Andrea, he did himself say something like he was "more 6'7 than 6'6," or "closer to 6'7 than 6'6," and he's outright said 6'7 a few times. He said he got measured when he took his child to the doctor for a checkup, I think, so it could well have been in the morning. Maybe he had shoes. Maybe they measured him wrong. At any rate, tall as he looks, he really doesn't look like he's pushing 6'7.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 9/Feb/12
Rob, why did you listed him at 6'6.5, if he said 6'6? He actually looks 6'6 tops, even less to be honest... Shaun says on 7/Feb/12
Yeah an inch taller than Cleese, 6'6" ish, not sure where the half inch extra came from though! Tommy says on 2/Feb/12
6'6.5 is too much. He was an inch taller than 6'4.75 Cleese when they appeared together, footwear the same. I know of a guy who's 6'6 who said he taller than Jillette when they stood together. So I'd say pushing 6'6 at his peak, and around 6'5 flat today. avi says on 6/Nov/11
i think Penn is 6'6 flat but could be 6'5.75. Never over 6'6. Dont knwo why Rob gave him 6'6.5 thats generous. i wish people would plop an extra .5-.75 inch to my height... leo says on 5/Nov/11
LAN Jiao, your height is very inconsistent. First you claim 6'4.75" barefoot now 6'5.3". Are you talking thin shoes? leo says on 5/Nov/11
Truthman, what do you mean barely taller than Conan? I see 2-2.5 inches easy between them. Clint says on 5/Nov/11
LAN Jiao, lol are you asian? Cause I am half asian and am 6'6" during the day. Vegas says on 2/Nov/11
LAN Jiao says on 1/Nov/11
i agree with you this Penn Jillette guy look around my height 6'5 could be shorter than me thought by 0.3 im min 6'5.3
____________
you are as tall as penn jillette!! your username alone suggests you are 11 or 12 years old LAN Jiao says on 1/Nov/11
viper you are very tall. yes at 6'3 a real one is rare shorter than a person walks out on street. im 6'5.3 almost tower everyone i met daily, even in a mall i don often met a guy over 6'3 tall . i know people who claim 6'3 yet they was't that tall and i could spot people really 6'3 top over them.
i agree with you this Penn Jillette guy look around my height 6'5 could be shorter than me thought by 0.3 im min 6'5.3 RICHARD says on 18/Aug/11
I think 5'10-6'1 is a good,tall height for a guy,and then anything over 6'1 is pushing like WOW tall,esp.6'7 for a 16 y/o,and I've seen many tall guys like Penn at the mall,grocery stores,etc...hell,even girls who are like 5'11-6'0 amaze me with how tall they are,and I've seen girls like 6'3...girls are definately getting taller and taller as time goes on,sadly I'm an average height guy who gets dwarfed by anyone over 6',even some girls..lol...;( James says on 25/Jun/11
Yeah 6'7 is a giant. I think 6'4 (1.93m) is the start of WOW tall. It is very rare to see a 6'7 guy yes but not impossible. In my opinion it is virtually impossible if you live in a small sized town to spot someone that is 6'8 or over generally over 6'7. heck where i am from even 6'4 or 6'5 is rare..... that said last night when i was in a car park in small town i saw an old guy that i think was around 6'4 or 6'4 1/2? In my opinon 'standard' normal tall is 6'1 since you do see quite a few 6'1ers in bars. you see do see maybe a handful 6'2 and 6'3 guys but they are genrally outnumberd by the amount of 6ft and 6'1 guys you see. might see 1 or 2 6'4 men in a crowded bar. Overall though i think 6'0 or 6'1 do not look that impressive unless your bulky and muscular at these heights.
As for Penn Jillete...
Today 6'5.25
Peak 6'6 (198cm)
Still not convinced about 6'6 1/2.
here with 195cm John Cleese looks no more than 3cm taller. Cleese was 196cm at his peak but he looks a bit older here so i am guessing he was 195cm when this was recorded.

