How tall is Jon Stewart

5'7 and a fraction said on 1/Oct/22
Looks proportionally taller.

Danimal 176.7cm said on 19/Oct/20
He claimed 5'7" on his old talk show back in 1994-1995 when he wore the leather jacket and had on musicians like Van Halen and Danzig.

Yang (5 footer 8, 172-173) said on 29/Sep/19
He seems like 5ft 6 guy but his long head gives an illusion of taller men with 6ft above...

Nathan Joshua Wood said on 3/Dec/18
Rob, how big do you think his head is? It looks huge for a guy of his height

IRememberWhenRockWasYoung said on 1/Sep/18
On TV you get the impression that he's a guy in the 6'1-6'3 range based on his tall head alone. He probably has very short legs and a normal torso. The difference between him and Bill O'Reilly in size is comical.

Bennett said on 28/Oct/17
Stewart listing is much accurate than other tv host in this site.

josh jeffords said on 15/Mar/17
Funny but very odd guy, and now crazy how nice.
Anyway always looked a bit under average.

Rob, Can you tell me how much is Basem Yousef's height ? Aka ' Hon stewart of Egypt " you can check his pics with Hon aswell
Thank u

Keaton said on 10/Oct/16
Looks a little under 5'6.5"

Sam said on 22/Aug/16
Probably irrelevant to Jon's height, but Xavior Woods looked no taller than him at SummerSlam. Maybe even 5'6. His billed 5'11 height is as bad as Mysterio's 5'6, if not worse if Jon is only 5'6 flat which is implied in his claim.

Micho said on 23/Jul/16
OMG Why I thought he's 6'2

5'6.5 Indiana jones guy said on 4/Jul/16
Can he look 167 cm at times?

5'6.5 Indiana jones guy said on 28/Jun/16
Any possibility of him at a 5'7 peak?

Phil said on 27/Jun/16
He is such a funny guy. 5 foot 6 and a half.

sienadog said on 3/Jun/16
On "The Daily Show," many cast members have confirmed various heights, but not all of them seem to be accurate. Jon Stewart for one looks definitely 5'7". Then there is another star of the show who has her very own show on TBS "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee." Samantha claims to be 5'7," but I beg to disagree with that one. Kristen Schaal looks as 5'6" as she says she is. I believe Samantha to be a very lucky 5'6", perhaps a 5'5", but 5'6" tops. When I look at pictures of Samantha with Jon Stewart, she does not tower over him all that much nor does she tower over Kristen Schall.

A lot shorter than I thought

MD said on 1/Oct/15
I guess some people see different things, but he's almost always struck me as a classic short guy. Like, even in solo pictures he appears short. It's even more apparent when he's not in suit. He's quite a bit heavier than he looks on television.

Wow said on 30/Sep/15
He looks MUCH taller than what he is. Out of all people who are short on TV that i've ever seen he is the best illusionist. He appears as a normal, average height guy 5'9-5'10 range - you'd never expect him to be a 5'6 guy.

Jon Srewart is around 5'5,165-166cm no more then that.

I'm 5'6 3/4" tall and I once saw John Stewart in an elevator. I could see the top of his head. No way he's 5'7".

Danimal said on 28/Dec/14
Bart says on 9/Apr/14
John Stewart is a Napoleon Complex 5'6".... Meaning, his personality is that of a man even shorter than his physical height.... His big mouth makes him seem a bit bigger on TV, via a shortened set, and etc....

Sounds like you don't like his politics and so you're making it personal.

Danimal said on 28/Dec/14
Barker says on 26/Dec/14
Jon is 5' 4 3/4" in his bare feet, if he strecthes.

Does that make you feel like a bigger man by saying that?

Danimal said on 28/Dec/14
He's claimed 5'8" in the past as well as 5'7" and 5'6".

BGee said on 28/Dec/14
5'6 at his lowest.

I'd always thought he was in the 5ft10 - 6ft1 range. He hides it well on TV.

Jones said on 19/May/14
@ dwerb "Most good musicians and actors are not very tall" Most people in general are not very tall. I think that only about 5% of the population qualifies as "very tall". IMO very tall is 6'3+

Sam said on 2/May/14
Caught a bit of (the all-time classic) Big Daddy on TV the other day and I wouldn't guess under 5'7" from his appearance there as he doesn't appear that much shorter than Adam Sandler.

