Hey Rob I tried out for american idol in 2008 in orlando and I saw Seacrest in person. I tell you no lie I'm 5'8.5 and I clearly had at least 2 inches on seacrest!We both had sneakers on. I walked only a few feet away from him!

That wouldn't suprise me too much I still don't think he's more than 5'7".
Chip says on 20/Jul/10
At 5'7.5", I am just about the exact same as Ryan. His listed height here of 172cm is probably pretty accurate.

Kris Allen is not more than 2" shorter than Ryan, although he's probably more than one inch shorter.
the shredder says on 3/Jul/10
Wow that seems low for Kris Allen , that would put Adam Lambert at 5'11 and Danny Gokey at like 5'7 .
mousie says on 2/Jul/10
the shredder, kinda hard to believe but Kris Allen might be under 5'5, if Seacrest is only 5'7.
the shredder says on 30/Jun/10
Brad , If you think he is 5'7 , then how tall do you think Kris Allen is ?
Brad says on 30/Jun/10
2" taller than a 5' 5" Regis Philbin a few days ago
Mathew says on 29/Jun/10
Ryan is both 5'7" flat and dead on about Simon being a lift wearer.
Theduder600 says on 26/Jun/10
I thought this man was very much hollering taller than 5'7.75. That's really weird, considering he is a whole head taller than Pete wentz, and HE is only 5'6.5, I think, so no sense is what that makes. Anyway, there is a man who is one of the best body builders in the whole darn world, is only 6'4.5.
this person says on 20/Jun/10
there is no way in hell that ryan is 5'9", adam lambert's entire head was above ryan and he's only 6'1" ryan would be 5'6" at the tallest
Mathew says on 12/Jun/10
Casey James at 6'3" is believable. He could also be 6'2". No way is he 6'4" +.
Rebecca says on 10/Jun/10
ha! well there are a few guys that are pretty small. Like Charles Manson - he is 5'2". LOL. I am 5'2" and knew a man who was just 5'1" or so, and was married to my friend who is 5'9.5" !!! I think Lee D is about 5'7"...could be 5'6" tho. His legs are so short but torso could be long.
the shredder says on 10/Jun/10
Yea , 6'3 for Casey James is fair , those that were saying 6'0 were just trying to match there 5'6.5 or shorter dream height for Ryan Seacrest ! As for Lee De Wize he looks 5'7 IMO and I remember Somebody going as far to say that the short est guy was like 5'0 ? Really what a joke , yea like 5'4 or so , but not 5'0 , joke !
Rebecca says on 10/Jun/10
Since Casey James has been off the show he was asked by an interviewer and he said "just over 6'3". His brother said the same thing in a completely different interview at the beginning of the season, and separate from Casey. They seem like honest people; I do believe he is 6'3".

He is around 5'8 , but no more then 5'8 imo , Like I said If he is 5'7 or under like most folk think then Kris Allen is not even 5'5 and Adam Lamert is 5'11 ?
Anonymous says on 9/Jun/10
People kept saying that he's 5'6. Personally,I think he is around 5'8.
Rex says on 31/May/10
He came into my work today and I was surprised I was taller than him. I'm probably about 5'8.5"/5'9" in my shoes; I'd say -- at best -- he's about 5'7.5"
the shredder says on 29/May/10
Lee is taller then Kris Allen , Shorter then Ryan and Same height as Ellen , he is 5'7 .
Mathew says on 27/May/10
Ryan looks pretty short in that video by annonymous (may 23). He just strikes me as a shorter man than 5'9" or even 5'8". Casey James is probably 6'2" and the cowboy boots can give a 6'3" impression at times. And yes, this Lee fellow is surely a bit taller than 5'6".
J-Dog says on 26/May/10
You guys have to factor in that Casey James is usually if not always wearing Cowboy Boots as well.
the shredder says on 25/May/10
That guy Casey is a good 6'2 - 6'3 , Lee Dewezy ( whatever ) is the same height as ryan or taller and some think he is 5'6 , BS !
Jeremy James says on 24/May/10
Someone said that Casey isn't 6'4" because he had his shoes in the mug-shot. Most mug shots are taken without your shoes on...unfortunately I am aware of this fact for a brief run-in with the law. With that angle, Casey James is probably around 6'3".

