorded, and the only discrepency you will ever find is possibly height in shoes, or some incorrect data in translation from the metric system, which is why I believe Wlad said he was only 6'5" on Conan. This is not UFC, or WWE - the stats are valid.
I can use any of Wlad's fights, but recently, his fight with Ibragimov, who is listed at 6'2". If Wlad is around 6'5", then Ibragimov becomes about 5'11", which is ridiculous.
He had about 3.5"-4" on Conan O'brien. In fact, when Wlad came out to greet him, Conan was obviously very shocked at how big he was, as he had to look up to see him.

I've always said Wlad is 196cm (6'5 1/4''). He isn't 6'7'', he even said himself that he's 6'5''. The reason Wlad appears taller against some guys is because their billed heights are inflated.

Adding to what Brah said, Conan has also mentioned on-air that his stage is slanted, so if you don't trust your own judgment of angles, you can take his word for it. :) The "ring spin" segments that aired during the strike are one example -- he points out that he needs to hold one end of the desk up in order to keep the ring spinning in place, because the desk is on an incline and the ring would otherwise fall off its edge.
It's very likely the desk area was intentionally built this way to minimize Conan's height, both to avoid distraction and to ensure that visiting celebs are not seen in unflattering light (appearing short next to Conan). It's only that one part of the set, though -- the rest is even.

Hasselhoff always wears lifts, especially in Night Rider days. Not cheating
kind of lifts short folks wear who don't want you to know they have them on
- but just those shoes with thick heels. Conan probably does not, and that
could fully explain that, plus he's farther from the camera than David...
Hogan also wears lift shoes a lot to look taller than he is to keep his
'rep' as a 'big dude' going. I also believe the part that the stage is
set so those to the left and away from Conan who's at his desk seem a
bit taller, since he is tall, so things would match a bit better...

Wladimir Klitschko towered over Conan tonight. I thought it was strange when he said he was only 6'5" when Conan asked him, and said Vitali was 6'7". Wlad is at around 6'7" based on staredowns with other tall boxers - take a look at him with 6'6" Ray Austin, for example. Also there is not much than 1" height difference between him and Vitali, who is very likely 6'8". Anyways, Conan looked about 6'3.5" with Wlad which is probably about right.

Maybe Hasselhoff is taller than 6'4"? I mean, Conan stood next to Bob Saget (who's a legitimate 6'4") and Conan was definitely the taller of the two.

When Hasselhoff and Conan stood back to back, Hasselhoff did appear taller
only very slightly maybe half an inch or so and conan is now clearly further from the camera in the shot, their shoulders, legs are at the exact same height though, i would love to see that shot with roles reversed ie. conan in hasselhoffs position and vice versa Click Here

The camera is not at an angle. It is a straight line forward from where the audience sits.
It is the stage that is at an angle. The way the chairs and desks look in the background of your photos is a dead giveaway of the angle of the stage.
Where Conan stands to give his monologue though is not angled and is a straight-on view.

funny thing is 6'4 david hasselhoff barely looked taller than conan despite being on the left side of the stage, how do you guys explain that?? Click Here
the whole stage has to be tilted if that is the case because here conan meets hulk hogan basically at the entrance way far away from the desk and conan is still shorter than hulk who is no more than 6'4 today Click Here
personally i think the problem is not stage tilt or whatever its camera angle (which you mention in your piece Brah) the michael strahan one is obvious he is miles closer to the camera here than conan Click Here
hogan is slightly closer to the camera here giving a distorted view that hogan is 3 inches taller at least Click Here
then you have the subtle camera angle which is responsible for 99% of the problems on conans shows, the camera angle here Click Here
that same camera angle in the above photo made 6'5ish Charles Barkley look 3-4" taller than Conan

Vegas, I was using that as an example of the angle of the stage. And I know that because I have seen the Conan O'Brien show in person sitting in the front row. The Rock and Conan are not the same distance from the camera even in that 2005 pic.
You are judging from TV and small pictures. I sat 10 feet away from Conan and know how the stage looks in person! The stage is a raised platform that is tilted inward to the right and the cameraman is focused straight on, without compensating for the tilt.
Anyone who stands on the right side of the stage platform (the "desk" side) is farther away from the camera than someone who stands on the left.

