He is 5'11, I did an interview with him and I'm 6' and one half inch and I was about an inch and a half taller at most!
Yelmer says on 29/Dec/11
IDK - he always even recently still looks 5'11" in the video and in the pic Mamun seems to be standing really tall/erect, almost uncomfortably so, while Jay seems very loose and hunched even just standing
Paul says on 27/Dec/11
no taller than 176cm
Senguia says on 28/Nov/11
LOL 6'0 peak. Hes never been taller than 5'10.
ACG says on 27/Nov/11
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.
ChiasmataX says on 21/Nov/11
Watched the video. He's 177-178cm (not 179cm) considered he had footwear advantage over Mamun.
josh says on 19/Nov/11
5'10 is right saw him when howie mandel got his star on the walk of fame..with shoes he hovers around 5'11
Physics Enemy says on 18/Nov/11
I peg him at 5' 9.5" today Danimal.
Physics Enemy says on 18/Nov/11
5' 9.5", checked the vid. He looks under 2" taller than 5' 7.75" Mamun (2" minus footwear advantage). He was 5' 10" peak, if he indeed lost 0.5" since his prime.
Physics Enemy says on 18/Nov/11
5' 9.5" currently, I checked the vid. He looks under 2" taller than 5' 7.75" Mamun. He was 5' 10" peak then, if he indeed lost 0.5" since his prime.
dicksock says on 17/Nov/11
Jay is about 5'10.5" next to Mamun.
Danimal says on 8/Nov/11
Was 5'10" back in the early 1990's (shorter than Jerry Seinfeld in 1992).
Mamun says on 7/Nov/11
Please look at the vedio Maximus !

this picture sucks for measurement purposes...strange angle...hard to tell lenos height.
Neil C Reinhardt says on 28/Oct/11
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.
Chameleon says on 21/Sep/11
lol @ Clay not watching the video and seeing him with good posture next to Mamun putting him at 5'10 max.
Clay says on 20/Sep/11
lol@everyone not noticing Jay lean and posture giving up a couple inches...
LUCOSO says on 13/Sep/11
this is unbeliveble jay is almost a midget now,rob isnt he claims to be 6 feet tall some years ago
[Editor Rob: there's supposed to be a few claims from him about height.]
Mathew says on 29/Aug/11
frank says on 24/Jul/11
Danimal i dont think Seinfield is 5ft 11 because he looked close to 2 inches shorter than Ex Met Keith Hernandez who is 6ft I met Keith and took a picture with him

I do believe Jerry is 5'11". 6'1" minus 2" is 5'11" anyways.
Chameleon says on 16/Aug/11
I agree looked 5'10 max..
Mamun says on 30/Jul/11
In order to avoid a big crowd , they never announce this in advance ! I was only lucky to be told a day earlier !

SUPERMUN
180cm says on 30/Jul/11
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.
jtm says on 30/Jul/11
i would have went if i knew this was gonna happened.
LG69 says on 29/Jul/11
At most, Jay looked 5'10".
Mamun says on 27/Jul/11
Your Welcome Oddway ! With more support from posters such as yourself , maybe and just maybe a director may as well pick me up for a staring role in a movie ! But your support and references is all I need !

Regards

SUPERMUN
Oddway says on 26/Jul/11
Congrats on your appearance, Mamun, and a nice anecdote you provided there. Leno's height seems pretty accurate here.
Mamun says on 26/Jul/11
Thank you for all of your kind comments ! Yes GOD willingly it will soon happen ! SUPERMUN an Int'l star !

Regards

SUPERMUN
Dom says on 25/Jul/11
Definitely doesnt look less than 5'10,5" in the Mamun video.
Ū says on 25/Jul/11
Woah mamun going mainstream.Any hollywood offers?maybe the next bond.
Viper says on 24/Jul/11
I think he could be under 5-10.
frank says on 24/Jul/11
Danimal i dont think Seinfield is 5ft 11 because he looked close to 2 inches shorter than Ex Met Keith Hernandez who is 6ft I met Keith and took a picture with him
Mamun says on 24/Jul/11
By the way , to get an accurate height of Jay , pause right after I call him uncle Jay in the vedio ! There is a very nice shot of me and Jay with the same posture !

Regards

SUPERMUN
Mamun says on 24/Jul/11
Thanks for all of your kind remarks ! Yes A it is the same T shirt ! I have a feeling that barefoot the story would have been completely different ! You also have to remember that I never told Jay that this picture would be used to compare heights ! So he was trying to be as warm to me as possible with that pose which means " PEACE " in LA ! Still I am very very grateful to my " Uncle Jay " for everything !

Regards

SUPERMUN
Christian says on 23/Jul/11
Great Mamun:) If yourīre 173 cm I would put Jay at Robīs estimate at 179 cm.
Ras says on 23/Jul/11
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.
Mamun says on 23/Jul/11
Thanks Barbarossa ! I have been under much much worse situations !