Standing as straight as possible and dwarfed by 6'2 Russell Brand and 5'7 Katy Perry, presumably in heels.
Jed says on 21/May/10
This listing is about right. I'd give him a weak 5'8.
the shredder says on 20/May/10
if Ryan Seacrest is 5'7 then Kris allen is 5'5 tops !
the shredder says on 19/May/10
Rob , you can 5'6 him , just think it would be cool if you add him !
Mathew says on 18/May/10
Showed some character in his 5'8" claim, never the less I think he's 5'7". And yes, Simon wears lifts.
Mathew says on 18/May/10
Bridget says on 14/May/10
If you look at Casey's mugshot (LINK: Click Here) from back in '01, you can clearly see that he's about 6'4". :)

You're kidding me, right? Considering the angle and the fact that he's probably in shoes he's 6'1" - 6'2".
the shredder says on 17/May/10
Rob , Ryan is 5'8 or under , I think 5'5.75 would be perfect for Kris Allen ?

[Editor Rob: well near 5ft 6]
mousie says on 17/May/10
5'8 straight up!
B-Lab says on 17/May/10
Seacrest and Chad Ochocinco (who is exactly 6 feet 1 inches tall according to the nfl combine measurements)

I'd say he looks a solid 4.5-5 inches shorters
Mathew says on 16/May/10
It's strange that Bon Jovi was 2" taller than Ryan because after seeing photos of Bon Jovi with 6'5" NFL QB Kerry Collins I remember thinking Bon Jovi looked more like the height Ryan is listed at on this page.
ACG says on 15/May/10
I 100% believe his 5'8" claim.
Brad says on 15/May/10
Bon Jovi is 5' 9", subtract the 2" and you get 5' 7". His admission of 5' 9" is a joke if Jon owns him by the duece.
the shredder says on 14/May/10
That would be great if you added atleast 1 of them , there pages would be interesting to see other comments views !
the shredder says on 14/May/10
Rob , I must add , do you think these are good guesses coming for me ?

Adam Lambert 6'0

Kris Allen 5'5.75

Danny Gokey 5'8

[Editor Rob: I think they are pretty close, if I added kris it would be either that or 5-6.]
the shredder says on 14/May/10
Rob , This is a good pic of Ryan Seacrest and Adam Lambert , both on the same ground and you can see there footwear , If Ryan is as listed then what do you think Adam is roughly ? He looks 5 inches taller but has bigger footwear , my guess is 6'0 - 6'0.5 , not the 6'1 listing on internet ?

Click Here

[Editor Rob: yeah he has a good 1/2 inch extra shoe, maybe he's not really 6ft 1]
the shredder says on 14/May/10
Casey looks 6'3 - 6'4 in that mugshot , so barefoot he would be about 6'2 to 6'3 , btw this season is not that great IMO , we need another Adam Lambert !
Bridget says on 14/May/10
If you look at Casey's mugshot (LINK: Click Here) from back in '01, you can clearly see that he's about 6'4". :)
RisingForce says on 13/May/10
Even though Foxx claims he's around 5'9", he always looks a bit taller than that for some reason.
the shredder says on 13/May/10
He did look 5'7 next to Jamie Fox last night !
C says on 13/May/10
Just saw 5'9" Bon Jovi with Seacrest on Idol. It looked to me he had at least 2" on Ryan, if not more. I was really shocked to see Bon Jovi listed at 5'9"...just about everything was bigger on him that Seacrest. It shows Seacrest makes average guys look more than average.