The episode where Rock shook hands with Conan, they looked the same height. Some even said that the Rock appeared slightly taller, which we know is not the case.
we know that how?? have you measured both and can confirm 100% that conan is indeed taller than dwayne johnson, after all both men say they are 6'4, johnson has a little more going for him because he was actually listed in football with the miami hurricanes at that height, i can't seem to find a 6'4 legit sports listing for conan or indeed 99% of those on tv or in the movies :P
for what its worth i don't think rock is taller than 6'3 but he did look the exact same height as conan in 2005 with both men exactly the same distance from the camera Click Here here in 2006 the angle favours dwayne a bit like it does strahan from the video i posted yday and johnson looks 2-2.5" inches taller than conan because of it Click Here

True that guests looks taller on the show. This is because the stage is at an angle. The right side of the stage (where Conan sits or stands to shake hands with the guests)is a little farther back then where the guests come on and sit.

He's between 6'4" and 6'5", just as he says. When he was younger, I believe he used to round to 6'5" more often; now it seems like he more often rounds to 6'4", possibly because he's realized that you can't really get away with rounding up in a profession that involves standing next to so many celebrities.
Either way, he is NOT "infatuated with his height", as poster Atoadaso puts it. Joking about his awkward appearance is part of his shtick, but if you ever run into him in real life, remarks about his height will only get you weary looks -- practically everyone he meets is shocked by how much taller he looks in person than on TV, and I think by now he's a bit bored with the whole thing as a topic of discussion.
And Danimal, O'Brien grew the beard as a writers' strike solidarity thing -- many members of his staff did, too. ;)

I have a boxer friend of mine who is 6'3 and 190 and pretty muscular. If you eliminate fat 200 pounds is a pretty strong weight. You cannot be skinny, 200 pounds and just 6'2 at the same time. Wlad Klitchko was muscular-skinny when he entered professional boxing and he was 6'6 and 190 pounds.

I would not go so far as to say 220 pounds is huge on a man who is 6'4", but yes, he was obviously much heavier than he's been the last little while.

Conan grew that beard for a reason. I personally believe he is sick. I have noticed his cheekbones protruding for some time now. He has lost a considerable amount of weight. If he is only 178 nowadays, he was surely much heavier only a couple of years ago (190-210 pounds).

the problem is barkley has been downgraded for far too long, he is 6'5 at the very least and he did say he was 6'5.5" on tv in january

barkley is 1" shorter in photos than Dominique Wilkins, only 6" or so shorter than shaq, nearly the same height as Krist Novoselic, how much more evidence do you need that Barkley is more than 6'4???
conan was 2" taller than Hugh Laurie who in turn was 3" taller than zach braff, no way braff is 5'9 :D

He must be around 6'2" after seeing him next to Barkley. Unless the stage is slanted. Conan asked Barkley to stand up for a play confrontation and Barkley was a few inches taller.

I'd say he's below 6'4". 6'3.5" i'd put him, he just has a tall frame and in bits with Joel the announcer, and Max, he is a giant because those two are short people.

Leave the man alone. He is 6'4". He had 2" on John Goodman and has measured up to 6'4" to every tall actor and he has stated 6'4" about 2 dozen times since 1993. In fact, he has also stated taller. Those who say he is 6'2" are people who like to makes others shorter.

Yeah Chris I saw the show with Cusack as well and heard him claim 6ft4.5. Conan was going on and on about how Cusack was tall for a celebrity, and then joking how with enough gel and mousse in his hair he'd be 6ft6.
Cusack by the way looked only an inch or so shorter than O'Brien, taller than I expected. I thought he was only 6ft2, but he looked more like 6ft3-6ft3.5 with a pretty big build as well. He was wearing all black so that might have added to it, but he looked like he's put on some serious weight.

John Cusack asked Conan how tall he is, and Conan says 6'4.5". I've seen Conan in person 3 times as a studio audience member, and its hard to tell his height in the audience, but he doesn't look as tall as that claims. If I was standing next to Conan he would probably be only an inch taller than me and I'm 6'1.5" but I look taller

To the Serb poster / Croat poster... I was in Belgrade for a week last year as my girlfriend is Serbian and we were doing business over there.... I am 5-10 and to say that all Serbs are "tall" is quite a misnomer... yes there were taller people there, but lots and lots of guys in the 5-10 to 6-1 area... the women were maybe slightly taller than US women, but not much so. yeah Serbia has tall guys, maybe slightly taller than US on average...but from the tallest men in the world come from North Eastern Europe, namely Norway and Sweden.
PS: Serbian pride is quite an interesting thing.

