@anonymous:Is it possible he was wearing lifts?
Anonymous says on 9/Feb/10
I met the guy many times and I'm 5'9-1/2 and always if hes an inch smaller that would be a lot. Hes 5 8-1/2 for sure.
Martin says on 1/Dec/09
I'm pretty sure he's not 5'8". I watched his documentary "Religulous" and noticed he's pretty short; I'd say 5'5"-5'6".
Clay says on 2/Nov/09
LoL@5'8 being a ''stretch'' for Maher. Looks every bit of it next to Leno.
James says on 20/Oct/09
Ok 5'8 is not THAT short for a man. It's on the shorter side of average(which is 5'9). For a man, I would consider short at less than 5'6. Example, Seth Green who is 5'3.

Bill to me looks perhaps a bit taller than 5'8, maybe a half an inch taller. But still a strong 5'8. I remember when Seth Macfarlane was on the show, Seth looked a little more than 2 inches taller, and he is listed here as 5'10, so this implies that 5'8 is accurate indeed.

He is short, and there is nothing wrong with that - except that he is so free of his really vile comments about other people's appearance (those who do not agree with him) that one wonders if he ever looks in the mirror. He was absolutely horrible about making fun of people who were a part of the recent march on Washington D.C.
GF says on 5/Sep/09
I'm guessing 5-8 is a bit of a stretch. Probably closer to 5-7 mid-day. Very smart man, but he hasn't exposed himself to ultimate truth yet.
James S. says on 23/Aug/09
When Seth Macfarlane was on his show a bit ago, he looked a bit towering over Bill Maher. Seth is a solid 5'10 so Bill Maher is in fact 5'8, no more.
Clay says on 9/Apr/09
5'8 is not so short, so short would be like 5'6.

What? I am shocked! I always thought he was a very tall guy. He looks so tall on TV. I always thought he was in the 6'1" - 6'4" range. Really surprised that he is so short.

WOW, there goes your credibility.

Looked an easy 5'8'' next to Leno.
Davey says on 21/May/08
He doesnt come off as a 5 '9 guy to me.I think hes a boot wearer.Ill give him 5'7 barefoot.
Danimal says on 2/Jan/08
My question is, when did Maher lose all his hair on top? Last I remembered it was slicked back and NOT entirely bald on top as it is in the above pic.
Danimal says on 31/Dec/07
I respect your opinion Viper, but the way I see it and this is trying to be as objective as possible, but O'reilly does NOT give others a chance to talk and starts calling them names and bullying them if they differ with his and in reality, with FOX's political agenda. Maher can get emotional, but he just seems a lot more rational and logical and doesn't threaten to BOOT his guests off his show if they stand up for what they believe in. Olberman is a tool, much like O'reilly. They both try to get people riled up, where as you can tell with Maher, that that is not his agenda.

no way 5'8, I would say around 5'9 or 5'10
Danimal says on 30/Dec/07
I have read that he has stated his own height as 5'9" as well. Most people who claim they can't stand him, because he is too arrogant and too liberal, it's those same people who claim they respect the biggest !@#!# of all: Bill O'reilly, only because he supports the war and is a very religious man, yet he is the most fascist bullying, biased individual on American TV, yet most conservative religious republicans love him and overlook the fact that he is a complete sensationalistic fraud. Bill Maher on the other hand is as real as you can get. The best!
Fisher says on 30/Dec/07
I've met him before, hes exactly 5'8, nice job.
Original says on 30/Dec/07
He Looks a 5'9
Danimal says on 27/Nov/07
He's no 5'6". 5'8"-5'9". Ellen, with all due respect to you and your gender, but females are REALLY bad a judging someone's height. Especially that of guys.
Ellen says on 26/Nov/07
I saw Bill Maher on Miami Beach at his show on January 20, 2007 and I saw up front and he is VERY_VERY_SHORT. If he's 5'6" that would be pushin' it....Much shorter than one would think....
antron says on 6/Sep/07
he has said that he has a big head before, so even if he is rather slight, his head could give him that extra inch or so. A 5'9" head on a 5'6" body so to speak; could make him 5'8".
Danimal says on 31/Mar/07
It's an american show Viper. Henry has guys like Ozzy, Bill Maher and lots others come on. Henry was kissing Ozzy's @##@. He worships the man.
Danimal says on 29/Mar/07
The man's not short. He was on the Henry Rollins show and was about the same height as Henry, who's at least 5'9".
Alexander says on 29/Mar/07
5-7 max sounds about right. Don't buy 5-8, he has the appaearance of a slightly built person.
TNTinCA says on 18/Oct/06
Hard to believe he dated 6 foot Ann Coulter once. Reason 1, that must have been a bizarre looking height difference. Reason 2, well, any guesses? ;-)
trueheight says on 4/Sep/06
actually, I do believe he's 5'8; dunno about footwear though. He was like almost as tall as Rep. Darrell Issa who represents the 41s district here in CA; he's 5'10, i've actually shook hands w/ Mr. Issa
J. says on 6/Jun/06
I met Bill after one of his shows. I'm 5'2 and was wearing 4.5" heals and I was a little bit taller than him. I'd say he's 5'6.
trueheight says on 9/May/06
5'7; I was at a taping of maher's show this season w/ none other than...Seth Green. Green was in sneakers and maher was about 4in taller. anyway, if you're a fan of HBO than you undoubtebly have seen Maher's '98 special in which his 2-3in heels were very very apparent. He's 5'7 barefoot
Mr. R says on 18/Apr/06
He has been listed in People Magazine I think as 5-9. Clearly a misprint.