Brad A. said on 25/Apr/14
Hey Rob, how tall do you think Stephen Colbert is, 5'10?

It's possible but most comedic celebrities in his size range crack jokes about their stature.

Randy said on 16/Nov/13
@mjd: What pontificator said isn't much different from what you said, I don't see why you had to nitpick over a half inch. Are you by any chance 5'6.5" trying to convince pontificator that you're in average range? Because IF so, you can't for two reasons. 1) The 68% is actually 5'7-6'0" from the 5'9.5ish average, meaning 6'1" (outside of standard deviation) IS tall (as you type it) in the same way 5'6" IS short. 2) You are still below 5'7" at 5'6.5". You can round your height up all you want, but like the 20.5 year old who is still a 20 year old and unable to drink (in the US), you still carry that 5'6" prefix and are still below the 68%.

NXR said on 15/Nov/13
@mjd:

"Although 5'9 is "average" that does not mean most men are 6'9."

I think you meant to type 5'9" here. Anyway, I don't see what 'pointificator' said that yielded such a 'nitpick', what he said wasn't THAT far off from what you said. For the record, regarding the 68%, why do you include 5'6 1/2"? Oh wait, I know, the half rounds up, a 5'6.5" guy can call himself can round up to 5'7", the beginning of 'average range', thus deeming him part of the 68% and living happily ever after unlike the 5'6" 'on the dot' guy in the corner, BOO HOO for the 5'6" flat guy, am I in the ballpark with this? If you say yes, then you are WRONG!!!!!! Like a 20.5 year old who's not 21 and able to drink, the 5'6.5" guy is NOT 5'7" hence how he still carries the 5'6" prefix in his height. He is just a legitimate/strong 5'6"-er, nothing more, nothing less.

mjd said on 28/Oct/13
@pontificator. Hate to nitpick. You said at 5'6 1/2, Jon is short. But at 6 foot, someone is tall. You wrote "but barely" in brackets. 3 inches down from 5'9 1/2 is Jons height. 3 inches up from 5'9 is 6 foot. Thus, 5'6 1/2 is short "but barely" in the same sense that 6 foot is tall *but barely.

68% of American males fall between 5'7 (lets include Jon's 5'6 1/2) and 6'1. This is a normal bell curve variation. Although 5'9 is "average" that does not mean most men are 6'9. It merely means when you average out the height distribution - most of which falls between 5'7 and 6'1 - you end up with 5'9 1/2.

To be called "short" in any meaningful sense, you would have to fall outside the normal range. A guy who is 5'3 or 5'4 is conspicuously short. 5'5 is short, but more common. 5'6 is even more common. And as you enter the 5'7-6'1 area, you're entering 68% of men.

Tall, on the other hand, would have to parallel the short. If 6'1 corresponds to 5'7, 6'2 would be about as common as 5'6. 6'3, as common as 5'5. 6'1 IS tall, however you cut it. But yes, in the world of basketball and volleyball where men on the extreme of the curve tend to gravitate, it is a smaller height. In the NBA, for example, average point guard height is 6'1 3/4. The smallest position on the court requires a height that only 2-3% of American males possess. 6'8, a height you find at the wing positions, occurs 1 out every 16,500 births.

So, in context, 6'1 is tall, 5'7 is short, but both are relatively common heights in males.

uwman said on 16/May/13
For Spinoza. I don't know the reasoning or logic behind it but I think at least in American society being tall is looked upon as being a positive thing. People seem to like tall men, find them more attractive and maybe just more impressive. I'm only 6'0 and I get a lot of attention for being "tall" even though I don't consider myself to be so. My dad is 6'4 and I have seen him get even more positive attention for his height...I can't explain it, but I do think it's a reality in the same way some of my muscular guy friends get attention for their biceps and stuff lol

TNTinFL said on 25/Mar/13
I think 5'6.5" is actually about right. He was always much shorter than most guests on his show.

Voiceless Dental Fricative said on 20/Jan/13
He said "5'6 - 5'7 range" when Paul Rudd was a guest on his show.

Johnnyfive said on 11/Dec/12
Stewart looks much taller than 5'6 range in Big Daddy and The Faculty. In Big Daddy he only apoears about an inch or inch an a half shorter than Adam Sandler and in The Faculty he towers over 5'5 Elijah Wood. I could've sworn he was 5'8 minimum!