I think Conan is more like 6'3, maybe a little over.
Morgan Freeman was on his show recently, and they look about the same height. Garrett was on his show last night, and Conan barely makes to Garrett's eyebrow. For a big guy like Garrett, that's gotta be a over 4 inch difference.

Chris & Anonymous. I'm with you. I realize that what I have on this site is actually incorrect for my height. I have a lower number than what the doctor's tell me I am. Ignoring the fact that I cannot stand straight, I am exactly 192 cm tall without shoes (if I could stand straight I would be 198.5 cm tall--muscle problems). So that translates to being 6'3 1/2", and I too have met individuals that are shorter than I am that claim to be heights taller than I am, and those close to my height (6'3" and 6'4" people) that claim to be 6'6" or higher. Also I have recently met more and more people that tell me that I must be 6'4 1/2" not 6'3 1/2" because they are a legitimate 6'4" and I am taller than them. I'm sticking with my 6'3 1/2".
Nice to know there are some more honest folks out there.
Have a nice day.

You guys are making a big mistake. When you study statistics you learn that the mean is not a good way of reflecting the variety of any set of numbers...only the average. Let me give you an example. Lets say there are six people in a room, three women, three men. The three men's heights are as follows:
Man 1: 190cm
Man 2: 199cm
Man 3: 195cm
And the women -
Woman 1: 148cm
Woman 2: 155cm
Woman 3: 153cm
The mean height would be: 173cm...but that seems somehow wrong because although its the average, it doesn't tell us anything about the real values themselves. That height is so far from the heights of any of the persons, so its value as a 'DESCRIPTIVE STATISTIC' is nil - it doesn't describe the values!! The point is ER is wrong when he talks about Norway and the Alps. Certain families of any race (certain african tribes for negros, and certain white families such as the serbs and croatians for caucasians) are known to have a number of 'outliers' when it comes to measuring heights...this means they have a great variation which places a lot of persons in the top range and a lot in the bottom. Other ethnicities of races are known for having less extreme measurements. Serbs and Croatians do in fact have less average heigh males than in Norway and Sweden, but higher readings for 'tall' and 'short' males...so the 23% over 190 for the Alps and 6% over 190 for Norway is actually a correct statistic despite their averages being only 7 cm apart. Don't let big words like 'mean' fool you...the mean is just one of many statistical tests, in this case, an irrelevant one!!!!

I am the oddball out here, and will suggest that Conan is really OVER 6'4".
Possibly 6'6".
The reason for this, is his role as an interviewer, Stars will be much less likely to show up on a show with a guy who makes them look small.
So fudge his height down a bit, so it sounds less like the Star going on his show will be dwarfed.
Same as in movie scenes where actors do not want a co star who makes them look like a kid.
So naturally, it would make sense for Conan’s stats to be fudged downward. Being a comedian as well, you do not want to look intimidating.
Imagine if you had a 7 ft comedian built like Arnold was in his prime. The guy would not be funny, as they would all be too scared of him. Extreme example, but you get the idea.
If O’Brien is 6’6” or even 6’5”, he would want people to think he is less than that. That would also explain why actors look so short compared to him too.
If any guy is going to fudge the bar downward, it would be a guy in O’Brien’s shoes.

I've met a few people who are honest, but those people tend to be far fewer than those who exaggerate, I met a guy recently, who I was sure was going to claim to be 6'7", or some exaggerated height, but he said, 6'4". I was slightly taller than him, but it was nice to see someone being honest. On the other hand, I've met people who are my height ... legit 6'5", and they claim to be 6'7", or 6'8", and I've met people who are 6'1". maybe 6'2" with shoes, who claim to be 6'4".
I don't see anything wrong with rounding up or down to the 1/2 inch, but it gets annoying when people exaggerate by 2-3, sometime more, inches.

Chris, I know exactly what you mean. I am a solid 6'3'', and there's shorter people who claim to be as tall... There are honest ones, too, tho. Like, when I was in HS, a friend, who was maybe exactly as tall as I was, said he were 6'2'', and I exaggerated my height to 6'4''. Today I try to be extra precise, and it's 6'3''. Maybe a bit taller in the morning, a bit shorter in the night. So, in the night, I might actually be a little less than 6'3''.

