...I've always heard Conan say he was/is 6'4. If this is true, and this Lundgren clip is pretty clear, then Lundgren is like 6'2.5, making Stallone much shorter than I thought...and Weathers, too.
Vegas says on 6/Nov/09
not the first time The Ben, remember the photo of dolph, Ralf Moeller and tiny lister (moeller and lister both 6'5ish) and dolph was clearly 2 inches shorter The Ben says on 5/Nov/09
Good find derek d, I still think lundgren is around 6'4 (He also looked great for his age)
Maybe footwear had something to do with it..This is the only time i've ever seen dolph look this short Vegas says on 5/Nov/09
good find derek d, conan is clearly taller than lundgren which brings into question lundgrens true height, i remember viper claiming conan was no taller than 6'2.5, lundgren is under 6'2 so Click Here derek d says on 5/Nov/09
Please stop under 6'4. Look at this.
Click Here
Its a clip of 6'4 - 6'5 Dolph Lundgren and Conan. Towards the end they stand next to each other and Conan is at least 1.5 - 2 inches taller. I found this strange. You can even hear Lundgren say to Conan before he is cut off, "You're tall man!". Don't think Conan heard him. Anonymous says on 4/Nov/09
Dolph Lundgren recently appeared on Conan O'Brien. Conan appeared to be taller than Dolph. In fact Dolph commented on Conan's height.
checkout the clip.

He was on the Tonight Show last night and looked about 2" taller than Ed Norton. (6'). Anonymous says on 2/Oct/09
He has said repeatedly that he's 6'4" on his show. He once said 6'5", but the every other time, since he started on Late Night, he's claimed to be 6'4". JR26 says on 26/Sep/09
i watched The Tonight show on Sept. 25 where Conan was talking to the human canon ball girls. Conan asked if a guy like him could blast out of the human canon ball machine. and he specifically said he was 6'4. anonoymous2 says on 25/Sep/09
I agree with Anonymous on Sept 1/09 that Conan has a 38" inseam. My husband and my son are 6'3" and 6'5" respectively. Husband wears a 34x38 pants and son wears (special order only...his size is never off the rack) 34x40. Both have a Phelps "wing-span" and are average torso with very long legs. NIce looking, but a pain in the ass to shop for! Pardon the pun, but it's all in the jeans... E says on 21/Sep/09
I don't see Drake height in here, but I saw a interview of him with DJ Whoo Kid and he said it himself that he is 6'2. zargana says on 12/Sep/09
i think he is 6,3 this video show that he is not very tall because bill hader is mx 6'1.5 Click Here Clay says on 3/Sep/09
His head is huge, at least 11 inches long. Anonymous says on 1/Sep/09
I'd believe he has 38" inseam. He's all legs. If you've ever seen him stand on his desk, you'll see that all of his height comes from his legs; his torso seems fairly average in height. (See his dance off with Shaq on the August 14th episode of the Tonight Show) Ace says on 24/Aug/09

Conan's height is still up for debate. Anonymous says on 6/Aug/09
Conan said the other night during a segment of a show when he was browsing guitars with Slash that he was, "About 6'4, 6'4 and a half" when a guy that was 6'4 asked him about his height. They looked to be pretty close, too. jf says on 5/Aug/09
Mathew says on 22/Jun/09
"I agree completely. In fact, I don't buy that he has a 38 inseem. I'm probably a little bit leggier than average for 6'3" and I wear a 34. I highly doubt a man one inch taller would have 4" longer legs than I do."
