I wanted to have a career in sports when I was young, but I had to give it up. I'm only 6 feet tall, so I couldn't play basketball. I'm only 190 pounds, so I couldn't play football. And I have 20-20 vision, so I couldn't be a referee.

I watched an interview with Jay many years ago where he said that he went for an audition and the casting agent wanted someone who was 6'0". Jay said he was really 5'10" but claimed to be 6'0" to get the role and he stuck to that height for the rest of his career. He's NEVER been over a flat 5'10" and is less today at 72 years old.

I don’t think he was more than 5’10” peak.
He got a lot of mileage out of his poofy hair.

Jay was the same height as Seinfeld - both were 5'11 - he's probably lost about half inch or an inch since peak.

He was 5'10.5"-5'11", so this seems right, more around 5'10" today. Jay Leno is around 5'11" at peak and like 5'10" or slightly over it current height

Rob, if you had to estimate, what would you say the length of Jay's head is? I know a lot of people exaggerate it, but his head still seems a pretty good length.

Just saw a clip of Jay Leno and Arnold swarzengger standing opposite each other discussing cars in particular one of Arnold Mercedes, and jay Leno was taller.
Does that mean Arnold is only 5’9 nowadays?

Rising174, ok I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force words into your mouth.
I'd go as low as 5'10.75 for Leno, Leno and Clooney have the potential to measure within nanometers, They both have massive chins btw.
I still stick to my estimation, but I'd accept a 1/4 or 1/2 in downgrade without an argument.

Looked 178-179 when 195 Kobe Bryant came to the show. Keep in mind Bryant was only 19 at the time so Leno was at his peak height, hasn't lost anything at the time. 178-179 peak for Leno.

@Slim 182: I didn't necessarily say there was. I just said 179 or 180 peak is debatable and probably at least 1 cm less nowadays. But by the time Mamun was on Leno's show, he certainly didn't look more than 178-179 range.

Though unlike Hugh, who claims 5'11", Leno has always claimed to be 6 feet, which is what 95% of 5'11" guys do anyway. Actually, I never looked at Hugh much, but he looked under 5'11" to me with Jimmy Fallon(who is listed pretty accurately at 5'11.5") and Charles Barkley, and keep in mind, Hugh still seemed shorter than 5'11" to me even using my estimate for Barkley as the reference and I believe Barkley is 2 cm taller than Rob lists him.
As for Leno, no way he was only 5'10" flat peak. His stocky build and big head make him give a shorter impression so I can understand how one would imagine him that height, though and it's possible he's around that now in his mid 60s and I do think it's a legitimate question whether he was 5'10.5" or a full 5'11".

I watched a few videos of Leno in the '80's on Letterman's show, and he looked taller when he walked in. Granted, he was in thick cowboy boots I think, but surely they couldn't have given him more than 2 inches? I'm Letterman was 6'1.5" in his prime, then Leno was most definitely 5'11", if not 5'11.5"
Nowadays, though, Leno looks shorter then Fallon, who is listed at 5'11.5". So Jay being about 5'10" today makes sense. He is over 60 after all.

I met Jay Leno at a supermarket in the San Fernando Valley about 10 years ago. Extremely nice guy, BTW. I must say, I was surprised by how tall he was. I'm a solid 5'11", but always taken for 6" (maybe because of my hair), anyway he looked well over 6'1". Unless he's shrunk, believe me, Jay is a very strong 6 footer!!

The difference in posture between Jay and Mamun is drastic. He's still close to 5'11" today. 6'0" for peak is possible, albeit unlikely. Probably a very solid 5'11" for most of his career.