Height is a very funny thing. I am a solid 6'5", barefoot, but always feel taller than I really am. I will go to duck to walk under something, suddenly realize I don't have to duck, but can actually walk under it. I will turn around, look at the height of what I just walked under, and sometimes am amazed that, really, I am not that tall, to be able to fit under that object. But, really, it is perspective. At 6'5"-6'6", of course that object will look shorter to me, than to someone who is much shorter. Camera angles do the same thing, and this is why judging someone height, even if standing right next to someone of the same (reported) height, is not really accurate. The angles, whether they are looking up, down, from an angle, or are closer to one person, than another, can create the illusion of one being taller, or appearing taller, shorter than they really are.
By the way ... as someone who is a legit 6'5", barefoot, taller, obviously, with shoes, it amazes me, and sometimes annoys me, at the number of people who grossly exaggerate their height. I've met people I'm a good 4" taller than, who claim to be 6'4", and are convinced I must be 6'8". I don't understand this. You are as tall as you are, regardless of what number you throw out there. Claiming to be 6'4", when you are 6'1", doesn't make you 6'4". I can't help but sometimes laugh at some people.
Height is a very funny thing. I am a solid 6'5", barefoot, but always feel taller than I really am. I will go to duck to walk under something, suddenly realize I don't have to duck, but can actually walk under it. I will turn around, look at the height of what I just walked under, and sometimes am amazed that, really, I am not that tall, to be able to fit under that object. But, really, it is perspective. At 6'5"-6'6", of course that object will look shorter to me, than to someone who is much shorter. Camera angles do the same thing, and this is why judging someone height, even if standing right next to someone of the same (reported) height, is not really accurate. The angles, whether they are looking up, down, from an angle, or are closer to one person, than another, can create the illusion of one being taller, or appearing taller, shorter than they really are.

In his interview with Barrack Obama, Obama said something like, "You don't see too many 6'6" guys with red pompadours over there." I also witnessed Conan reveal his height as 6'5" when he was being interviewed one time. Well, I don't think he's quite that tall, but he's definitely not under 6'4". Maybe he was even a little over that at his peak.

I have a very hard time believing 28 % and 20 % are over 6-3 in height in the Dinaric Alps and Holland respectively. How is that possible, when in Norway, where the average height is 5-11 (0.5 inch difference from Holland) only 6,1 % of the population are more than 6-3? Please something that can document your claims.

The people from the Dinaric Alps are the tallest in the world (186 cm for males).The Netherlands was in the late nineteenth century a land renowned for its short population, but today it has the 2nd tallest average in the world,[2] with young men averaging 183 cm (6 ft) tall and only shorter than the peoples of the Dinaric Alps (Montenegro, Serbia , western Bosnia, coastal and hinterland Croatia and a part of Slovenia), where males average 186 cm (6 ft 1.1 in) tall. The Dinarians and Dutch are now well known in Europe for extreme tallness.

Our investigation covering 2705 boys and 2842 girls aged 17 years, shows that, contrary to the general belief, adolescents of the Dinaric Alps are, on average, the tallest in Europe. With an average height of 185,6 cm, they are taller than Dutch adolescents (184 cm on average). Above all, the density of very tall subjects appears to be characteristic of the Dinaric Alps, since 28% measure 190 cm or more in height, as opposed to only 20% in Holland and 1.5% in France. Although our information is not complete, adolescent girls in the Dinaric Alps, with an average height of 171 cm come a close second to girls in Holland.

You're claiming that Slavic people in the Balkans are tallest in the world... I don't know who you're trying to fool. Why aren't the Slavs in Poland or Russia or Ukraine or any former USSR for that matter that tall? They all fall below the average European heights... ex. Putin 5'6" Gorbachev 5'8" etc... Now Dalmatia was an Illyrian province so if you're talking about Illyrians then you might be right. So today that would be modern day Albanians including those in Kosovo which is a former Yugoslav republic. But even those claims seem ridicules.

Loler, I know your kind. Type human height in W!k!pedia, and see what it says. Or type Dinaric Alps in Google. Most researchers agree that the tallest people are from the Dinaric Alps (which encompasses former Yugoslav republics.) Other studies have showed that Dalmatians are the tallest. (Dalmatia is Croatia's biggest province). All these regions are confusing to most. That's why I simply use the term Yugoslav.
The average Yugoslav is 6'1'' 1/4. Which is the tallest avg. height in the world.