Sam said on 5/Nov/12
He was taller than Al Roker and only a weak 1.5"-2" inches shorter than Matt Lauer in the Hurricane Sandy benefit. I never knew either were that short:

the pontificator said on 22/Oct/12
below 6 feet is short? maybe in the netherlands. In the US, average male height is 5' 9.6". Jon's a few under average, hence 'short'. A six footer is a few inches above average, hence 'tall' (but barely). I'm 6' 1" and in the world of Tall Men, like playing basketball or volleyball, I'm a runt.

dwerb said on 22/Oct/12
look at it this way most good musicians and actors are not very tall.it means nothing(or maybe it means being shorter and hearing all the stuff growing up makes shorter people better at things because they gain strength inside and more talent).only people who are insecure or ignorant will comment about height in a negative way.have confidence in who you are and don't dwell on something you have no control over(none of us have control over height,race,where we are born or anything else like that so use your head).there will always be disrespectful dumb people out there.believe in yourself and you will have the right tall and short people drawn to you.there are good people every where tall and short.

VSC said on 21/Oct/12
Don't really care about his height, but just saw him on Night of Too Many Stars standing next to Chris Matthews and Bill O'Reilly and they looked tall compared to him.

BG said on 11/Oct/12
Tall people have the advantage, both socially and economically, at least in the USA. Of course this is a generalization, but true... in general.

Spinoza said on 7/Oct/12
I believe it would be useful if each of you who visit this site regularly explain why you care about a person's height ? . In particular why many who have commented believe short stature is a disability or an attribute that should be hidden ?

Etoile said on 21/Aug/12
Per Sam's comment of Dec 19th, Jon just explicitly demonstrated this technique on the Aug 16, 2012 show. He shakes hands while the guest is still on the floor level, then when they step up onto the podium he is already far away behind his desk. He doesn't mention his height but he does confirm this is his "short guy" technique.

Sophia said on 20/Aug/12
Its funny because there was recently an episode where he described the though process behind his introduction of interviewees and how it does make him look taller.

Matt said on 10/Jan/12
@Carl,
So you're saying 5'9"-5'11" is short? 5'11" being only 1 inch from being 6' is short? How the **** does that make sense. LOL!

MD said on 20/Dec/11
This is a trick that a lot of talk shows use. David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon have the a similar kind of setup, except that on John Stewarts show, the guest ****s even further away from the host than in most so it makes it even harder to compare heights. It's kind of funny, because Stewart often disparages himself about his height when some of his guests come on, but I guess the actual producers of the show don't want to draw attention to it.

Sam said on 19/Dec/11
On The Daily Show, I notice it's hard to compare guests heights to his. First the guests usually come up the edge of the elevated stage on which Stewart is standing to greet them (a step above them) and then they go to their seats where I guess theres a certain camera angle that gives the impression of Stewart behind his desk being just about equal in height to the guest, even when in reality they're several inches taller than him. A recent example of this was when 5'11" listed Ralph Fiennes was on.

the AMAZING Babushka said on 23/Nov/11
wow.. he looks taller. i would have given him at least 5'8" to 5'9".. i am shocked at his height actually

austrianguy said on 21/Nov/11
Its really hard to believe, that he is that short. He looks much taller than alot of entertainment folks, claiming that height. Look at pictures with him besides Steve Carell, they look very even. And Sandler and Colbert (both 5'10) appear to have 2 inches on him at best. I'd give a weak 5'8.

Carl said on 10/Nov/11
Clint Eastwood was on the other night and he only looked slightly taller than Stewart even though he is listed at 6'2" most places.I know Clint has probably lost some stature but I wonder if he was ever over 6 foot. Btw, any man under 6 foot is short.

Maximus Meridius said on 1/Sep/11
Rob is it possible he is the 5ft 7in range.

Petya said on 23/Aug/11
He must be around 5'4" because I'm only 5'11" and I felt like a giant next to him.

I keep forgetting he's this height. Joe Scarborough claimed Stewart has a Napoleonic complex.

Funny how some people here call him "short" and "pretty short" but Napoleon (who was exactly Jon Stewart's height) is not called short in this website. Just visited his page and everybody's saying he's "rather tall for his time". After all, there's where "napoleonic complex" comes from.

leonari said on 6/Jul/11
Strange... People very often assume this guy is at least average.

