He only looks barely taller than John Cleese, despite having around 0.5" more footwear: Click Here
Maybe he is more dead on 6ft6, and the reason he got measured higher was because checkups are usually in the morning. Hugh 190-192cm says on 9/Jan/10
i think 6"6 Flat or 6"6.25 is nearer. Dave H. says on 22/Dec/09
We're nit-picking over an inch. I shook hand with him, (like holding a bunch of bananas!) Let's just say that Penn's a big ol' tall burley dude! JD says on 23/Oct/09
I always thought Penn was 6'2ish and Teller was really short. Turns out Teller is like 5'9 and Penn is 6'7. he DWARFS teller, it's a joke. very tall dude, we also need a page for Teller. Shock says on 25/Sep/09
If he was taking his kid to the doctor, I wonder if it was a morning measurement. If he was 6'6.75" in the morning, chances are he hits 6'6" at night, or even midday. Lana says on 16/Jul/09
He says he's "closer" to 6'7 here: Click Here
So 6 ft 6.5 in is probably right =) drk says on 11/Jul/09
I got a photo with Penn in vegas. I'm about 6'5" and change and he had probably 1 to 1.5 inch on me. Was wearing some big heel type magician shoes though so barefoot i'd give him 1" on me putting him at around 6'6.25". Coincidentally he said he is 6'7" during the show... and in shoes he is at least that, but not barefoot. matt says on 4/Jul/09
Something odd.......I never knew Penn was this tall, i simply celebheight searched him because I had seen on here that Benicio Del Torro was 6'2, though had claimed 6'4
In Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, there is a scene with Penn Jillette, and he looks a very similar height to Del Torro - maybe an inch taller or two
Should Del Torro not be upgraded to 6'4?.....Personally I think penn looks 6'6 Mychel says on 29/May/09
He's such a giant. I saw him on Red Eye and he made Greg Gutfeld look like a dwarf by comparison. Mark D. says on 26/May/09
In the Ed Begley pic, Ed's closer to camera. Penn is bending forward at the waist. His belt line is 2 inches higher than Ed's. Shoe thickness, we don't know. A friend of mine who's a few inches under my chin in height met Penn a few days ago took a picture of it. I'm almost 6'5". I saw the picture. He stood behind her and she was only up to his mid chest. It looked like she was sitting down! Almost 6'7" seems right. Cameron says on 30/Apr/09
Alex, in that video he says hes taller than NFL player Jason Taylor. Taylor is a measured 6-5 1/2. yoyo says on 30/Apr/09
he could be 200cm tall when he was young. 199cm now sounds accurate. thats no way to argue his noticeable big frame.. a 300pounds giant as well.. JuhaP says on 6/Apr/09
Here's Penn with 6ft 4in Ed Begley jr. They look like to be the same height. Click Here Alex says on 9/Mar/09
Sorry, I meant to say he's closer *to* 6'7". Alex says on 7/Mar/09
In this video he describes that he was lying about being 6'6" and that he's actually closer than 6'7" and that he was actually taller than a 6'6" person. Click Here LOL says on 21/Feb/09
yeah... he is definitly 6'6" Raul Duke says on 4/Feb/09
Del Torro and Jillette appear around the same height in Fear and Lothing, as Del Torro walks right in front of him. Anonymous says on 3/Jan/09
I've met Penn; most of the people here probably haven't. He is an ENORMOUS person. To say that he is less than 6’6.75" is absurd.
Why is everyone so obsessed with the photo of Penn and Cleese – as though that’s the only photo that’s ever been taken of him? Look at photos of Penn with ordinary-size people, and the way he towers over them. 6'5"-ish guys don't tower over people the way Penn does.
Penn was easily 13” taller than Regis Philbin (probably 5’6”) when he was on Regis’s show. When he was on the NBC Today show about a year ago, he was a solid 2-2.5" taller than the 6’5” David Gregory. George says on 1/Jan/09
He was .75 - 1 inch taller than John Cleese who is either a strong 6'4 or 6'5.