Let's not be ignorant here. I have studied human height for a long time now. The tallest people are obviously Yugoslavs. Yugoslavia includes Croatia and Serbia. The tallest people are from the Dinaric Alps (Aka Yugoslavia). 28% of Yugoslavs are 6'3'' and over, 1 in 40 is 6'7'' and over. And of course there are tons of evidence, sources and references to support this. Let's not be ignorant. Dutch being the tallest is a myth. Guinness has the Tutsis. Other research support this, while most point to the Yugoslavs being the tallest. Dutch are after the Tutsis (Watusi) and Yugoslavs.

I would also say Conan is at least 6'4". Just as he has stated himself. Determining the heights of "average" people can be tricky, but as a person who is a solid 6'6", and often correctly guessed by others as such, I can say that when you're talking about 6'4"+ range people, that's when above average height becomes really apparent. It can't even be faked with platforms really, because in this range, all the limbs just appear longer. Many people in this range take on a lanky or stooped appearance in pictures. Think Howard Stern (6"5") Vince Vaughn (6"4-5ish) or any other certifiably really tall celeb.
It works kind of like the magic six foot mark. The visual threshhold between "short" and "tall".

Alex, my head is about the same as yours, 9 - 9.5, though I think closer to 9.5 for me. Since I am a weak 5'8", it does'nt look small for my height, I would say definitely average. Some dudes with big hair seem to have average or even biggish heads, it's funny how then one day they turn up with a shaved head or a very short cut and look like pinheads :)
Oh yeah, and Big Show's head is AT LEAST 12 inches long, maybe closer to 13. Most likely around 12.5. Definitely not only 11 - 11.5 inches. Since he's balding, there's no big hair to give the illusion of a bigger head, as in Andre's case (though Andre's head was also equally huge I would say w/o the hair) Kane's head must be around 10 inches, and he looks like a pinhead next to Big Show. He has one of the biggest, if not the biggest, heads that anyone will ever see on a human being.

There is no way that Conan is under 6-3, a lot of the times it appears that he is only slightly taller than most of the guests due to the camera angles in which Conan is always further away from the camera and slightly leaning forward, when he actually gets up, say during a segment, and is right next the guest only then does his real height come through...also take note of his footwear which hardly gives him any extra height..

Alex, my eye level is 5 inches from my skull top, and I'd say that's pretty much average for most people. Atleast most people who are exactly my height look me right in the eye, plus or minus a few mm. And it's surprising that there is very little correlation of forehead length with total height , many of the guys with big foreheads are'nt tall at all, and many taller guys have smaller foreheads
(although there is a fair correlation of face length, and therefore total head length with height) Anyhow, this forehead and eye level stuff
usually accounts for an inch max. Most people will have anywhere from 4.5" - 5.5" to their eye level.
There
will be practically no one with 4" or less (or 6" or more) to their eye level.
As for upper body/legs, Khali and Big Show both have short legs and long torsos. However, them being wrestlers, I think it actually suits them more than the opposite (long legs with short torso).

Alex, I mentioned some guy I worked with says he is 6-3, but he seemed closer to 6-4 to me. He might have been more 6-3 1/2 or a little over. I just felt like he was marginally taller than me. Sometimes Id feel taller though. We might have been the same height, but he just gave the impression of being taller then a flat a 6-3 most of the time, and he had a very broad build too.

Viper, if Conan is 6'2.5", then that would make Will Ferrell under 6'2", which he definitely is not.
Ade, John Mayer was also on Conan's show about a week ago and appeared a good 2 inches shorter. Without the slouch and a guitar strung from his shoulder, I still see at least an inch difference between these two guys.
If you're a regular viewer, you'd know that, walking on the streets of New York, Conan can look like Rodan with a pompadour. He is indeed 6'4".

When John Mayer was a guest on the show a year back Conan was half an inch taller. He could be 6'3.5" but no less. No way has he lost an inch in height, he's not that old.

I don't know, I watched that episode pretty carefully and Stern seemed about an inch taller. You have to remember that every time a guest comes in they shoot him from a low angle and behind the guest, so they allways seem taller then they really are.
Howard Stern danced with Conan and put his head on his shoulder, they almost seemed the same height.

Nealon has to be 6'4". His height is the first thing I noticed about him, especially in Happy Gilmore. And indeed, if he actually straightened up, he'd be as tall as Conan.