John said on 26/Apr/11
I just walked by him near my office in SoHo and he was with his kid. He looked to be just about 5'7" (I'm 5'9" btw).

yameak said on 21/Apr/11
nice, i never would have guessed, that's around my height

Evelyn said on 17/Dec/10
As a woman of near average height, I have always felt uncomfortable if a man is too tall. I am 5´3" and find men around that height or just a little taller very sexy. Just proves that tall is not everybody´s cup of tea. Most of the world is short, not tall. Besides, shorter people are more environmentally friendly according to an article I read; they need fewer resources to sustain themselves. :)

PatB said on 16/Dec/10
How strange! I hadn't been on this site for months then yesterday 12/15/10 I read in some political comment that Jon Stewart was short. So I looked here and found out that he is indeed pretty short.

Then last night I happen to tune Stewart in, which I seldom do. Probably I watched him because I had just looked him up here at Celerity Heights.

He is interviewing some comedian who describes himself as short. Stewart asks him how tall he is and he says 5'10". Stewart explodes. He can't believe that anyone 5'10" could ever be called short. It was obviously a sore point for him although he was quite funny in the way he handled it.

His guest then asked Stewart how tall he had thought that he was. Stewart said something about being in the 5'6" to 5'7" range. He said 5'6" in a way as to suggest that this was normal and 5'10" was quite tall.

Stewart also talked about O'Reilly and Sigourney Weaver as freaks. He wouldn't get off the subject of height.

Two conclusions emerged; first Jon Stewart is probably about 5'6" or 5'6.5". If were 5'7" he would have said so. And secondly he dreams of being 5'10". He is a man obssessed with his own stature.

Benji said on 11/Dec/10
Jon Stewart looks tall on tv but he is only 5'5! He was same height as Tom Cruise when they shoot hands.

paul86 said on 7/Dec/10
Believe it or not but he was once listed 5'11' when Big Daddy came out!

5ft 7in is not exactly short for a man because it's only between 2 and 3 inches below average.

On the first episode of his older MTV show he had Howard Stern on and told him that he was 5'5".

I know the guy. Depending on the amount of water he drinks during the day he varies between 5'6.5 and 5'7.

Lego said on 19/Apr/09
looks 169-170cm in 1999 with Gillian Anderson who had 2 inches heels, he was maybe 1 inch taller but who knows what was he packing in the shoes.

to me he's 169-170cm, not more than 170 but possibly 168cm on the lower side.

I see jon all the time, he's tiny, I'd say 5'5" tops but more like 5'3"

ken said on 25/Jan/09
funny, Stewart knows he's short for sure. There's a youtube clip where Conan is a guest on Stewart's show. Stewart introduces Conan as "the tallest talk show host on the planet (knowing he'll have to stand next to Conan and shake hands). I know Conan is 6'5 but seriously, Stewart looks like a dwarf. also his seat is raised a foot higher than the guest seat...

leonari said on 20/Jan/09
Annoyed: you are 100 % right. He is 5'7" or a tad over when walking and in the evening he is 5'6.5". Never goes below that mark.

leonari said on 20/Jan/09
Jason W: Watch that movie again. No he doesn't look the same as Sandler.Watch the scene when they walk in the Park. He looks way shorter but he doesn't look really short. looks over 2 inches shorter but they used wise camera angles to create that impression. If you mean that: yeah you are right.

he looked basically the same height as Adam Sandler in Big Daddy.

Annoyed said on 21/Nov/08
he said 5'7" when interviewing Bill O'The Clown, so he is in actualy fact simply rounding up like most people do. im 5'8" in the morning and 5'7.5" in the evening, If someone says to me, what height are you? I'll sometimes round up almost without thinking " im 5'8" " I dont take the time to go " well, I'm 5'8" in the morning but I shrink down over the course of a day to 5'7.5" , so you could say 5'8" OR 5'7.5" depending on what your preference is. " NO , I will just say " 5'8 " " and sometimes i'll just say " 5'7" " lol. He is prolly doing the same. Id imagine he is around 5'7" in the morning and falls to about 5'6.5" maybe.

Danimal said on 18/Nov/08
He also claimed 5'8" on an early Jon Stewart Show (1994-1995).

leonari said on 18/Nov/08
i agree. The man is probably a tad over 5'6" but not a full 5'7". Still more honest than most celebs.

A-Bomb said on 18/Nov/08
Yeah i saw the old clip of his former when he said he was 5'6" - and now that I regularly watch The Daily Show I can voutch that whenever he's mentioned his height he's given it as 5'7" (as he did recently with O'Reilly) but I just dont see his as 5'7". In his shoes, 5'7", yeah sure, but out of them 5'5 1/2" at the smallest, 5'6" tops.