I'm 182cm (5'-11-5/8" exact) and I wear a 34 inseam regularly. I'm obviously leggy for my height and I'm a baseball pitcher. 32 is high-water on me. Ideally I'd probably wear 33-1/2" but they don't make them. I also wear size 12 shoe. So it's not out of the question that he'd wear a 38 since he's 4 inches taller than myself. BUT I would still expect more like a 36 since 2 of those inches should be in his torso and the other 2 in the legs or so. If he's wearing 38s, then that means his torso is the same size as mine and there is no way, as I've got a noticeably short torso for a 182cm man. So I guess I'm saying you're right. 36 should be what he wears. Of course he's got a gargantuan head so maybe his torso is that of a 6-footer, and he picks up height with his head. I, too, have a large head and I probably have the body of a 5'-10" man but my head is large, so 6'0" for me. lol. Danimal says on 5/Aug/09

Anything under 6'4" for Conan is crazy. xtreme says on 4/Aug/09
hey guys, my cousin met lennox lewis, and my cousin was about 3 inches shorter than 6 5 lennox lewis and is a legit 6 2(he is one inches shorter than me) and i noticed that when wlad klitchko came on conan's show, conan was solid three inches shorter than wlad and wlad is only 1 inches taller than lennox lewis. which just goes to show that conan is probably not more than 190/1 cm barefoot and is most likely 6 foot 4 in shoes. this is my honest opinion about this guy. BigGame says on 2/Aug/09
OutBenchThis-You couldn't have said it any better, 100% agreed OutBenchThis says on 2/Aug/09
BigGame - I concur. Phelps and Conan are most likely both in the 6'4" range in shoes..w/out shoes Phelps is most definately 6'3" max. (i.e. 190-191cm) and considering he and Conan looked almost the same in height, that only reinforces my previous claims that Conan's barefoot height is 191cm. Dylan says on 27/Jul/09
i think that Conan o'Brien is a legit 6'4. First of all, he try's to equalize his height with people who come on his show. Hw is probably 3/4 of an inch shorter than Kobe Bryant. BigGame says on 26/Jul/09
yeah Clay is probably right, their height looks basically exact at 6'4" with shoes on, because I know everybody saw that picture with Kobe and Phelps and and Kobe probably had Phelps by about a good 3 inches and Kobe had said himself in an interview with jay leno on the tonight show back when he was 19 that he was really 6'5" barefoot, so Phelps is probably 6'3" barefoot tops. Clay says on 23/Jul/09
I thought Conan had him slightly when they compared wing spans. Anyways I think Phelps and Conan are both roughly 6'4. Mathew says on 20/Jul/09
Michael Phelps seemed to just edge Conan out in height. Mathew says on 16/Jul/09
Michael Phelps appeared on Conan just recently. About the same height Phelps looked to have been a hair taller. They compared wingspans and Phelps' was noticably longer. Bohm says on 12/Jul/09

Rob that is so blatantly obviously Viper you can smell him from a mile away. Mathew says on 22/Jun/09

38 inseam is insane for somebody 6-4.
I agree completely. In fact, I don't buy that he has a 38 inseem. I'm probably a little bit leggier than average for 6'3" and I wear a 34. I highly doubt a man one inch taller would have 4" longer legs than I do. His 6'4" claim is even a bit suspect as he looked more 6'3.5" back to back with David Hassellhoff - but I'd be far less suprised if Conan was a full 6'4" than if he had a 38" inseem.

Conan went back to back with David Hasselhof looking basically the same height of 6'4''. Not to mention having about an inch on 6'3'' The Rock Dwayne Johnson. Da Man says on 21/Jun/09
Clay, Conan's height is completely debatable, they guy has looked a strong 6'3" (6'3.5"-ish) more often than not. Kobe is the one who has admitted his actual measured height and has photograph after photograph with actual measured athletes. Kobe is a weak 6'5", we know this. What we don't know for sure is Conan's legit, barefoot measurement...which is likely a weak 6'4". Vegas says on 21/Jun/09
that kobe/conan video is pretty useless as kobe is much closer to the camera, its impossible to tell clearly, unless conan stands side by side someone like he did with kareem or hulk hogan the guy closer to the camera will gain inches
kobe and vince carter Click Here Anonymous says on 20/Jun/09
Kobe at 6-5.5 is an utter joke. I saw a picture once of 6-5.5 Vince Cater and he was at least an inch taller than Kobe. Kobe is more around 6-4.5 to maybe scraping 6-5 on a good day. Conan is probably 6-3-6-3.5 in reality. Ed(1) says on 20/Jun/09
Conan referred to himself as 6ft4.5 last night on The Tonight Show with guest Phil Jackson. Jackson who's listed at 6ft8, looked to have a good 4 inches on O'Brien. skang357 says on 19/Jun/09
My guess is that Conan is 6'3'5".
Kobe looked like he had between 2 to 3 inches on Conan. That makes him 6'5'5" or 6'6" BigGame says on 19/Jun/09
type in "Kobe Bryant on the tonight show" on youtube, his appearance in 1998 when he was 19 years old before Leno introduced him, then a little after Kobe joked that he's a 6'5" kid coming out here to LA and suddenly he grows his fro and he's 6'7" and stated that people were getting fooled about him getting taller and that it was his fro that made him 2 inches taller, after Leno ask him if it was true that he was getting taller...so I'd say Kobe's 6'5" maybe a hair over it barefoot and 6'6" with shoes Clay says on 19/Jun/09
I said all along Kobe was more like 6'5-6'5.5 AT LEAST after I saw him next to Chris Bosh who is 6'10.5. Conan's height isnt a debate at all Da man, he is 6'4. Kobe is 6'5.5. Da Man says on 19/Jun/09
Uh, yea, the debate about Kobe's height is over? Haha.
