Letterman was seemingly shorter than an aging Richard Harris and over an inch under an aging Sean Connery. So how could Letterman have peaked at 6’1” or above? I would have thought 6’0.5” range peak.

I may be one of the few that actually believe his 6´2 claim. He always seemed to edge out jum carrey, arnold and bill murray. There is 0 chanse that he was under 6´1 1/2 peak. I think 6´2 peak lets say 2 mm under.

Dave was a FULL 6'2"-6'2.5" at his peak. Even Robert Plant who was 6'1" in 1993 stood next to Dave and Robert was in high heels and was still shorter than Dave: Click Here

No way he's 6'1.5. I remember his episode with 6'1.5 Ivan Lendl back in '86-'87 and Lendl looked a solid inch taller than him. My guess is 6'.75, maybe 6'1.25 at peak height.

6’1.5 is reasonable for his prime. He looked a bit under 6’2 next to some like Rampage said. Wish I could find the pic of him that I saw with Brett Favre. Favre was legit 6’2” In his prime and still looks around it now

I guess I'm the oddity here. I don't see him 6'1.75". I think he was a solid 6'1.5" though.

He got edged by solid 6ft2 men, even guys passed their prime like Connery and O’Toole. I’d be reluctant to give him that peak although oddly he could look it with others.
6ft1¾ could be a goer

@Vincent: I remember he told Ryan Reynolds that he looked taller than he Claimed. Likely he lost height and wasn’t aware. But 6’1.5 is the highest I could see. I could see 6’1 for Arnold in his prime

If he was 6-1.75 then Arnie is 6-1.25, but if he is listed correctly Arnie struggles for 6-1.

Your link was to a Megadeth appearance on Letterman. I guess you meant Dave Mustaine who's listed 6' generally but 5'11" on this site. Dave looks tallest when closest to camera. Standing close to Mustaine but always on the move, I don't know if I would give Letterman more than 2.5" advantage.

He was a legit 6'2" (claimed to have been measured 6'2.5" by a college friend when he was in school). Here he is next to then 5'11" Dave Grohl back in 1994. He towered him: Click Here

I think 6'1.5" is good for Letterman, no lower, perhaps a touch higher. In a 1987 interview with Trump about 6'2" himself at that time, Dave appeared very close in height, dropping no more than .5" IMO. Letterman also appeared to be dropping about 2" in 1990 to 40/41 yo Foreman who I have at 6'3.5" peak.

@Yang: agreed. Today he doesn’t look over maybe 184. Peak height he was taller however. He was likely 186-187. I would say maybe 1” or 1.25” height loss

Editor RobA full 6ft 2 I've not been convinced upon, but whether 1/4 or 1/2 inch under, I can see how both are feasible...6ft 1 would be too low for his peak.

David Letterman looked almost a full 6'2" in his peak in the 80's and early 90's on his show, so.I think he could've been like 6'1.75" possibly. He looked like a tall man back in those days and lost a good inch since then. He is barely over 6 foot today, next to Obama. He is like 6'0" today probably.

When Huey Lewis made an appearance with David Letterman on his show Letterman looked at least 2'' taller than 6'Huey Lewis. I would say that Letterman is at least 6'2''tall. 6'0 3/4 is a very inaccurate depiction of his height.

I think 6'1/2" sounds right for Letterman - just watched a clip of him and Michael Caine in 1988 and Caine is noticeably a bit taller when they greet each other standing up.

I always thought it was funny on "late show" that when an actor of the taller variety..IE a Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, etc...would come out on stage, Dave would wait comfortably behind his desk for them to come over and he'd shake their hands from there. BUT when an actor of the shorter variety would approach the stage...IE a tom cruise, mel Gibson, sly Stallone, etc.., Dave would rush out and meet them half way and shake hands, actually pausing for what appeared to be a photo shoot..lol as for his prime height, ill go with 6'1.5"..6'2.5" in shoes, which he actually claimed on an episode a supermodel was guest and shared her height...elle McPherson I think it was?

Canson you are the one who compares every one to Ali. I found videos of David Letterman with various people. None of those people have factual measurements besides George Foreman. So if George Foreman was measured at 6'3 and Letterman at the time was only a inch shorter than Foreman then Letterman would have to be 6'2. You typing Lol proves what? How internet cool you are. Also if you think Foreman is 2.5 inches taller than Letterman in the video I put up then I suggest you get some glasses.