I KNOW better than you says on 5/May/10
There's some stupid people on here. Casey James is only 6'. 6'4" my ass. He's the same height as Michael Lynche..who's also 6' I found out. And an inch shorter than Harry Connick Jr. at 6'1" So, of course I know I'm right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Casey James was being mentored by Harry Connick Jr, Casey looked almost 2 inches taller. And tonight Casey,and Mike(who shold have been gone weeks ago), were doing a duet, and both were standing straight and next to eachother, and Casey was easily atleast 2 inches taller.
Brad says on 11/May/10
5' 7", look at him with Bieber.
the shredder says on 11/May/10
Rob , do you think Gokey ( Glasses ) is 5'8 flat are a little over , he is a tad taller then Ryan Seacrest but shorter then Jamie Fox ?

[Editor Rob: I don't know, sometimes from just clips of these idol shows the camera or floor might be to different people's advantages]
Mathew says on 9/May/10
5'7" flat it is IMO. I wouldn't be suprised if Cowell and Randy Jackson were 172 guys and Ryan was 169 - 170.
RisingForce says on 9/May/10
I don't know of any dress shoe that adds just 0.75". I'd say that if he really is 5'8.75" in shoes then he'd be 5'7.5"/5'7.75".
the shredder says on 9/May/10
He went from claiming 5'9 to only claiming 5'8 and adding that he is 5'8 3/4 in shoes , Why would he admit his exact height in shoes but not his exact height barefoot ? IMO he is a flat 5'8 , and after looking at him next to the 3 guys last season here is my guess

Kris Allen - a little under 5'6

Adam Lambert - 6'0.5

Danny Gokey - about 5'8

Also as for Casey James ( who is not that good imo )might not be 6'4 , but this 6'0 is crap and is just being bias so it can fit the 5'6 fiction world of Ryan Seacrest ! Please Casey James is like 6'2 or 6'3 easily !
Bandet says on 8/May/10
You know better than no one......Casey James is way over 6ft....Funny, you're calling others stupid/
RisingForce says on 7/May/10
If Seacrest is downgraded to 5'7" flat then Simon Cowell certainly has to be downgraded. Simon wears lifts and often doesn't look that much taller Seacrest. In fact, sometimes, it's hard to see a difference.
I KNOW better than you says on 5/May/10
There's some stupid people on here. Casey James is only 6'. 6'4" my ass. He's the same height as Michael Lynche..who's also 6' I found out. And an inch shorter than Harry Connick Jr. at 6'1" So, of course I know I'm right.

LOL Rob , Danny Gokey ( glasses guy ) called Ryan Seacrest Short ! He is the SAME height , lol does Gokey really think he is 5'10 ?
Albert says on 2/May/10
Considering this picture, if Justin Bieber really is 5'3" as listed, then Ryan is no taller than 5'7"

Banderas is 5'8.5"-5'9" and he often wears big lifts.
Anonymous says on 30/Apr/10
saw him on idol with cameron diaz and antonios bandera. i thought antonio was around 5'8, but he had an easy two inches on seacrest. Diaz topped them all in heels but a fair wee bit. i was also trying to figure out shakiras height based on how she looked next to ryan but until i can figure out his height, I can't guess. argggg!
Wil says on 30/Apr/10
Ryan Seacrest is 5'6 am sure of it. with lifts he's 5'7 to 5'8. However,
Lee Dewyze is 5'7
Casey James is 6'2.5
Aaron Kelly is 5'4
Tim Urban is not as short as 5'6. I would give him a 5'8 to 5'10.
I'm pretty sure that the heights i listed fro them are correct.
the shredder says on 27/Apr/10
Rob , you still don't have Kris Allen added ! btw , how tall do you think Adam Lambert is ? I have seen 6'1 listings !

[Editor Rob: maybe one day, this lamber fellow does look reasonably tall, although he looks the kind of character who wears bigger sized footwear.]
tattoo says on 26/Apr/10
Having stood right next to him, and taking into account what shoes we both were wearing, I would bet money that he is between 5'7.75 and 5'8.50.
tattoo says on 26/Apr/10
I am 5'8" and I stood right next to Seacrest. I was wearing cowboy boots and he was wearing sneakers. I was maybe an inch taller. If I had been wearing sneakers we would have been about the same or maybe he would have been slightly taller.
MD says on 25/Apr/10
Well, because he's not, 6 foot guy. If you believe this near-5'8" claim, you're as crazy as the few who still believe it.
6 foot guy says on 24/Apr/10
Really i don't see why people think of ryan as "short" being that he is only 1.25 inches below average.
fearthenoodle says on 22/Apr/10
Bieber doesnt look 5'2. He looks 5'0 with Usher. Usher has 8 inches on him in one of Beiber's videos.