Kobe looking taller than Conan is only more evidence that Conan likely isn't a legit, barefoot 6'4". There's a ton of evidence regarding Kobe's height out there and it shows he is a weak 6'5". Conan is the one that's more elusive. MD says on 18/Jun/09
Yeah, I was about to say that hasn't it been pretty well confirmed now that Kobe is actually barely over 6'4"? This is true of most sports stars, in fact. Sawyer says on 18/Jun/09
It's quite clear Kobe had a full 2 inches on the already giant
sized 6'4 Conan O'brien. The debate about about Kobe's height
is now officially over. Da Man says on 18/Jun/09
Kobe is 6'4.75" according to his wife...who measured him. Jared says on 18/Jun/09
Knowing Kobe was listed as 6'6" and how NBA heights can be slightly exaggerated, I expected he and Conan would be about the same height. Instead Kobe had a full 2", maybe even 3" on him i.m.o. Either Conan is more like 6'3" or Kobe is a full 6'7", being the rare NBA player who's taller than his listed height.

That's really crazy, James, because everyone that sees the guy knows he's tall. He's incredibly lanky with freakishly long legs. Even sitting down with his shorter torso, he still looks tall. OOFatman says on 3/Jun/09
OutBenchThis- It's the same here in the US. I agree with your assessment of Conan's height...I put him at 6-3 minimum...perhaps close to 6-4...Tall man either way! Jake says on 3/Jun/09
6-5-6-6 might be more ridiculous than Will Smith at 6-2. OutBenchThis says on 3/Jun/09
OOFatman - I don't know about the US but here in Australia you list your own height and then it's approved provided it appears credible that it would be your height or close to it ..most of my friends gave themselves an inch or two extra on the license. As I've said Conan's likely in the 6'3 range. He could well be 6'3.5" but since the US doesn't use the metric system, a license can't be as precise as to say 191cm or 192 cm so it'd be rounded up to say 6'4" which is what he says (on almost every show). OOFatman says on 3/Jun/09
For what it's worth...he showed his Driver's License on the Tonight Show last night and it said 6-4 180 lbs...he was comparing his California license pic to his New York license pic lol Me says on 3/Jun/09
Guys, he is definitely taller than 6'3", no matter what he or any website says. In fact even I believe is in the 6'5" - 6'6" range. OutBenchThis says on 2/Jun/09
Clay - You acknowledge Conan's mentioned height of 6'3" is interesting..Interesting because he's likely in the 6'3" range which would undermine your pigheaded belief in him being 6'4" and NOTHING under! My position on Conan's height has never been an outrageous one; I've stated numerously I think he's in the 6'3" range (i.e. 190-192 cm), a position even Conan himself has stated. BTW CLAY - WTF does a "weak 6'4" mean?? Conan's either 6'4" (193 cm) or he's under 6'4" (191-192 cm)..Sounds to me like you've conceded son!!! Lenad says on 30/May/09

Conan wears 38 inside leg trousers? WOW!!!! Most people I'm sure would agree that a 38 leg would probably require them to be specially made they don't sell em in normal shops I'm certain. A department store I used to work at went up to 35 inch leg and even those were very rare. A friend of mine is 6'6" and wears 36" leg jeans which is the longest leg I've ever seen in a shop. This guy must have freakishly long legs as a 38 would be what you'd expect from a 6'8"-6'10" guy surely? I guess he has a small torso but the leg length really is quite extraordinary. I guess the guy is easily 6'4", Neeson in my view has always looked a strong 6'4.5" anyway, he is always taller than most people. Clay says on 8/Feb/09

In case no one has mentioned this... I saw that someone said Conan exaggerates his height, however if you look at his relative height to co-stars on SNL at the end of the show he COMPLETELY towers over everyone. He is AT LEAST 6'5" Clay says on 10/Sep/08
Conan was looking 6'4.5/6'5 on his show last night just completely dwarfing Chuck Norris and looking level with Tyler Perry. Hugh says on 1/Sep/08
Another 6ft4 guy we have here. Clay says on 28/Aug/08
A clear 4 inches (ish) over 6'0/6'0.5 Tiger Woods last night. the man who say him last night says on 13/Aug/08
i saw him last night. we get ice cream at the same place. i'm 6'4 and he was easily an inch if not more taller than me Mr. R says on 8/Aug/08
Conan is about 6-4. I saw him in New York when he was taping a bit for his show at The Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. Complex says on 4/Aug/08