I don't think letterman was ever that tall honestly. He's no more than 6'0" today and was probably max 6'1" peak or weak 6'1". The 6'1.5 is a shoes height. Don't know if everyone notices but he sometimes stands on the incline when he greets guests and can appear taller at times
Lol Harry Sachs compares everyone he discusses to George Foreman. What's your obsession with him

The only time I saw David Letterman was when I hunted about online to see him interview Liv Tyler!
I wasn't any the wiser after the interview, though I could tell that he was tall, but 5ft10 Liv is well over 6 foot with high heels!
I'll agree with just under 6ft1 for today's height and 6ft1.5 for his peak.

There is no way Letterman is over 6 feet tall. Letterman is no more than 5'9 today. In the Documentary years of Living Dangerously he is in India filming about the dangers of Coal and the lack of electricity. In one part of the segment he is talking to a tailor who had his custom fitted for India Attire. The tailor stood a good 3 inches taller than Letterman and the tailor looked about 5'10. Letterman has a waste size of 37' and a chest size of 41'. There is no way he is 6 feet tall. There was a scene in the documentary where he and the tailor are on a roof talking about India's use of Diesel Generators due to the power outages. For an American man letterman is really not that tall and not that big. He looks extremely skinny next to the Indian Tailor and shorter. For Lettermen to be 6 feet tall his waste size

He looks more like a strong 6 footer or weak 6'1. 6'2.5 Will Ferell had almost 2 inches on Letterman standing right next to him. A legit 6'1 Obama looked taller than Letterman, but can't figure that because they weren't standing on even ground (perhaps Letterman knew he'd appear shorter next to Obama lol).

Just watching him now and there is a guy that comes on pretending to be New York Mayor Bill Di Blasio, he is at least 4 inches taller than letteman, if somebody knew who he is and his height that would be a good comparison as they are both standing upright next to each other Infront of the camera.

Letterman is 185cm most, more like 183cm. A large majority of celebs lie about their height so now even those who don't are considered taller than they are.

I just saw Will Farrell on Lettermen and Lettermen was standing right next to him and Farrell had Dave by at least 3-4 inches. Either Dave Shrank or Farrell is taller than 6'3

Joaquin Phoenix was on the show recently and they were both standing next to each other at some point during the interview and there was certainly not 5.5 inches difference in height between them. I think either Joaquin needs an upgrade or Letterman needs a downgrade.

Looks no way near 6'2, looks like 5'11 next to 6'3 will ferrell. And even with other celebs like cameron diaz in heels she's 5'8 and in heels she's about 6'0 and she's got an inch on him. If you look at his shows you see how he gets towered, by real 6'2 guys. Also the fact that I am 187.6 cm, and my girlfriend is 5'8. I still am comfarably and noticably taller than her on with 4 inchheels. And my brother is 6'4 yet in photos I look about 2/2.25 inches smaller than him, whereas david who's supposedly 187cm gets towered by will ferrel by a noticable 5 inches as he's just above his nose. I don't buy he's a 6'1 or 2. I think his peak height possibly 6 foot, current height 5'11

Actually a weak 6ft2 is possible aswell for Letterman's peak.
Rob, you're right about Chris Elliott. I saw a few clips of him and Letterman from the 80s up to most recent and he consistently looks very close to if not the same height. Must be at least 6ft1.

I saw Huey Lewis as a guest on David Letterman. Huey Lewis is a legitimate 6'tall. When Letterman was standing next to Lewis he looked about 2'' tall than he is. So I would suffice to say that Dave is approximately 6'2''tall.

So, he had Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston (measured 6'3.25") do his Top Ten, last night. I saw absolutely no more than two inches between the two. Letterman has not lost a lot of height. At his absolute lowest I'd say 6'1", but he really does look this listing. He remains looking consistently taller with men of average height, and he still looks taller than six-foot-even men.

"Peak height was 6ft 2in (188cm)"
Looked it in the 80s-90s and is probably still close to it now. I'm not his biggest fan. Quite frankly I find him to be quite annoying at times. But, I think he's honest about his height. I read somewhere he claimed 6ft2.5 aswell.

Tyler the Creator is easily 6'2". I'm 6 foot and he towered over me when I met him and he was barefooted (someone stole his shoes when he was crowd surfing).
Letterman lost weight after his heart surgery and he's someone who lost weight with age instead of gaining it. He's not hiding his weight loss, it's obvious.

Greg you have to watch the shows again when he shakes their hands, they are on even ground. He wears boat shoes. No lift there. Sometimes when celebrities do the top ten, he goes to shake hands with them and he is usually taller. Next to romney a while back ago, romney was slightly taller and he is 6 foot 2 but i think he had a shoe advantage. David is 187cm but the funny thing is, some nfl players always seem to stand him up. He is an enigma. Some things can't be explained.