Sometimes a stadiometer can be off a bit like 1/4-1/2 inch. It depends on how straight your head is or if the bar is on any slight angle it can make you taller or shorter. Last year I got on one and the doctor said I was 6'0-6'1 and didn't even give an accurate number, lol.

Cantstop, I agree that the shorter cast made Nealon seem taller. In fact, I though that made him look taller than 6'4. I used to think he was 6'6 or so. He does slouch a lot, but when he straighrns up he easily looks 6'4.

How is that the most accurate? Even if the person's eyes are level with the top of your head, there are so many flaws with this method. Why even have stadiometers if they're less accurate than measuring tape?

The most accurate measurement is for someone to take measuring tape while you're standing up barefoot and measure you that way.

Those doctor's stadiometers are as accurate as it gets. People are just disappointed after being measured that way and finding out they're not as tall as they thought (usually about an inch shorter).

If I see this guy who is 6'2.5 again which I will soon I should ask him how tall he is and watch him saw 6'4 still after getting measured at 6'2.5 barefoot at the doctors. Those doctor stadiometers aren't always the best to go by either.

Well I knew this guy for 8 years. He would always said 6'4 other than once when he said 6'5. Then last year he was measured at the doctor and said he was 6'2.5 after someone bought up that he was 6'4 since a couple of us were talking about height. Honestly he does look a full 6'3 to me but I have a picture with him when I was 6'0 flat and he doesn't look over 6'2.5. I could try to scan it if I can get someone too. 1.5 inches isn't too much off but its a noticeable difference though for sure. But even before he said he was measured at 6'2.5 I got a feeling he was def under 6'4 because when I met my friend who is a legit 6'5 guy, maybe closer to 6'5.5 was taller than him by a few inches when I compared them by looking at them at different times since I they were never together. Would be interesting to see the 2 together.

There is this guy who did live next door to me who claimed to be 6'4 for years and even 6'5 once but he got measured at the doctor at 6'2.5 even though I thought he was 6'3 flat though.

I am a legit 6'4" (193 cm) and i met Conan here in Italy last year at the RITZ Hotel, that day i had the usual flat shoes and he was going out of the hotel, amazingly i asked him if he's the real Conan o'Brien and he really was!
now, i was in flat shoes and he had the usual suite shoes and i can assure you he was about 1 cm shorter than me. i can absolutely state he is 1.92cm based on personal experience. 6'3 1/2 is his true height and he rounded it to 6.4" when anyone asks.
actually i think he really WAS 6'4", no doubt at all! but at this age NOW he must've lost something and went down a tiny bit.
that's what i saw with my own eyes. :)

If Hasselhoff is 6'5", than Ryan Lee Stiles would have to be 6'7" - but this is obviously not the case (he's generally referenced to as 6'5" or 6'6".) So now that we know Hasselhoff isn't any more than 6'4", we can compare him to Conan in those pics. Seeing that Hasselhoff looks marginally taller, it becomes ridiculous to even mention 6'5" for Conan. He might be 6'4", but lets stop calling him "6-4 or 6-5".

There's no way Conan is 6'2.

And Conan does not wear lifts or anything, you can see that he wears normal dress shoes and when he's somewhere else than on his show he usually wears normal shoes, I saw him here in Finland and he's a huge guy, and his shoes didn't have large heels or lifts inside them, trust me. I saw a picture of him with a fan in Chigago, his fan said he's like 6'2 and conan was right beside him and he was leaning down and making a funny face, and he still was taller than the 6'2 guy.

I seriously doubt a guy as tall as Hasselhoff would be wearing big heels to try to appear taller. If anyone would be wearing big heels, it's Conan. He's the guy always talking about height and boofing his hair up like that lol. Conan's also appeared in the 6'2 1/2'' range next to a number of other celebrities.

He said on his show once "I'm like 6'4 1/2- 6'5". I'd believe it, he is very tall, he looks about 6'4. I guess Hasselhoff was wearing taller heals. They did not show his feet.

Conan looks 6'2 1/2'' in the pic where he's back to back with 6'4'' David Hasselhoff. His boofed up hair just makes him look taller.

Connan didn't quite measure up to 6'4" Hasselhoff. He is probably 6'3.5", and rounds up to 6'4", or goes by his mourning height.