Conan's never under 6'4, saying he's under 6'3 is just completely out of the question, that would mean all the celebrities in the world get towered over by a guy who's under 6'3, no way that's possible, i'm sticking with 6'5...6'4 being the absolute minimum! Sammo says on 29/Jul/08
He's tall. But like mentioned before supposedly 6'4 Neeson was undoubtedly at least an inch taller than him in his show. Either Neeson is a about 6'5 or Conan is just barely 6'3. I really think Liam Neeson is still a strong 6'4 when he wants to. Why not? ChrisC says on 27/Jul/08
Bumba, you're just... sad. height advantage due to "slanted" stage and "tall persona" gimme a break, man. You WANT to believe he's much shorter than you or something but He's 6'4 easy. He towered over just about every guest. Like Josh said, unless your name's "Big show" you can't tower over O'Brian. end of story. 6'4. Josh says on 24/Jul/08
Two people I saw that towered over Conan:
Dalip Singh (on WWE SmackDown! is "The Great Khali") - 7 feet 3 inches
Paul Wight (on WWE SmackDown! is "The Big Show") - 7 feet Complex says on 22/Jul/08
Conan's a solid 6'5, even the tallest of celebrities out there are dwarfed by him on Late Night! And his celeb guests are likely wearing lifts too, this guy is tall, no doubt, 6'4.5 bare minimum! bumba says on 18/Jul/08
conan's a 6'4 among actors, among athletes he's a 6'2 at most. i say this because actor heights are always exaggerated where athlete heights are more accurate due to their nature of work...i'd like to add on to the earlier comment of a 6'3 terrell owens looking close to 2 inches taller then conan, that there was another show where stephan curry from the ncaa tournament was a guest and he seemed to be the same height as conan. stephan curry is listed at 6'1, Click Here
with that said conan is not only tall, but has a tall persona making him look even taller...but he does have an advantage over his guests since his stage is a bit slanted giving him a height advantage over anyone when he comes over to shake hands with when introducing guests. Boxed Ears from http://boxedear.blogspot.com says on 5/Jul/08
I have heard Wlad say this but I always assumed he gets confused about using inches because they use the metric system in Europe? I could be wrong, maybe they regularly used inches too but I figure if he grew up and fought most of his early career by the metric system, he may not even be able to recall his height in inches. If you asked me how tall I was by metric, I wouldn't know. I think he's about 6'6.5, or 6'7. I think his brother is between 6'8-6'8.5. Boxrec sometimes gets things wrong. Sometimes a reach will clearly be off and sometimes height too. I don't believe Sonny Liston was 6'0.5 either as they've listed. I'd say more like 6'1.5-6'2. Eh. Danimal says on 26/Jun/08
ed says on 24/Jun/08
wow...just saw John Tesh on Conan and he was 2 inches taller than Conan...first guest that Ive ever seen Conan look up to, but I havent seen him with bball or defensive ends.
Tesh is a VERY tall guy. Creepy tall. Minimum 6'6". I have heard 6'7"+ for him too. ed says on 25/Jun/08
one of Conan's running self-deprecating jokes on the show, as you probably have seen is how long his legs are...he says he is all legs with a litte short torso..lol ed says on 24/Jun/08
wow...just saw John Tesh on Conan and he was 2 inches taller than Conan...first guest that Ive ever seen Conan look up to, but I havent seen him with bball or defensive ends. Frank says on 17/Jun/08
I Agree Klitscko said he was 6ft 5 and i was shocked because he was alot taller than Conan and i remember Charles Barkley looking a couple of inches taller than Conan and Barkley says he's 6ft 4ish Clay says on 6/Jun/08
Its a good point Frank, and its strange he would say 6'5'' (I have no clue about his height, I know his brother was taller than Lenox Lewis) but there is too much evidence pointing to Conan being 6'4''. You're right, thats weird though. Almost as weird as Dustin Hoffman appearing within 4 inches of Jay Leno tonight. TJ says on 5/Jun/08
Frank. There is not way that Vladimir is only 6'5. He's described generally as either 6'6 or 6'7 and there is a 6'7 reference on the official site of the Klitchko brothers. No idea why he said 6'5, but he was downgrading himself. Frank says on 4/Jun/08
My point Clay was if Conan was 6ft 4 like he says he is why was the 6ft 5 Boxer alot taller ???? Conan asked Klitchko who tall he was and he said 6ft 5
and he was 3 to 4 inches taller than Conan ....I know people who met Conan and they said he was very tall but it looked strange him looking alot shorter than a 6ft 5 guy Clay says on 3/Jun/08
If he towered Conan he is 6'7''. I've only seen two people tower Conan - and their names are Paul Wight and Dalip Singh. Frank says on 27/May/08
