He's 5'10". He seemed only 3 inches taller than Jon Stewart on his show recently. I think Colbert is 5'10" at the most.

I used to live around the corner from Colbert in Montclair. Would see him around the Upper Montclair area a few times a month, I stand at 5'9.5 and he definitely had a solid inch or more on me.

Rob, Colbert deserves a downgrade to 5' 10 1/4"; it just seems like a much better figure for him. At 0:20 mark in this video, Colbert looks to be the same height as 5' 10 1/4" Daniel Craig Click Here. Here he is now with LEGIT 5' 10 1/2" Andrew Garfield Click Here. At the 0:22 mark, Garfield does appear to be the taller of the two. With 5' 11 5/8" listed John Oliver, Colbert struggles with 5' 10 1/4" Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. In these photos with Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert looks a solid inch shorter with him, looking around 5' 10-5' 10 1/4" range again Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. Moving on from guys closer to his height range, here is with a gigantic 6' 4" Conan O'Brien Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. While O'Brien is much closer to the camera than Colbert is in the second picture, there still appears to more than a 5.5 inch difference based on the first pic and the gif alone. Here is a picture and a video of him with Ryan Reynolds Click Here, Click Here. Throughout the video, Colbert consistently looks 3.75-4 inches shorter than the 6' 2" Reynolds. And finally, here he is with 5' 9" Steve Carell Click Here, Click Here, Click Here, Click Here. The difference tends to look a solid 1.25 inch difference most of the time. So what do you think? Will consider changing Colbert's height to 5' 10 1/4"?

Editor Robfor a time I thought he could be just 5ft 10, but the more I saw, the greater chance I felt over it...5ft 10 and a 1/4 might be a believable range he could measure.

I think 5'11" is too much for Colbert since he was slightly shorter than Bruce Willis a few years ago and Bruce hasn't been more than 5'11" himself since his 40's.

I trued to guess his height when watching the Late Show, he looked like a 5'10"-5'11" guy on his show to me, so this listing is accurate. Stephen Colbert is 5'10.5"-5'11".

Yeah, 5'10" is arguable too, though he's consistently looked around 2.5" shorter than Obama give or take 1/4", though Rob did say he thought Colbert might wear a 1 cm or half inch lift with taller guests. But if you watch Stephen shake hands with 5'10" Daniel Craig at 19 seconds: Click Here Stephen does look at least as tall and I do think Craig wears small lifts pretty regularly. Daniel wore boots, which could conceal a lift without any trouble: Click Here

Yeah, if anything, Stephen holds his own quite well next to Ryan there, and assuming that Ryan is near 6'2 (which I believe he is) and that they are in similar footwear (I remember someone speculated about Stephen possibly wearing lifts), I certainly wouldn't put him under this listing with him. A guy like Dolph does give a taller impression than Ryan with him, I'd say...

It's not implausible he'd measure below this listing as there have been many moments where he has looked just 5'10" (and he probably gets a footwear boost at times).
But 5'9" range, especially only a little over 5'9", is stretching it. He's never looked that.

Here's the video with Reynolds: Click Here Colbert doesn't really look shorter than listed in the video and certainly not 5'9". It's not like you'd expect them to be close in height, but from viewing the video once, I wouldn't guess more than a 3.5" difference. Ryan often has loose posture in general so it can look less.

Here he is with 6'2" Ryan Reynolds (who is literally crouching down so not to completely tower over Colbert). Look at the top of their heads. Colbert is a little over 5'9": Click Here

Editor RobI'm not convinced he would measure 176cm. I certainly couldn't see him near 5 inches smaller than Reynolds, sometimes angles can reduce or exaggerate, like Here with Benedict just as an example.

Also, he seems to be very uncomfortable with his height. Look at him with Conan when Colbert didnt want to get down to be on the same surface with Conan as he knew he would look ridiculously short next to Conan

The probability that Colbert is wearing lifts seems higher than the base rate. He seems very height-aware and in recent years he has managed to look taller than he ever did in the past, even looking close to 180cm on occasion.

It's hard to gauge weight, especially if it can only be gleaned when the subject wears a suit. You can carry a lot of mass in the midsection without it being noticeable. Incidentally, I'd say 185lbs is overweight for a 5'10½ man with an average frame.

Nah, his weight is very believable. If you're followed him throughout his career, he's definitely gained quite a bit. His tailors do a pretty good job hiding it, but he's been fairly honest and open about his weight gain. In fact, he did a interview back in August of last year saying he'd gained at least 15lbs since the election of 2016. I remember a few years back, too, when he did some clip where he was measured for a suit, and his waist was quite a bit larger than you'd think just looking at him.