Methinks the person who does not think Jay whould SHRINK in heigth as OTHERS HAVE and DO has NO clue as to the facts.
I am 76, played football in HS and JC, was a Life Guard at both a city swimming pool and a resort hotel in Miami Beach, Fl, as well as being a paratrooper. So the odds are I was in better shape than Leno has ever been.
I USED to be at least 5' 10 3/4"
and I HAVE SHRUNK at LEAST 1/2 an inch.

i'm 180cm at the end of the day but avg 180-181cm throughout the day.
had the pleasure to meet Leno in newyork (it was 9:00 PM) and he looked about 2cm shorter than me, so i think 179cm sounds right.
we had similar footwear, normal formal shoes around 1 inch, his shoes didnt look like elevators.

I also think he's always been 5'10", he did never look as tall as 5'11". I don't think he's shrunk one bit though, perhaps 5'9.75" but then again I have no evidence that his height has changed at all in the last 10 years. But yeah 5'10" for him.

well...I find him one of the harder celebs to judge. I think Jay often looks different with the same celebrity guest on different visits. Of course footwear varies, but with him it seems pronounced.
BTW, Jay's pose in this photo is indicative that he senses that he towers over Mamun. But that could just be Jay's false perception. I think if you ask Jay, considering his self-proclaimed 5-10, he would underestimate Mamun's height.

He never was 5'11". Was always 1" shorter than 5'11" Jerry Seinfeld.
I can accept that, Jerry is a legit 5'11" but that's all, I'd say Jay has to have been more of a 178-179 cm type rather than a 177-178 cm type though.

But yeah, 5'10.5" could still fit him, maybe 5'10.25". I think when Leno was younger he was probably something like 5'11.25" out of bed and 5'10.5" - 5'10.75" as the day wore on. Most people would call that 5'11". Now that he's over 60 years of age, it's very possible that he's lost a little height, especially if he's a motorcycle enthusiast.

Height often comes up in his car videos when hes testing cars and he always says hes a 6ft guy which I sometimes found to be maybe a tad generous. I have no problem believing he was 6ft or even more in his 20s and 30s but like he also often says that the only exercise he does is putting the food in his mouth, it is very likely he shrunk. Weight gain, sitting, bad posture, no exercise does that to you.
If I think about it, on top of all that if you account also for the difference between morning and late evening height, man, youre looking at a considerable difference.

Apparently some people who comment on here think 1 inch is "towering." Shaq standing next to a 5'9 is "towering." 5'10 vs 5'9 is not. If Jay Leno was 5'9 tops as some say, he would look VERY short compared to President Obama, but he doesn't.

The comments on here are varied, and rightfully so. Jay Leno is one of those guys whose height seems to vary somewhat. He sometimes appears to be 5'9", and other times closer to 6'. I would say that he's 5'10". The stated height of 5'11" may be reached when he's wearing shoes with a large sole / heel.

Just saw an episode of test drive on Speed with Tommy Kendall interviewing Jay Leno at his garage full of cars. Tommy Kendall tells the viewers almost every week that he's 6'4" and has trouble fitting in many cars that he's testing. He's standing beside Jay Leno during the entire interview and the top of Leno's head is at the bottom of Kendall's nose. If Leno is 5'11" tall, then something is really wrong. He appears to be 5'10" max. P.S. They are both wearing running shoes and wearing casual clothes.

I'm convinced after seeing last night's show with Coldplay as the musical guest, that Leno is 6ft minimum in shoes. The difference between Chris Martin(6ft1.25) and Leno was roughly 2 inches, the same difference I had with Martin when I met him. I stand 5ft11.75 out of bed, and 5ft11.25 by the evening. With shoes I'm anywhere between 6ft0-6ft1 depending on the type(boots, dress, running, etc.).
5ft11 is a good listing for Leno, since I'm assuimng he does wear a bit of a lift in his dress shoes, or just thicker heeled ones. I'd guess he's anywhere between 6ft0.5-6ft1 in shoes. The footage of Martin and Leno together was taken on an outside stage where they performed, not in the studio, so the usual odd angles when a celeb walks out for the greeting wouldn't come into play.