Something is weird Conan had Boxing Champion Vladimir Klitchko on and he towered Conan by about 3 to 4 inches and Klitchko said he was 6ft 5 strange MD says on 21/May/08
Just for further reference, on his show a few nights ago he mentioned that he was "6-4", 6'5"". stevo says on 21/May/08
he says on a comedy channel tv ad that he is 6'4. Clay says on 20/May/08
Bull**** they looked the same height roughly. Conan is not under 6'4''. Anonymous says on 9/May/08
If you watched his show on 5/8/08 when he had Terrell Owens on the show. TO looked 1 1/2" taller than Conan. TO is listed at 6'3" and he made Conan Look 6'1 1/2" maybe. Dennis says on 24/Mar/08
He recently said on his show that he's 6ft4.5 Jason says on 8/Mar/08
That's just a mistake from 6'11''. He's about the exact same height as Semmy Schilt, so, whatever height Schilt is, he is. Schilt's been listed at everything from 205-211cm. Christa says on 8/Mar/08
I went to Conan O'brien in New York, and I'm 6'0" (183cm), and he was way taller than me. Most def. taller than 6'1". Vegas says on 7/Mar/08
here is a 6'1 listing for Nortje lol as i said before be very careful with internet listings Click Here Jason says on 6/Mar/08
Don't know about Julius Long, but I've seen Nortje billed as 207cm before. Yeah, that corner man does appear taller when Long and Nortje are facing off, but if you pause at points when he's walking with Nortje back to their corner, you'll see Nortje actually looks to be the taller one by 1-2''. Still, that is one biiig corner man! Two monstrous fighters ... Nortje's put on 10kg, I see. 333lbs ... phuck. Vegas says on 5/Mar/08
speaking of huge boxers here is 7'1 listed Julius Long in MMA up against 6'11 listed Jan Nortje, keep an eye out when the ref is giving instructions, Nortje's corner man enters the shot and is taller than both guys it seems Click Here Jason says on 5/Mar/08
& Vegas, I see you agree with me about Undetaker's weight. If you want proof Taker was never north of 300lbs - it's Valuev. He's 320ish, and if Taker was as heavy as him, I'll eat my keyboard! ;) Jason says on 5/Mar/08
Well, fair enough. I think Valuev's 210cm/6'10 1/2'', for what it's worth. Jason says on 5/Mar/08
That looks to be because Rodman's more in the foreground. Are there more of them together?
Don't know about Dave Winfield - some baseball listings are rubbish, and he's old now. Atoadaso says on 4/Mar/08
Jason, I would say the only situation where they will inflate a boxer's height is in a case where the height is a marketable aspect, such as with Nicolai Valuev, who is most likely under 7' but is bumped up just for that marketing sake. I really can't speak for those other sports you list, other than attesting to your accuracy in saying that UFC does inflate heights, as I don't really follow any of the others.
Anyways, I can't change your mind so and that's alright. I'll just say that the only discrepancy that you will find will be shoes on or off, sole thickness, and unit conversions to the imperial system. Of course, not all heights will be accurate but I got the impression you think this is like WWE, where everyone is much smaller than they are on paper.
I will probably be going to watch Wlad fight before he retires, and if all goes well i'll get a photo with him. I would bet he'll be noticeably taller than I am :) Jason says on 4/Mar/08
Atodaso; I'm talking about the big time. And I've followed boxing for many years, too, and can't believe you don't think they sometimes inflate height. They do it in wrestling, UFC, basketball; football, sometimes. Even tennis. I don't know why you think boxing - of all sports - is an exception. Vegas says on 4/Mar/08
speaking of rodman here is an interesting shot Click Here
the guy next to him is keyshawn johnson listed at 6'4 by the NFL (i believe Viper said he was measured at 6'3.5" barefoot) and he is about 5" shorter Click Here
Dave Winfield was listed at 6'6 during his playing career and you know magic Jason says on 4/Mar/08
The vast majority of the time when a celeb/athlete gives their height, it's inflated or actual. While there are, of course, some exceptions (Barkley ... though, I still don't think Rodman is taller than 6'6 1/4'') ... it's a pretty safe bet they're not undercutting themselves. I've always thought Wlad is 196cm/6'5 1/4'', like I said, and he pretty much confirmed it. Atoadaso saying a boxing billed height can't be inflated is just wrong, and this stuff about it being a medical measurement. Boxing is, and historically has been, the most crooked sport around lol. Atoadaso says on 3/Mar/08
It seems the video has been taken off of youtube.