Woah I thought he was at least 6ft and I thought Conan was a short guy! And Jon does look like Conan's little brother on this video I watched...Haha this is coming off as a shock to me, haha

here is a case of robs mysterious half inches that makes most sense.i heard him say 5-6,and others heard him say 5-7 as his height.he seemed 5-6 to me in the old days,and 5-7 now when i see him.so im confused.

abby said on 29/Mar/08
I think it would be cool if he was 5'7", because that's my height... But I actually thought he was at least 6 ft!

Either way, he's still a very attractive man :)

OutBenchThis said on 25/Feb/08
On an E! Oscar special yesterday, the female interviewer said to Stewart, "you're 5'9", right?" He smiled and said "yes". She said Ryan Seacrest was also 5'9" and said Seacrest had been curious why all the best presenters were under 5'11". 5'9"!! Why don't they just round it up to 6ft!

leonari said on 25/Feb/08
on the oscars he makes 5'6.5 " look tall. Nice angles, the tux... But he surely is not over 5'6.5". Never.

Jeppe Larsen said on 4/Jan/08
Jon Stewart is the perfect example on how ones perception of height is easily fooled, I can say for my part. He does look sort of big an masculine behind that desk, doesn't he? But it often shows when he stands up and welcomes the guests. More than once he has commented on their height, for instance Connie Nielsen (in high heels) in 2003

Socom said on 7/Dec/07
He looks 5'9 to me, but looks can be decieving. I say 5'6.75 now.

Parte said on 8/Nov/07
I forgot to add... he's much shorter in our kitchen than he is in our living room.

Parte said on 8/Nov/07
Wow... I thought I was lame for being curious about his height, but this thread is ridiculous! ;-)

When I first saw Jon on tv he looked quite tall. Then I saw him on another talk show and realized he was pretty short compared to other guests. Now I see that he's really tall on his show, but short on other shows unless he has a tall guest on or the guests on the other show are all short.

He must just be short for his height.

Wrong thread, Sam?

Rob, you should finally change this one.

if we all agree that cuba gooding jr is 5'10 Tom can't be that tall because he was shorter than him in Jerry Macguire. I'm more inclined toward a 5'8 - 5'9 estimate.

Your right.Im 5-6.cant you tell by the 1000+ pics? did you forget your meds today?

Snarkygirl said on 21/Nov/06
Glenn thanks for your confirmation but you are actually muuuuuuch shorter than you say you are. I have confirmation of that in one of my lost photos.

I think Jon Stewart is great for admitting his short stature without lying, plus I have seen many taller women go on his show and take a liking to him. Whatever it is, Stewart has it.

Thank you! ;-)

He's 5-6.and I heard him say that.Im a couple inches bigger in this lost photo I have.

It's strange the way I just pictured him as tall. When I heard 5'7", that was a shock... but hey, gimme a break, all those other late-night-talk-show hosts are tall! (shorter is better, by the way.)

Jon Stewart is pretty honest about his height I doubt he would ever pull the wool over anyone's eyes, he seems honest in general.

Glenn said on 10/May/06
I heard him say 5-6 years ago,and thats what he looks like to me.

wouldn't exacly say Stewart has rounded up his height. he's never remarked on it other than that clip from earlier. 5'7 is just the arbitrary figure given to men who appear shortish. I believe it has something to do w/ breaking through that 170cm barrier

trueheight said on 10/May/06
the comments on youtube are quite amusing. He does look 5'7 though; like when he had Howard Dean on a few years back. I've met Dean, even shook hands! Dean is 5'8 , no more and stewart was about an inch under

Ok after that Stern interview I think he's max 5'6". Like I said in the past he always looked smaller than 5'7" - confirmed now for the first time.

I'm 5'7" and attended a Daily Show taping. He's my height. My short? Something like that.

Sighting: Jon Stewart walking with his wife on 12th st. and 5th ave. A baby was strapped to his chest in one of those snuggly things. Jon was wearing a pink sweatshirt and a cap. Pretty short, I am guessing 5’8.

MD said on 10/Oct/05
Every place on the net seems to list him at 5'7". Jon Stewart is one of the very few well known people that I think has no reason to lie about his height. This may be one height that doesn't garner much discussion.

Also, if anyone has any pictures, that would be great to confirm this.