Just saw Gordon Ramsey on Leno with a good long cooking session on screen where the two of them stood side by side for many minutes. Good equal ground, camera long shot. Much more accurate then judging guests as they walk out and greet Leno at bad angles etc. Ramsey was definately not much more than 2 inches taller, and 2 1/2 is really pushing it. Not 3 inches for sure. Ramsey is most often listed 6'2" and looks it and on this site 6'1.5". Leno appeared very minimum 5'11" and possibly 6" if Ramsey is 6'2". If Jay is only 5'9" then Ramsey would only be 5'11" -5'11.5" which is impossible.

I think I posted here saying he was 5'11, but I just saw him tonight (Sherri Shepherd and Justin Timberlake episode) and I have to take it back.
At the end of the episode he went to greet the band (The B-52) and he seemed way shorter than normal. Justin Timberlake towered over him. Could he have forgotten his lifts?
5'9 tops in my opinion, and a lift wearer.

Okay, I think 5'9" and change is more reasonable at least. I think he's a bit taller, but its not that important.

Believe me ive dated women who were a real 5'8" and 5'9". Being a 5'10" guy I pay attention and tend to stand up straighter when around them hehe. I know the difference between 5'8" and 5'10". The ground wasn't that uneven. That was in my college days and I used to walk around in very flat shoes. I was with a friend (6'0-6'1 guy) who was also stunned by his small stature. Don't get me wrong... I love Jay. But I can't give him more than 5'9 1/4 in the morning! If Jay is 5'11" then I'm 6'0! And I've been measured many times as 5'10".... at the doc.... with friends against a wall etc.

He's not 5'8" supersonic. He can appear about 5'11" in shoes that don't look like lifts. He's in the 5'10" range. The fact that you were on uneven ground makes your perception suspect.

I totally agree with Ken! I met Leno years ago in Seattle's "Univesity District." He was in town for a book signing at the University book store. The ground we were standing on was a bit uneven so I seemed to tower over him.. even so I still don't give him 5'10 because I am 5'10 exactly and I was taller than Jay. I say 5'8... 5'9 tops. Believe me I was shocked! I had always pictured him as 5'11-6'0 and just a thicker guy. He wasn't as stocky as I had envisioned either.

if he is a little under 5'10 then that would have Leno shorter than 5'11. I don't think cowboy boots would give LT a full inch advantage over Leno who is surely in dress shoes; 0.5in at most would be my guess. Maybe an inch over his barefoot height, but not over Leno's height in dress shoes.

Tom Cruise was on Leno last night. If Cruise is 5'7", as stated here, Leno is no more than 5'10". Standing face to face, they looked no more than an inch apart. At the end of the interview, standing side by side, Leno looked 2 inches taller. Of course, all of this does not take lifts into consideration.

Last night Ryan Seacrest and Dennis Leary were on Leno, and what struck me as odd was how much taller Leno was then Seacrest(5ft7.75). Seacrest was easily 4 maybe 5 inches shorter than Leno! That would put Leno at either 5ft11.75 reasonable-6ft0.75 which seems to tall. Now I know they both are rumored to wear lifts, but my guess is Seacrest is even shorter than 5ft7.75, maybe more like pushing 5ft7 to Leno's 5ft11-5ft11.5. I don't buy the 5ft10 comments where Leno is concerned, I think 5ft11 minimum is pretty accurate and possibly taller.
As for Leary he had what looked like 2 inches on Leno while wearing these cowboy heeled boots with his suit. He's very thin now and looks a good 6ft1, but the claims of 6ft3 seem a bit much. I've always doubted that, and if you notice in most of his films and even his standup routines the guy likes to wear boots like that all the time!

Just through casual observation of him with guests over the years I had pegged Jay at 6 feet even, but 5'11" is also possible. No shorter, though.

He's a mystery to me because he has multiple visits by the same guests and seems as though he doesn't compare the same way twice with any guest. I think Conan is much more consistent with multiple visits.