He's got to be under 6'4 now". I'd estimate something like 6'3 1/3"
People lose height as they age, men about 0.75 cm per decade, and women about 1.25 cm per decade. You also have to realize that when we wake up, on average we're 1/2 inch taller than when we go to bed. This effect may be greater in very tall people.
When I was 20, I was 5'9.75 during the day, and 5 10.4" when waking up.
Now I'm going to turn 31 in

Conan visited the president of Finland. She is 172 cm. In this pic she is wearing high-heels and he is not standing up straight. But he is at least 6'4''.

Hmmm... based on some comments, as well as my own observations he seems to be shorter than the likes of David Hasselhoff, Liam Neeson, and Renny Harlin – all said to be 6'4". But then again, Conan has appeared taller than other guys said to be 6'4", like Goran Visnjic. So I guess he's 6'4" to the inch, but maybe not to the centimetre.

In the picture Rob submitted you can see where Conan's hair cut fades from a huge fluff to buzzed sides. Now imagine his whole head buzzed. Would Hasselhoff have atleast 2 inches on him? Their eye levels sort of speak for themselves.

Don't think so, but being that tall (which honestly, is gigantic compared to the majority of celebrties) and with that hair, he can get away with claiming to be.

Craig Kilborn at 6'5" was the tallest talk show host, so Conan should have exagerrated more if he was indeed looking for publicity, which is just a ludicrous notion. I've seen plenty of 6'4" celebrities on his show such as Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Dan Laraquette, etc. and Conan was just as tall as any one of them. And I refuse to believe the guy wears lifts for every episode as I've seen his footwear many times when he's doing his physical bits such as hopping on his desk and he always seems to be sporting normal dress shoes.

I reckon Conan is more like 6'2 1/2'' minus the hair and shoes. He doesn't appear taller than the Rock (who I believe to be no more than 6'2 1/2'') and he was shorter than Micael Clarke Duncan who sure as hell isn't his listed 6'5''. Why would Conan lie about his height? Cuz it generates publicity if he's billed as the tallest talk show host around.

WOW! He's tall! I was watching a preview of an episode with him and Nancy O'Dell (5'9.5" with shoes = around 5'11"-6'0" because she was about five inches shorter than him) I think that this height is correct, however, if Nancy was wearing flats then his height should be downgraded two inches.

Yes, Rob; I think that Conan might be slightly over maybe .5 inch or .75 inch, and that Saget is about an inch under 6'4'', maybe even as low as 6'2.5'' at this age.

When guests come out, the camera is usually behind them or close to them, so it tends to make them look taller next to Conan when they shake hands. I've noticed multiple times that 6'4"ish guests seem taller than Conan, but if they stand next to him in a more centered shot at the end, he is as tall or taller than them.

ehh ignore my comments he probably is 6'4" saw him last night and this time when him and bob saget shook hands they stopped and talked to each other while still standing and they were the same height. IM wathcing the show now and he is only about an inch taller then donald trump. I was judging his height from when they go to shake hands with the celebrities however maybe it is just a weird camera angle. also his hair does make him look taller

"Actually Tim Robbins looked 1 inch taller than conan"
well that is because when conan went to go shake tims hand he leaned in, he always does that. Later on however when the show is closing and conan goes to shake hands with isla fisher and tim the camera turns away right when conan was about to shake tims hand however for that split second it seemed as though from that angle tim was looking up at conan.

i think conan is above 6'4". like 6'4.5". THe thing is when guests come on to his show when he goes to shake there hands he always leans over. When there are taller guests on his show he does not do this and you see how tall he is. He is taller then jeff goldblum and bob saget. Last night big 6'5" Michael Clarke Duncan was on his show and MCD was just slightly taller prob about half of an inch.

Another case in point, when Roger Moore was on Conan right before he had a heart attack or was it a stroke on stage? Anyway he was doing that play in New York.
Well Roger Moore at about age 76, who was listed in his mid 40's while Bond at 6-1, I SWEAR, if anyone can get this show or has ti taped....
Moore stood like half an inch from Conan, they REALLY got close, Conan is a HUGE Bond fan, and a HUGE fan of Roger Moore, it was a strong, genuine, close embrace.
If Roger Moore is STILL 6-1, and if that is STILL without shoes, then Conan is 6-3 without shoes. However is Moore 6-1 without shoes at age 76?
I will give Conan 6-3, and nothing more. Either that or Roger Moore is MUCH taller than people think, as with the height of 6 feet here on this site.
