6’1” peak seems an understandable estimate. On Murder, She Wrote, Tambor even easily edged out a 6’0.5” listed George DiCenzo and a heeled Dean Jones!

berta, he may well have been 6ft1 in his prime. Looked 2in taller than John Ritter on Three's Company.
Still looks a strong 6ft now.

Well Dean Jones is listed in places at 6'0" and he and Jeffrey were the same height.

Rob, could he have maybe brushed the 6ft1 mark in his 20's?
Saw him on Three's Company and he could appear near 2in taller than John Ritter (solid 5ft11, possibly 5ft11¼). But if he's still a fraction over 6ft at 70 I think it could be very possible.

He stood back to back with Jimmy Fallon on the show not that long ago and came out slightly taller. So, I wouldn't argue below 6ft...

On his several appearances on "Three's Company", he is slightly taller than 5'11" John Ritter. Based solely on this, I would estimate his height at 5'11.75".

He's 70 like he said on the Golden Globes though, I think he's lost a bit of height. Could be a weak six foot now (maybe as low as 5'11.5"), maybe 6'0.5"-6'0.75" at peak.

I saw him onstage in Glengarry Glen Ross. He could have passed for 6'1" though the listing is alright. He was a solid inch or so shorter than Liev Schreiber (by a slight margin, the tallest looking cast member), Alan Alda (when he straightened up) and Frederick Weller and seemed to be taller for sure than Tom Wopat and several inches over Gordon Clapp.

I think he was like 6'1-6'2 on Larry Sanders, he looked pretty tall in comparison to most of the actors on that show.

from what i remember he had a couple of inches on Shandling on Larry Sanders, so around 6 ft sounds bout right (remember when vince vaughan was on there, he made them look slightly dwarfish in comparison). one of the best tv shows of all time, btw...

Bleemo 182-183cm is impossible for this guy. I beleive he was 186cm at his peak and is now 184-185cm today. Just under 6ft1. Still tall.

Since he was like 60 at the time of Arrested Development, I am going to say he was 6'1" at peak but 6'0 1/2" today.

Assuming his shoes are 1", He is almost 6'1" His head touches 6'1 1/2" which would make him an inch shorter roughly if he is wearing shoes that are 1". I would say 6'0 1/2" is close to the truth. Wouldn't go any lower than 6'0 1/4 though.

Nah not 6'1", doesn't quite make 6'1" in shoes in this lineup;

and looks a solid 4 inches shorter then 6'4" John lithgow who may be 1 cm under that height in fact;

He's certainly tallish and not far off the 6'1" mark but I'd peg him at 182cm-183cm by those pics.

Editor Rob 1/2 an inch loss by 62 could be possible.

Tony Hale looks 6'1" to me. This guy claims to be 6'2" but I think 6'1 is perfect. I saw a picture of him next to John Lithgow and he looks exactaly 3 inches shorter than him.

Vince Vaughan was on a Larry Sanders episode once and grabbed hold of Tambor. Vaughan was clearly taller but the difference was 3-4 inches. Tambor did not look dwarfed next to 6'5'' Vaughan.

I've seen him in " Arrested Development" Standing eye to eye with Tony Hale who is supposidly 6'1"(aka Buster Bluth in the show) He is an authentic 6'1".

I saw him in Glengarry Glen Ross. I would have guessed his height 6'1"-6'2". He was slightly shorter than 6'2" Alan Alda (when he strengthened up), 6'2" Fred Weller, or 6'2 1/2"-6'3" Liev Schreiber.

Found this quote from an extra called John Bobby (on his page he states he is 5ft 9) "I've always heard that generally movie and TV stars are pretty short. I found this to be true on my 6th day, when I was standing next to Jeffery Tambor at the Kraft Services line; and I was shocked to see he wasn't much taller than me; he's around 6 foot. From watching him on one of my all-time favorites: The Larry Sanders Show, I would have sworn he was taller."
