The opinion that Penn is an inch taller than Gleese is nonsense. Maybe he is a half inch taller than Gleese but that's all. I always thought that Glenn is 6'5" but after this video with John Cleese, Penn looks 6'5 1/2" and John Cleese 6'5" or maybe 6'4 3/4".

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

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.

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

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
Viper says on 2/Mar/07
Parker is closer to 6-0.
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
Viper says on 30/Jan/07
He does look 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
Glenn says on 28/Mar/06
Its also possible I havnt noticed you putting them up because of this damn cell.I havnt been on a computer in a week.sorry.thanks!
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
Glenn says on 28/Mar/06
Really? seemed more 6-4. Rob- are you still putting up more pics? or certain ones you arnt using? thanks!

[Editor Rob: I've put up most that you've sent, maybe 3 or 4 ones I haven't, like that gza guy and couple more...it could be possible you had sent a batch once and it never went through...]
J. says on 28/Mar/06
Teller, is supposedly, 5'9".