However, that video is a small fraction of evidence that Wlad is significantly taller than 6'5". As i've said, you can view many pictures of him with, for example, 6'6" McCline, 6'6" Ray Austin, and many others around the 6'4" mark such as Corrie Sanders and TOS.
Vegas, that is a DonKing Production venue, his listing is not necessarily a standard, nor accurate. Boxrec, a database for boxing statistics, has Wlad at 6'6.5", to show you there are discrepancies. Also, I have seen all of his early fights in germany, and he is listed 6'6.5"-6'7" usually.
Jason, i'm a member on a boxing board already, EastSideBoxing, and I have followed the sport for about 10 years, and boxed 4 years myself. I'm not sure why you think heights are inflated, apart from being measured with shoes on. I have not heard of this, from my experiences with the sport. I have personally sparred with 6'4"-6'5" boxers who have not had their heights inflated for the sake of show business, or whatever reason. One guy was about 6'8" at my gym, and I thought he was about 7' until I asked him, heh. As welterweight is about the most popular division at this point, i'd say it's safe to assume most boxing fans do not care how tall a boxer is, and there is no point to inflate heights as WWE would do.
For what it's worth, I myself am 6'5", and from photos and videos in general of Wlad, I am very certain he is not the same height as me, as I do not tower over people quite the same. Vegas says on 3/Mar/08
i wouldn't use the fact that he said he was 6'5 as 100% proof, people give different heights for themselves all the time up and down ie barkley/rodman/hogan etc, your old chestnut that "lowest listing/claim is usually the correct height" doesn't fly with me either. I could create a professional looking website and claim shaq is 6'2, don't make it true, i could tell someone i was 5 foot, don't make it true either :) The 6'6 boxing listing is more proof that Wlad is not 6'7 barefoot
i gotta see this where big show looked 6'7 next to Conan (i assume that means he only looked 2-3" taller than conan), i know you are only quoting Viper on this but i have seen two appearances of Big Show on Conan and both times he towered him, you can't blame the stage here or the camera angle which is front facing Click Here Jason says on 3/Mar/08
Sorry mate, you don't have a leg to stand on when the guy himself says he's 6'5''.
Conan's stage is weird ... the wrestler Big Show has appeared 6'7'' with him once, then *inches* taller another time.
And boxing heights are relatively quite often inflated; it's show business. Heck, even stuff like reach is (for intimidation). Ask on any boxing board if you're interested. In fact, I'll do it for you if you choose not to and want to continue this point. Vegas says on 3/Mar/08
wlad is listed at 6'6 in boxing it clearly shows it here 37 seconds in Click Here
so if he is listed at 6'6 how does that make him 6'7?? i am with Jason on this he looks 6'5-6'5.5" barefoot to me
i would really have to see the video of him and Conan to comment but i suspect it will be something like this where Rock has 3-4" on Conan Click Here Atoadaso says on 2/Mar/08
Yes, Wlad is 6'7" or thereabouts, it's obvious from dozens of staredowns, face to face, and often barefoot, with other tall HW's around the 6'5", or 6'6" mark, and he will end up taller than them. Professional boxers stats are not inflated, they are medically recorded, and the only discrepency you will ever find is possibly height in shoes, or some incorrect data in translation from the metric system, which is why I believe Wlad said he was only 6'5" on Conan. This is not UFC, or WWE - the stats are valid.
I can use any of Wlad's fights, but recently, his fight with Ibragimov, who is listed at 6'2". If Wlad is around 6'5", then Ibragimov becomes about 5'11", which is ridiculous.
He had about 3.5"-4" on Conan O'brien. In fact, when Wlad came out to greet him, Conan was obviously very shocked at how big he was, as he had to look up to see him. stevo says on 2/Mar/08
he says on a foxtel ad that he's 6'4 Jason says on 27/Feb/08
I've always said Wlad is 196cm (6'5 1/4''). He isn't 6'7'', he even said himself that he's 6'5''. The reason Wlad appears taller against some guys is because their billed heights are inflated. Alex says on 23/Feb/08
Adding to what Brah said, Conan has also mentioned on-air that his stage is slanted, so if you don't trust your own judgment of angles, you can take his word for it. :) The "ring spin" segments that aired during the strike are one example -- he points out that he needs to hold one end of the desk up in order to keep the ring spinning in place, because the desk is on an incline and the ring would otherwise fall off its edge.
It's very likely the desk area was intentionally built this way to minimize Conan's height, both to avoid distraction and to ensure that visiting celebs are not seen in unflattering light (appearing short next to Conan). It's only that one part of the set, though -- the rest is even. TJ says on 23/Feb/08
Mark D, shoes with large heels are not lifts, they are just shoes with large heels. Mark D. says on 22/Feb/08
Hasselhoff always wears lifts, especially in Night Rider days. Not cheating
kind of lifts short folks wear who don't want you to know they have them on
- but just those shoes with thick heels. Conan probably does not, and that
could fully explain that, plus he's farther from the camera than David...