The Viper guy who said he was 6-1 must have been a different person. Lillo thomas says on 20/Jun/11
6-7 guys are huge even in my view . Is very rare to see one in person. J-Dog says on 19/Jun/11
Viper you are 6'3"?????
I find this very odd as I have been on this site for years and I have seen you post on numerous occasions that you were 6'1" continuously in the past. As that was the height or below you would also downgrade celebs IE: like saying Keanu Reeves never looked 6'1" (I think Keanu Reeves looks 6'1" I just gave this as an example you would often say) Viper says on 18/Jun/11
Im 6-3 and seeing somebody taller than me at the mall is pretty damn rare. Very rare. PatB says on 16/Jun/11
"I don't see people taller than 6' 4'' at the mall often."
I'm 6'4" or a bit more in street shoes. I also used to teach statistics. The mean height for men is about 5'9" and the standard deviation is 2.5" or thereabouts. The math works out such that being 6'4" puts you in the 99th percentile. That means at the mall about one man in a hundred will be 6'4" or taller. I figure you meet maybe 200 men in the mall in an afternoon so you should see two (one to three) tall guys. I have tested this reasoning on the streets of San Franciso at lunch hour when its very crowded. I started counting men as I passed by them. Sure enough I usually got up to 100 before I passed a guy taller than me.
Penn Jillette looks to me to be an honest 6'6". He's bigger than I am. At that size it's better to be rich so you can afford to fly first class. Trust me on that one. I used to fly all over the country for a consulting firm that would only pay for coach. Just remembering that experience is painful to this day.
Since big men often gain and lose and inch or more from day to day or even within a single day I think all these confident assertions about half inch differences is pretty silly. James says on 10/Jun/11
I agree 6'5
Conan is 6'3.5 i think James says on 10/Jun/11
i agree 6'5 Dave says on 9/Jun/11
it's really bad when you're 199 cm, because you are just 1 cm under 2 m :) Blaine says on 4/Jun/11
He not 6'6 on the show with john cleese, who is 6'5 was not 1 and half inches taller no more than 6'5.5 ANDREA[ITA] says on 1/Jun/11
If Jon Ross really is 185, he's gotta be solid 6ft7! Truthman says on 26/May/11
Barely taller than Conan
Click Here Legend says on 17/May/11
He's 6'5. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 11/May/11
198cm(6"6)...out of bed he's probably 199cm James says on 23/Feb/11
you seriously do not get legit 6'4ers around. Joe says on 29/Jan/11
I'd definitely believe 6'6". I am 5'9" and he was crouching a bit in people's pictures, when some one who was probably around 6'4" came for a picture he stood straighter and appeared to be the same height as a roommate I used to have (also 6'6"). When it was my turn he went down a few inches again to appear more like my dad's height of 6'3". He even commented how when the tall guy had his picture taken it was nice to stretch for a bit. Matt says on 26/Jan/11
@Viper I don't see people taller than 6' 4'' at the mall often. Vegas says on 12/Jan/11
with jon ross (who is closer to the camera), ross looks right around lettermans height next to jillette

Yeh Penn is big, he has the height plus the mass, like a mini-Andre. Viper says on 7/Jan/11
I sure dont see people taller than 6-6 at a mall often Anonymous says on 7/Jan/11
Ahhh, Vegas, I didn't notice Cleese had big heels on too. Still, that certainly wouldn't make Penn 6'6.5 Probably more just shy of 6-6. And 6'6 is very tall, but at least in the places where I go, it isn't super-rare or anything. Vegas says on 7/Jan/11
not sure why rob upped him alrite but in that cleese video both men are wearing similiar heels, cleese in is cubans while penn is in cowboys, cleese's long pants cover his heels but there are points in that video where they are evident, e.g 1min 9 seconds, 4mins 8 secs, 8mins 15secs those clearly are not just ordinary dress shoe heels Click Here quite difficult to get a screen grab of cleeses heels Click Here
penn is extremely tall and heavy in person (easily 300lb+ when i met him 5 years ago) its very rare to see guys that big walking around i don't care where you go, there were over 15,000 students in my last university and i never ran into anyone with that mass and we had guys who went onto play pro-rugby Anonymous says on 6/Jan/11
Seriously Rob, you need to downgrade him. Based on the video of him and Cleese, he just can't be 6'6.5 There is not a 1.75" difference, even with Penn's footwear advantage. Anonymous says on 6/Jan/11
Duhon, 6'6 is really tall, but it isn't anything extraordinary. If you just go to a mall or any high school, you will likely see a few people taller than that. And Scandinave, I dunno about 6ft4, but he certainly isn't 6'6.5. Check out the video of him and John Cleese (6'4.75), and you will see there is only an inch or so between them-- and Penn has cowboy boots, meaning it's probably more like only a half inch difference.
Conclusion: Penn is probably a strong 6-5 Anonymous says on 6/Jan/11

Meet this guy when i was in las vegas. i am at his stated height (6ft6.5/199cm. i stood next to him for about 5 minutes,aand i easily noticed that he was 2-3 inches shorter than me. i Even think he had a slight fotwear advantage. 6ft6.5 isnt right. More like 6ft4. d wade says on 24/Dec/10
you are sightless mandilo shaq has easy 7 inches in the video on penn jillette Duhon says on 10/Dec/10
At 6'6" you can probably go your whole life with seeing maybe only a handful of people who are your height or taller so it's something he's surely not used to. James says on 5/Dec/10
Penn looks miffed that Shaq is so much taller. twh says on 7/Nov/10
Here is me standing next to Penn. I'm wearing running shoes. I'm somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7" depending on how straight I'm standing.

One thing for sure, there's no way Teller is 5'9" unless he's standing in a hole in this picture.