All you have to do is copy the address from the web address bar and paste it here. Rob's got it set up so it automatically creates a link. Like I said before, whenever I watch the show Dave is on the elevated stage and his guest is standing on the floor, so I'm interested in looking at these moments you're finding that can actually be used to accurately determine height to a reasonable degree. So far, the best evidence I have is the photo above with 5'10.5'' Alan Light in which Dave looks no taller than 6'0.25''.

He was taller than hugh jackman when he did the interview this year and if hugh jackman is definetly 6ft 2 letterman would have to be at least 6ft 2 and it isnt the camera angle because letterman had his head titled down when shaking his hand, i would definetly say he is 6ft 2 at least.

So you think he is a 6 foot celebrity claiming to be 6 foot 2. That seems unreasonable. He doesn't look like a liar but i don't know anymore. 187cm. He was clearly taller than craig ferguson who is a legit 6 foot 1 or more. He was taller than nadal. A six footer cannot be taller than those guys. 187cm.

The rock is 6 foot 3. Was he wearing huge boots vegas? What do you think his height is vegas? 6 foot? Even next to johnny depp, there's a big difference. He must be a magician if he is only 6 foot. In that photo above he looks barely 6 foot. If that is his real height. There must be an optical illusion on the show. I can't explain this phenomenon. Vegas help me explain it? He is not a lift wearer. He wears old man boat shoes. I don't know anymore.

He never wears lifts. He wears these weird boat shoes that have an inch lift max. When will smith hugged him on the show, david was slightly taller and will had dress shoes. They have an inch and a bit lift. 187cm. Has he ever said his height rob? He must be a magician creating the illusion he's 187cm. I can't explain it. He was clearly 7cm taller than jerry seinfield who people say is 180cm. He had more lift in shoes. Jamie oliver is not short, he always looked 5 foot 10. David was much taller than him. I think he was crouching next to kid cudi because there is no way he is shorter than 6 foot.

I'll give you that Silent d, does appear to be an anomaly cause it doesn't look like cudi could be wearing lifts as he's wearing off the shelf trainers. Whatever the secret is here I'd love to know so I could stand eye to eye with a 6 ft + person

@Danimal: I looked at two videos of Letterman in '95 when Montana appear on his show. If Montana is/was 6'2" then Letterman did look the same height as Montana. It's strange because in the above photo, he doesn't look like a 6'2" man at all.

That photo does not make sense. How could he look so tall next to ashton kutcher, will smith, robert pattinson, jim carrey, nadal and he is a giant next to the music guests. All legit 6 foot plus guys. When adam sandler went on a couple of days ago. At least 12cm difference. Assuming sandler is 5 foot 9, david letterman is a legit 187cm. Adam sandler is 177cm so 187cm seems correct.

Even when younger, he never looked 6'2". A strong 6'0"/weak 6'1" sounds more accurate for him.
Oh YES he did. There are clips on youtube of him and John Candy from the early 1980's and Dave was barely shorter than him. There is so much proof that he was at least 6'2" peak. Him and 6'2" Joe Montana from the early 1990's (same exact height). Been watching Dave since before you were probably born and he was every bit 6'2" during the day and as mentioned before, 6'2.5" first thing in the morning. Today's he probably scraping 6'1" at 64 years old.

I don't have evidence but i always watch the late show when i can. He was taller than nadal who is 6 foot 1. A six footer cannot be taller than a person who is 6 foot 1. Just look it up on youtube or something. He was slightly taller than bill cosby and cosby is 6 foot 1. I can live with 187cm. He never looked short. He always stands tall next to his guests. Just look at old footage. That photo is an anomily. It is weird. It doesn't make sense. He wears weird boat shoes on the show. Pretty much a flat sole. When he greets the guest you can see how tall he is. No tricks. He is a tall old man with good posture.

I could MAYBE buy 6'2 at his peak, but nowadays he's definitely shorter than that. 6'1 tops today and probably closer to 6' even, at least if he was really shorter than Obama who btw is max 6'1. The pic with Alan also shows that Letterman is between 6'-6'1 and not 6'2.

An old acquaintance of mine when she was on the Letterman program about 4-5 years ago. She always claimed 6-3 but I'm pretty sure from having known her, at the least she's rounding down (she may be over 6-4). BTW, she wasn't wearing heels!

