In trailers for a new show, Keegan lions very similar height to Johnny Knoxville, if anything you’d almost give the edge to him over Johnny. Click Here

How can Chris Berman (ESPN) be 6'4" ? He just stood next to Keegan for the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony. Berman was maybe an inch taller than Keegan?

My guess was a bit over 6ft for him watching 'the Predator'. Near 184 cm anyway.

Interesting seeing him near Dwayne Johnson. Considering he looks considerably shorter than Billy Eichner, it’s doubtful that Keegan is over the listing, Johnson as is often his way recently, looks scarcely over 6’2” in comparison, honestly you’d think Eichner would manage to look in the range of 1.5 inches over Johnson using Keegan as a point of comparison.

He looks 6’0 1/2 - 6’0 3/4 in everything I’ve seen him in. He looks smaller than Barack Obama but not near an inch, more like 1/2 inch. I think 6’0 5/8 is perfect.
Solid 184.5

Rob, are you sure Miles Teller is taller than Keegan? It seem like the opposite way.

Editor Robthey can both look over 6ft, but I can see why some would say Keegan might be the taller...at times I can see that as a possibility.

I swear I saw a video of Key and Peele with Neeson as part of their valet sketches, and Neeson towered Keegan by 4 inches. I had a look but couldn't find anything except the Non-Stop video like you mentioned. It's literally what prompted me to look up Keegan's height in the first place.
Maybe I'm just misremembering. Like I said, I truly thought Keegan was like 6'3 for the longest time, so maybe I did originally see the Non-Stop video and was surprised that he looked noticeably shorter than Neeson at all (whose in the 6'3-6'4 range himself).

He looks the height he claims, thought he was a solid 6'1 tbh. I don't see no reason why he'd lie about his height. Ill give him 185cm

I legitimately used to think Keegan was 6'2 or 6'3 back when I hadn't discovered looking up celebrities (true) heights on this website lol. It wasn't until I saw his video with Liam Neeson that I was at a major disbelief.

Nice to see he claim that height. he has been measured that sometime, the question is what time. He doest sound like a person that lies. If he would have cliamed 6 foot 1 then i would think its a little high. I can believe 185 early in the day and falls down to 184. 6 foot 1/2 inch is my guess Late in the afternoon.

Those Wired autocomplete videos are a godsend for getting height claims LOL. I wouldn't think he's as tall as the 6'0 3/4 he claims, but I still think there's a good chance he's over 6' by a fraction or so. He and Cena looked almost identical at times during the Teen Choice Awards (although I think Cena would probably edge him by a hair if measured).

In this video,Click Here from 7:22-7:40 he says "I'm 6'0 and three quarters of an inch..."
I think he's being honest because Olivia Munn points out 'He's very tall'which a lot of actresses in Hollywood wouldn't say about their male co-stars...
6'0 and 3/4 to 6'1 and 1/4 seems pretty legit.

This morning we had Keegan showing us unusual diets as demonstrated by animals! There was a dog catching and eating bubbles, a cat eating a cardboard box, and pumpkin eating pets! He referred to the cardboard as being 'full of fibre'! Unusual cat nibbling is called 'pica' and for someone who lives in a multicat household, take it from me, it is rather common!
I reckon Keegan looks a strong 6ft and is very likely nearer 6ft and half-an-inch - on a good day!

I am watching 'The Planet's Funniest Animals' and you do see Keegan stand up when he introduces it. He could easily pass for a guy of 6ft1; I know there is nobody to compare him to but I say this just from looking at his bodily proportions.
I think I will go for 6ft0.25.

He does look rather tall, judging purely from his standing position!