If anybody saw Keven Costner the other night on Jay's show, Kevin had at least 2 inches on him, closer to 3 possibly. That doesnt add up to 5-11 for Leno, more 5-10. And Im not quite sure Jay has ever worn lifts. His shoes look like regular dress shoes to me. And not even the 1.5 kind.

Back to Kidman for a minute. They say that Jay wears varying lifts from night to night. It would stand to reason that knowing that Kidman was going to be on the show, he would wear substantial lifts. I think she and her publicist would like him to do so as well. Could it be that he does and she's still clearing him by an inch or two?!? He could easily be 5-9!

Now, hopefully, here's a good point of comparison for Jay. Joss Stone was on the other night and she was performing barefoot. Jay went up to her after her peformance and stood right by her. I watched pretty intently for height comparisions. Jay looked around 2 to 3 inches taller.
This site lists Stone as 5'10" although I've seen shorter listings.
So, if Stone really is 5'10" then that would put Jay around 6'0". Remember, she was barefoot and he looked possibly 3 inches taller, meaning 6'1". so, if he has on an inch or so heel, he would be 6'0" of Stone is truly 5'10".
But, of course he could have had lifts on, and she might not be actually 5'10".
But, if she truly is 5'10" and he had on only an inch heel, then he was around 6'0", no shorter than 5'11.

He arranges everything on his shows. When he invites guests shorter than him, he makes them look taller on purpose (by any means), when he invites guests as tall or taller than him he puts on his big shoes/lifts (sometimes massive ones) and towers over them, like with Brooke Hogan.

Put some 2"+ lifts in your shoes, 5'9" becomes 5'11"+. With his running shoes I was looking over the top of his head, that's what struck me. At 5'11", I'm looking at his forehead or near the eyes. Plus the hair must add an inch or more.

Josh Groban is only 5'10" at most. In fact, Glenn agrees with me that Groban is probably a max of 5'9.75" if he's standing up straight. That said, I can't remember that particular episode, but I find it hard to believe Jay was shorter than Josh, especially considering Josh is 5'9.75"

I think Tonight show is a good way to estimate heights. 5'10½'' Josh Groban was on the show and Jay looked a half inch shorter.

Jay was barefoot when he walked on something that some worker from a zoo brought to the show. I don´t remember what is was. Jay didn´t look a lot smaller when he took his shoes off, I guess he had no lifts on. I think he is 5'11''. (Average height in Sweden is 5'11'').

I can't decide whether Jay is 5'9" or 5'10" barefoot, but I'm thoroughly convinced he's not over 5'10". I think like any guy in the 5'10" range, he can easily and regularly appear 6'0", and maybe even slightly more with the proper footwear/lifts. I'm a regular watcher of his show, and I can say that all the years I've been watching, I've seen much more proof pointing to him being of average height than proof pointing to him being 5'11" (or more).

SF, good point during school I played sports as well, and everybody always got billed 1 to 2 inches taller, that's why I never buy the listings for prof. athletes, they are almost always off.

Emmitt Smith was just on Jay's show the other night, and he's 5'9" (though, he has been listed at 5'10", but that is his sports height), and Jay was only an inch taller from what I could tell, and they were both in regular heeled dress shoes.

On the 19th of october 06, Jay took of his shoes. A good way to see if he is wearing lifts. No, he wears normal shoes and I compared the height between the guest, a worker (man) from a zoo, standing 2 inches shorter than Jay in shoes. It was the same without. Jay is about 5'11'', give or take.

Hugh Jackman was on the show recently, and he appeared around three inches taller than Leno.
Leno is a genuine 5'11" guy, maybe closer to 6ft.

Anyone ever see him standing next to 5'11" Jerry Seinfeld? We'd know right away how tall Jay is then.

I think maybe Jay was just under 6' with shoes on when he was younger. Now he's older, still using the 5'11" height, he's probably 5'10" barefoot at 8am. I think thats fair.