He cannot be 6'1.5 because he was shorter than Obama who is
slightly over 6'1.
Letterman is the same height as Clinton. Both are a hair under 6'1.

That's not true. Letterman claims to be 6'2.5, not 6'2. He's said it numerous times. I think the 6'1.5 claim is right and I kind of always thought he was about 6'2...probably a hair under even back then.

lol if that guy is really 5'10.5 Letterman can never be 6'1.5 let alone 6'2
but then again Craig Ferguson was on his show lately and Letterman wasnt shorter than him at all, in fact if anything he was slightly taller

I would peg Dave at 6'1.5 with the shoes he wears on the Late show never looked 6'2 when I seen him in person a couple of times , he is a fairly tall guy though most people can see that, but at times when he is dressed in street clothes he seems shorter than when he has the suit on , but 6'1.5 seems right on for him.

If Letterman was a full 6ft2 at peak then 6ft2.5 isnt that laughable. He might be a strong 6'1 if not a bit more now because he looks similar height to Jim Carrey.

I agree James. David Letterman looks a tad shorter than Jim Carrey so unless Carrey is actually 6'2.5 then I'd Say Letterman was 6'1.5 in his prime.

I have seen David after the show in the mid 90s , once he came out to sign autographs and do a skit in Ruperts. He had on his collage type jacket and converse sneakers and he was no 6'2 ,I was 5'10.5 back then and truthfully he did not seem too much taller than my self back then, he does indeed seem taller on the show and in his suit, on the street he does look much shorter , he was slouching a bit to sign the autos but even when he straightened up he was not as tall as I expected. He seemed not even 6'1. but he was wearing flat converse sneakers ,mabey if he leans back and straightens up he can be 6'1 6'2 with small lifts. 6'.5 with converse shoes ,and 6' bare foot

That's right. He's an inch taller than Tony Parker (6'1') The same exact height as Jim Carrey, and about an inch shorter that 6'3" Will Ferell say. And he says he used to be more like 6'3" when he was younger. So, 6'2".

Having seen Letterman last week with Eli Manning, I'd say these days Dave is a solid 6'. Eli, who is around 6'5" or so, towered over Letterman by a good 5-6", and Dave looks to be about 2" taller than Colin Farell (5'10") was on Friday's show.

David letterman never claimed to be 6'2", he always says on his talk show "Im about 6'1" and i think 6foot to 6"0.5" is more like it. Especially when he stands next to Stallone, he doesnt like all that tall.

Dave has always claimed to be 6"2". Most people get shorter with age. I guess you can thank "Good O' Gravity" for that. Jim Carey has alway claimed to be 6"2" aswell. I would say they are 6"1" to 6"1" 1/2 NOT 6"2"

Well said Jackie and you had me laughing out loud when you said that you were scared there would be nothing left of you by the time your reached your 60's/70's. I take it you stopped growing at 13 then?
My mother went from 5'2 3/4" to 5'1" by 50? My step father went from 6'1 3/4" to 6'0" by 50 as well. To say that a 60 year old man does not lose any height is just plain ignorant. Do some research and realize that we ALL lose height. It's usually about .5" every decade after 40. Some say as early as 30. Women lose more height than men due to osteoperosis.

Hi Rich,
Well, it is not strictly age related, whether or when one loses height. I lost a quarter of an inch between age 12 and 13, causing me to panic, thinking there'd be nothing left of me by the time I was in my sixties or seventies! LOL
Lifestyle is also a very important factor. Some people stop growing in their teens, some in their (early) twenties. Christopher Reeve famously gained a little over an inch when he was on a strict work-out regime before the first Superman movie. In my family I had people who never lost height, well into their eighties, just lost weight. I also had people in my family who shrunk at an alarming speed. Diet and
physical activity are major factors that help keep any aging process back for at least a while.

Saying he's not old enough to lose inches isn't quite correct. He's pushing
60, is he not? I just turned 50, and I'm an inch shorter than my high school years
at 5' 8". Wahhh.Those old discs tend to start drying out and compressing at some point!!

Dave Letterman is 6'2" still. He's not old enough to lose any inches. He's exactly the same height as Jim Carrey. They showed them standing right next to eachother on a show a few years back. And Tony Parker is only 6'1" but appeared to be a little bit taller maybe when he was on Letterman. But Dave's still 6'2"

Yep, best personality on tv, right on. Tom Shales said so about 10 years ago, and he was right on. Looked a couple inches shorter than Tony Parker tonight, whose listed at 6-2, I think Dave is still closer to 6-1 though now, athlete's posture prob. made Porker look even taller.