Hogan also wears lift shoes a lot to look taller than he is to keep his
'rep' as a 'big dude' going. I also believe the part that the stage is
set so those to the left and away from Conan who's at his desk seem a
bit taller, since he is tall, so things would match a bit better... Atoadaso says on 22/Feb/08
Wladimir Klitschko towered over Conan tonight. I thought it was strange when he said he was only 6'5" when Conan asked him, and said Vitali was 6'7". Wlad is at around 6'7" based on staredowns with other tall boxers - take a look at him with 6'6" Ray Austin, for example. Also there is not much than 1" height difference between him and Vitali, who is very likely 6'8". Anyways, Conan looked about 6'3.5" with Wlad which is probably about right. Broskie says on 16/Feb/08
Maybe Hasselhoff is taller than 6'4"? I mean, Conan stood next to Bob Saget (who's a legitimate 6'4") and Conan was definitely the taller of the two. Vegas says on 9/Feb/08
Brah says on 9/Feb/08
When Hasselhoff and Conan stood back to back, Hasselhoff did appear taller
only very slightly maybe half an inch or so and conan is now clearly further from the camera in the shot, their shoulders, legs are at the exact same height though, i would love to see that shot with roles reversed ie. conan in hasselhoffs position and vice versa Click Here Brah says on 9/Feb/08
I am mentioning all this because alot of people use the show to compare guests and this comes into consideration. Brah says on 9/Feb/08
When Hasselhoff and Conan stood back to back, Hasselhoff did appear taller.
The camera is not at an angle. It is a straight line forward from where the audience sits.
It is the stage that is at an angle. The way the chairs and desks look in the background of your photos is a dead giveaway of the angle of the stage.
Where Conan stands to give his monologue though is not angled and is a straight-on view. Vegas says on 9/Feb/08
funny thing is 6'4 david hasselhoff barely looked taller than conan despite being on the left side of the stage, how do you guys explain that?? Click Here
the whole stage has to be tilted if that is the case because here conan meets hulk hogan basically at the entrance way far away from the desk and conan is still shorter than hulk who is no more than 6'4 today Click Here
personally i think the problem is not stage tilt or whatever its camera angle (which you mention in your piece Brah) the michael strahan one is obvious he is miles closer to the camera here than conan Click Here
hogan is slightly closer to the camera here giving a distorted view that hogan is 3 inches taller at least Click Here
then you have the subtle camera angle which is responsible for 99% of the problems on conans shows, the camera angle here Click Here
that same camera angle in the above photo made 6'5ish Charles Barkley look 3-4" taller than Conan Brah says on 8/Feb/08
Vegas, I was using that as an example of the angle of the stage. And I know that because I have seen the Conan O'Brien show in person sitting in the front row. The Rock and Conan are not the same distance from the camera even in that 2005 pic.
You are judging from TV and small pictures. I sat 10 feet away from Conan and know how the stage looks in person! The stage is a raised platform that is tilted inward to the right and the cameraman is focused straight on, without compensating for the tilt.
Anyone who stands on the right side of the stage platform (the "desk" side) is farther away from the camera than someone who stands on the left. Danimal says on 7/Feb/08
Vegas says on 6/Feb/08
here is the clip of strahan and conan, strahan is much closer to the camera so an estimation between the two is very difficult, for once conan's head is half the size of his guests :) Click Here
WOWWWWWWWW are you a hypocrite. When does it end Vegas? WHEN? You post Hogan on Conan, where Hogan is much closer to the camera and you freeze frame saying Hogan has 2" on Conan. WHEN does it end Vegas? When??? Vegas says on 7/Feb/08
Brah says on 7/Feb/08
The episode where Rock shook hands with Conan, they looked the same height. Some even said that the Rock appeared slightly taller, which we know is not the case.
we know that how?? have you measured both and can confirm 100% that conan is indeed taller than dwayne johnson, after all both men say they are 6'4, johnson has a little more going for him because he was actually listed in football with the miami hurricanes at that height, i can't seem to find a 6'4 legit sports listing for conan or indeed 99% of those on tv or in the movies :P
for what its worth i don't think rock is taller than 6'3 but he did look the exact same height as conan in 2005 with both men exactly the same distance from the camera Click Here here in 2006 the angle favours dwayne a bit like it does strahan from the video i posted yday and johnson looks 2-2.5" inches taller than conan because of it Click Here Brah says on 7/Feb/08
True that guests looks taller on the show. This is because the stage is at an angle. The right side of the stage (where Conan sits or stands to shake hands with the guests)is a little farther back then where the guests come on and sit.