He's not being outrageous with his claim. I'd say half the time Colbert can pull off a strong 5ft 10 near 10.5.

What do you think? I can see Colbert at MOST 5'10 from that clip, especially near the end, he looks so short compared to everyone. There's no way there's just 0.5 inch between him and Wayne, unless he wore lifts in this clip. But Colbert did look 5'10 at most against Colin Mochrie too

Um, you know the whole "Stephen Colbert's upset about being listed at 5'10"" bit was just that, a bit. Right? It was when he still had his "Colbert" character from a few years ago. I honestly don't think he cares about being listed an inch short in real life. Oh, well. I'd say 5'10.5" is probably about right. He's not tall, not short. Maybe slightly above average height, thin build with average proportions.

Like Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert seems incredibly tall and well-proportioned, but in reality when standing next to known, shorter celebs, they're not significantly taller. Example, recently Jackie Chan was on The Late Show with Colbert and looked only a couple of inches shorter at most, and Tom Cruise on The Tonight Show looked at worst 3 inches shorter than Fallon.
I guess it helps to be a talk show host if you wanna look tall!

Anything in the 5'10"-5'11" range is fair for Colbert. Arguing is he either 5'10.25" or 5'10.75" is basically nitpicking.

Editor Rob sneaky 1cm lifts are literally undetectable....I couldn't say if he wore them, but you never rule the possibility out...
as I've said in the past I was surprised when my next door neighbour admitted to having bought and worn elevator shoes, a man who worked in the comic industry and used to be near 5ft 11. If that guy wore them, anybody can!

This listing makes no sense. He consistently looks sub 5'10 with Obama and is an inch shorter than Trevor Noah; but I guess he can pass off for 10.5 on occasion. I think the first listing was fine. 5'10-10.25 tops but very height aware.

Editor Rob I'm only talking about Stephen and offering a general observation about humour - from experience, there are a lot of people who seem to miss intention or jokes and take things too literally.

Admin, have you seen that? Click Here
I mean, can someone make such a great deal about a height he isn't? Not even 5'10.5ish?

Editor Rob Some people are obviously pretending to be serious or dead-panning and people end up taking what they say too literally.

@Editor Rob: You could give him the 5'10.25 listing, he pulls off 5'10.5 quite often.

Editor Rob I think they can look within half inch of each other, whether Colbert is the stronger of the two and could edge him out I'm not sure.

Rob, how tall has someone to be to warrant a 5'10.25 listing? I mean, what's the least you expect for someone to be at night to give him the 5'10.25 and how much to give him 5'10 flat?

Editor Rob maybe they could be a guy who can look 5ft 10 most of the time, even at times looks 179cm, but a 10.25 is a kind of better fit as there is a chance he may be only 178 but a chance he is 179...so the listing could be closer to either.
If that makes sense.

Similiar height as 5'9" Henry Rollins on his show. How do I add a picture?

Go to Jimmy's page, here. If they were of similiar height, it's not because Colbert is taller than listed, it's because Jimmy is shorter than his listing.

Wow Jimmy Kimmel was over his show and they are similar heights.
Colbert is fuller and wears baggier clothes which explains why he's seen as shorter.

Yeah something like 5'10.25" or 5'10.5" is possible for him.
Rob, could you add Strangers with Candy, The Daily Show & The Late Show to his credits?

Rob aren't scared if he threatened Larry Page a 5'11 billionaire.What will he do to a 5'8 guy like you?

I saw the Obama appearance on the Colbert Report a few days ago. Colbert looked exactly 3 inches shorter. I find it funny how he always tries to look 5'10.5-5'11, looking over Jon Stewart's head and hardly shorter than Neil Patrick Harris. He must put in an insole in his shoes or something.
It would be interesting to see how he'd hold up next to me; the possibility's there since I live like 20 minutes away from him.

He now shortens it to 5 10 1/2. (Barack Obama appearance, Dec. 8/14.) Standing near Obama, that still seems a stretch.

Rob, as far as i'm concerned that judging his height only based on those pictures with the 6' guy (on a field like that) is not the best thing to do, you agree he can look 3 inches smaller? I mean, 5'10 is probably his best case scenario! The funny thing is that he's really convinced to be 5'11 and remarks that everytime!

Editor Rob there's a clip of them but you'd need to set your ip to an american one to view it...

Colbert was also in a play with Neil Patrick Harris and Harris seems to have a couple of inches on him.

This works for Colbert, nearly 4 inches over Jon Stewart and nearly 6 inches under Bill O'Reilly.
