@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!

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.

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.

wow.. he looks taller. i would have given him at least 5'8" to 5'9".. i am shocked at his height actually

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.

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.

Rob is it possible he is the 5ft 7in range.

I saw sigourney weaver on his show and and sigourney had to be 6 inches taller than him if she was wearing tall heels he would come up to her boobs!

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.

Strange... People very often assume this guy is at least average.

John says 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).

nice, i never would have guessed, that's around my 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."

Yea, how terrible that he would be conscious about something he has no control over >__>

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. :)

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.

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

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

who ever said this guy is 5ft 10in he is nowhere near 5ft 10in he is 5ft 7in he doesn't sound like a lift wearer at all.

maximus meridius says on 19/Nov/10
5ft 7in is not exactly short for a man because it's only between 2 and 3 inches below average.

This is a site about people's heights so are you honestly surprised? Interesting how you're spending your time on this site.

Nazzty says on 28/Oct/10
You guys really like to discuss people's heights.