The episode where Rock shook hands with Conan, they looked the same height. Some even said that the Rock appeared slightly taller, which we know is not the case. AAAA says on 7/Feb/08
Interesting point Alex. That could be true, especially when some one else, hassehoff who may be closer to 6'5, also says 6'4. I never thought of it that way Alex says on 7/Feb/08
He's between 6'4" and 6'5", just as he says. When he was younger, I believe he used to round to 6'5" more often; now it seems like he more often rounds to 6'4", possibly because he's realized that you can't really get away with rounding up in a profession that involves standing next to so many celebrities.
Either way, he is NOT "infatuated with his height", as poster Atoadaso puts it. Joking about his awkward appearance is part of his shtick, but if you ever run into him in real life, remarks about his height will only get you weary looks -- practically everyone he meets is shocked by how much taller he looks in person than on TV, and I think by now he's a bit bored with the whole thing as a topic of discussion.
And Danimal, O'Brien grew the beard as a writers' strike solidarity thing -- many members of his staff did, too. ;) Vegas says on 6/Feb/08
here is the clip of strahan and conan, strahan is much closer to the camera so an estimation between the two is very difficult, for once conan's head is half the size of his guests :) Click Here J says on 6/Feb/08
He's freakin tall. Standing next to Colbert & Stewart, I didn't realize how tall he was. [Go NJ Giants...lol... No for real, why is their stadium here?] Eli Manning says on 5/Feb/08
Conan weighs 178 lbs? damn he's skinny, he's like me, 6'4" except i'm 225, and by the way a recent super bowl champion, Go Giants! we rule Albi says on 5/Feb/08
@Joshua
I have a boxer friend of mine who is 6'3 and 190 and pretty muscular. If you eliminate fat 200 pounds is a pretty strong weight. You cannot be skinny, 200 pounds and just 6'2 at the same time. Wlad Klitchko was muscular-skinny when he entered professional boxing and he was 6'6 and 190 pounds. Danimal says on 21/Jan/08
I would not go so far as to say 220 pounds is huge on a man who is 6'4", but yes, he was obviously much heavier than he's been the last little while. derek says on 20/Jan/08
from 1998 to about 2002 he looked like he weighed at least 220.... he looked huge. Zedrick says on 19/Jan/08
6' 4", good hell! I think his forehead accounts for well over half of his height. Danimal says on 12/Jan/08
Conan grew that beard for a reason. I personally believe he is sick. I have noticed his cheekbones protruding for some time now. He has lost a considerable amount of weight. If he is only 178 nowadays, he was surely much heavier only a couple of years ago (190-210 pounds). Joshua says on 12/Jan/08
Im 6`2" and weigh around 195-200 pounds. And Im pretty skinny. 178 lbs for a 6`4" guy! Jesus. Michael Mills says on 9/Jan/08
Conan is 6'4" he mentioned his personal stats Monday night on his show, he weighs 178 lbs. I have to say that's lanky, thin for a 6'4" guy I myself am that tall and I look thin at 190 lbs. OutBenchThis says on 8/Jan/08
Hulk was on Late nite the other night..They looked to be the same height when Hulk made Conan stand next to him to flex..but I couldn't see footwear. Danimal says on 5/Jan/08

there is a photo of him having nearly 4" on 6'3 Roger Waters just 2 weeks ago which i didn't post because maybe he is standing on a step or something
the problem is barkley has been downgraded for far too long, he is 6'5 at the very least and he did say he was 6'5.5" on tv in january Danimal says on 1/Dec/07
Stop it Jason. Conan is not 6'2". He's been next to TOO many tall guests in the last 14+ years to chop him of 2" as you so often do to others. Brah says on 1/Dec/07
It must've been the camera angle. Conan has looked 6'4" next to many other guests. Vegas says on 1/Dec/07
yeah and then everyone including hasselhoff, Tom Selleck are down to 6'2 as well, lol
barkley is 1" shorter in photos than Dominique Wilkins, only 6" or so shorter than shaq, nearly the same height as Krist Novoselic, how much more evidence do you need that Barkley is more than 6'4???
conan was 2" taller than Hugh Laurie who in turn was 3" taller than zach braff, no way braff is 5'9 :D Jason says on 1/Dec/07
He must be around 6'2" after seeing him next to Barkley. Unless the stage is slanted. Conan asked Barkley to stand up for a play confrontation and Barkley was a few inches taller. |