SUPERMUN
tb4 says on 22/Jul/11
5`9.5 - 5`10
runt says on 22/Jul/11
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.
A says on 22/Jul/11
Mamun, I have that same shirt, Does yours have the superman Logo backwards when turned inside out? Mine does.

Too bad you couldn't get Jay to stand tall in the photo though, it would've made it easier to compare heights.
Mathew says on 22/Jul/11
Danimal says on 22/Jul/11
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.
James says on 22/Jul/11
i was able to watch the tonight show but i still couden't access the mamun and jay leno page.

Its not the end of the world.
Barbarossa says on 22/Jul/11
Mamun is nice.
Danimal says on 22/Jul/11
Mathew says on 21/Jul/11
BTW that's 2" max was considering footware, and it was a brief comparisons with strange angles he can certainly be 5'10.5" with Mamun too, even though I don't think he looked much more than 5'10" flat when the angle didn't favor Jay. He's no 5'11" these days though.

He never was 5'11". Was always 1" shorter than 5'11" Jerry Seinfeld.
The Horse of FUNK says on 21/Jul/11
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.
The Horse of FUNK says on 21/Jul/11
I think 5'10.5" fits him fine enough.

Desks with no chairs. LOL, were you serious, Mamun?
Mamun says on 21/Jul/11
Thank you for you kind remarks Mathew !

Regards

SUPERMUN
James says on 21/Jul/11
no rob the page does not evcen load up at all. when i try and click the link this small hand comes up if that makes any sense?
[Editor Rob: I don't know the problem then, if you can view the Tonight Show main page then the other page should work aswell.]

Wow, that's awesome Mamun was on the show! Anyways, Jay isn't more than 2" taller than Mamun imo.
tell-em says on 21/Jul/11
jay leno looked 5'10" w/ mamun.
Mamun says on 21/Jul/11
Thank you your Excellency ROB !

SUPERMUN
James says on 21/Jul/11
rob is there an easy way i could access the video with mamun and jay leno cause when i click on the link above it does not work?
[Editor Rob: I know the link works as I clicked it from my own computer and the video plays here in the UK. Does the page actually load up but the clip doesn't play, if so then it might be to do with your browser settings?]
Bradi says on 21/Jul/11
Jay Leno looks 5'10'' with Mamun considering his footwear advantage, but 5'10.5'' works as well.
Danimal says on 20/Jul/11
5'10"
the shredder says on 20/Jul/11
LOL ... Jay : you had a desk with no chair
Mamun says on 20/Jul/11
Yeah uncle Jay also had some footwear advantage ! He might be checking this site very soon as I had told him about this site ! Dream come true for me as I really really admire this gentleman ! I will soon send the pictures to King ROB !

Regards

SUPERMUN
the shredder says on 19/Jul/11
LOL Mamun was on the show ... Jay to me looked 5'10.5 .
C says on 19/Jul/11
I saw Mamun on Jaywalking tonight, interviewed by Leno! Amazed to see him on TV. He looked barely shorter than Leno, which was odd. It could have been the camera angle, but looked to be no more than 1-2" shorter than Jay. Could be Jay's posture too.
stoodnext2 says on 27/May/11
I've been to his shoe and compared heights. This is right for him take OR give half an inch
Danimal says on 17/May/11
5'11" Jerry Seinfeld had about an inch on Jay in the early/mid 1990's..
Danimal says on 17/May/11
Stated his own height as being 5'10" just before he got the full time gig on the Tonight Show in the early 1990's.. It was an interview on Oprah or The Tonight Show... Now at 60+ years old, he's under that...
art says on 17/May/11
No way Absolutely under 6 foot ever notice when he does his jaywalking street interviews they pick short people

P>S> you will never see steve martin on jay leno he was his competition to the carson throne martin only gets on letterman
CJ says on 13/May/11

Ty says on 10/Apr/11
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.
anon says on 12/Mar/11
He was couple of inches below Margo Dydek's shoulder.
Carguy says on 14/Feb/11
I've met Jay several times. Twice at my shop, twice at his shop. I'm exactly 5'10 1/2 inches in stocking feet. I see almost eye to eye with him, him being maybe 1/2 inch taller. That would put him exactly 5'11''. Regardless of his height, he's a friendly engaging guy that is down to earth.
Clay says on 17/Jan/11
JAck Black was no more than a foot shorter than 6'7'' Tony Robbins - though JAck was probably in lifts a lot of the time in Shallow Hal.
Anon says on 21/Dec/10
With ~5'8" Stuttering John Click Here
bk says on 18/Dec/10
that's it. everytime a celeb comes on his show, Leno never looks 5'11". Jack Black (5'6") with a shoe DISadvantage was on and clearly only 4 inches shorter at most. Leno might be a strong 5'10" at this point, but I'd bet a lot of money he ain't 5'11"
danny says on 2/Dec/10
then dicaprio is 180 cm ?