So I would say strong 6'5, possible 6'6. Definitely not 6'7 though. dicksock says on 25/Oct/08
Penn is 6'6.5". Anonymous says on 25/Sep/08
I have met Penn. I believe he is legitimately 6'7". Clay says on 9/Sep/08
Last night on Carson Daly he said he was 6'7''. Gonzalo says on 15/Oct/07
Where did his pic with Vegas go? It was an excellent pic Alex V. says on 21/Sep/07
Penn is taller than Cleese, maybe 2cm (0.5"- 1") Vegas says on 17/Sep/07
to me it looks like they both have the exact same footwear only in different colours. You can see Cleese's heels at 8 min 8 seconds, 8 min 15 seconds and 8 min 32 seconds.
i agree though 6'5 for Cleese and 6'6 for Jillette, two funny guys Ron from Tampa says on 16/Sep/07
It appears to me that in the video, Penn is wearing red shoes (possibly cowboy boots) with very high heels, and John Cleese is wearing normal dress shoes. At times in the video when they were standing close and both standing straight up, Penn seems to be 1.5" to 2" taller than Cleese. However, I think Penn's shoe heels were about an inch higher than John's. If this is correct, it seems to me that John Cleese is just 1 inch shorter than Penn (if both were barefoot). So, from everything I've seen of John and Penn, 6'5" for Cleese and 6'6" for Penn seems realistic. As mentioned on this site, differing heel heights can be very misleading in height comparisons. I'm a big fan of each of these guys, and the video was very entertaining. BigT says on 15/Aug/07
great call on the height because check this next to 6'5" John Cleese Click Here its very clear penn is an inch above cleese lillo thomas says on 14/Aug/07
i think penn could be a legit 6-6 stewy says on 13/Aug/07
On the SHOtime comedy series "Penn And Teller: Bulls---!", he said he was
6 feet, 6 inches and 310 pounds RICHARD says on 19/May/07
He is definetly taller than Teller,obvious. He is a solid 6'6. Vegas says on 31/Mar/07
I thought Teller looked about 5'8 to me in person. I have 3" on him. Penn looked a legit 6'6 alrite, no lower than 6'5 for definite though. Samantha says on 28/Mar/07
He is most likely 6'6" because Teller is 5'9" as stated in one of their shows and Penn is much taller than him and looks huge wherever he goes. Vegas says on 8/Mar/07
Jillette is bending how does the photo give him an advantage??
Parker is looking at least 6'1 in that photo with 5'8-5'9 Teller; Viper; he has at least 2" more height on Teller than I had; well at least thats what i think anyway?? Click Here I have seen Parker look taller than 6'2 listed Zidane and Maria Sharapova in photos too, so these guys will have to come down to 6'0 or below if Parker is just 6ft.
I love how in soccer and the NBA the smaller guys get downgraded to much less than they actually are listed, who knows why this happens but it happens all the time. Gonzalo says on 8/Mar/07
Jillette further from the camera, Vegas? I just don`t see that. That photo advantages Jillette. Anyway, as I said it was a quick shot on TV so probably th difference is more what you say. I will have to do more research Vegas says on 1/Mar/07
visibily leaning; further from the camera and still a good 4" taller than 6'2 NBA listed Tony Parker in this photo Click Here Gonzalo says on 21/Feb/07
I saw him in the NBA All Star weekend next to Tony Parker. It was a quick shot but he didn`t look four inches taller than Tony, just a couple. Vegas says on 1/Feb/07
Taller than 6'4 anyway as people here are saying. I was standing at my tallest and he was slouching a little and still had me by a good 6". I think 6'6 is very possible for this guy, but as Viper says he is 6'5 minimum J-Dog says on 29/Jan/07
I think he is 6'5". larry says on 1/Apr/06
He was on SNL when Randy Quaid was a regular & looked 2 cms to 1 inch taller. Since Randy is usually listed as 6'4", that would make Penn 6'5". J. says on 29/Mar/06
In this photo essay that Penn penned (no pun intended- lol), he states that he's 6'6" and 278 lbs (wow): Click Here Horatio says on 28/Mar/06
He said 6'5" at the show that I went to. Has he grown an inch in his old age?
For us average height folks it's difficult to tell the height of folks who are in the extremes. But during the intermission, Penn met with the audience and he towered over virtually everyone so he is definitely around 6 and a half feet.
I met Teller on stage, he is 5'8" tops.
[Editor Rob: probably a bit like the guy on Whose line is it anyway...depending on the day might say 6ft 5 or 6ft 6...] iris says on 28/Mar/06
yep... this guy seems huge, moreover standing all the time next to Teller J. says on 28/Mar/06
Teller, is supposedly, 5'9". |