Bieber is 5'0. Even 5'2 girls are taller than him. And I cant imagine being 16 and having 5'2 girls looking down at you.
Anonymous says on 22/Apr/10
So how tall is casey james if not 6'4" because I agree with that poster unless maybe 6'5" or so

fhl says on 22/Apr/10
didn't notice how short he was till this season. his head and body look so small compared to the contestants. he must weigh about 130 lbs.
the shredder says on 22/Apr/10
MD , you have got to be the most closed minded person on this site ... telling people to stop saying there " OPINION " just because it is not the same as yours ? You need help man ! you are so bias !

Brad , If he is weak 5'7 then what do you think about Adam Lambert and Kris Allen ?
Big T says on 22/Apr/10
Well that's the darndest thing...Seacrest looks about 3 inches taller than Bieber, while Usher and Ludacris look about 7 or 8 inches taller in their music videos- yet you'd imagine Usher, Ludacris and Seacrest are all similar height

Perhaps Bieber has started a belated growth spurt
MD says on 21/Apr/10
lol!

First off, Casey James isn't 6'4". Secondly, shredder, you can stop already. Everything is pointing to him being shorter than listed, not even a tiny bit taller. You've been on this for monthsm and you can give it up.
jd says on 21/Apr/10
I cant believe he's 5'8... he looks like 5'3 tops, im sure he suffers from sms...short mans syndrome.

Brad- Bieber 5'2"?!?! Is that a typo or are you serious?

I'm surprise Ryan has claimed 5'8", he always seems taller.
RisingForce says on 21/Apr/10
Who the hell is this Justin Bieber and why is he so popular?
the shredder says on 21/Apr/10
Rob , I think he really is a flat 5'8 , why would he be honest about being 5'8 and 3/4 in shoes after dropping a 5'9 claim , yet not be honest about being 5'7.75 if that was his real height ? This guy is a flat 5'8 , 5'7 is just downgrading !
Ccd says on 20/Apr/10
Bieber is apparently 5'5 (maybe a half) which Ryan has a good 1 and a half to 2 inches on. Also bieber is still growing so he isn't a great example. I'd say 5'7 to 5'7 and a half most.
Brad says on 20/Apr/10
Weak 5' 7" with a 5' 2" heavy custom sneaker Bieber. His 5' 9" claim standing next to Bieber is hilarious.
MD says on 20/Apr/10
Admittedly not the best pictures (Seacrest is standing in front of Bieber, and closer to camera), but something for partial reference with Justin Bieber:

strength and being tall do go hand in hand, being short and not getting shot also go hand in hand
Anonymous says on 19/Apr/10
Funny that some people rip on short guys. If you consider alot of Marines happen to be between 5'2" and 5'9" for what ever reason. These guys could rip apart men well over their own heights. Keep that in mind next time you think strength and being tall go hand in hand.
RisingForce says on 19/Apr/10
Interesting that he claimed 5'8" and it's funny that he called Simon out on his lifts. I still think he's more like 5'7".
the shredder says on 18/Apr/10
Rob , do you think he is being for real about 5'8 ? I always thought 5'9 was too much , but honestly 5'8 flat seems better then people thinking under 5'7 !

Also if he is 5'8 and 3/4 in shoes then Kris Allen is not even 5'7 in shoes !

BTW I wonder what Judge he was talking about , lol ! GEE , Simon ?

[Editor Rob: the 5ft 5 thing is a joke. Any reasonable argument from 5ft 7 flat to his real claim of 5ft 8 is fair.]
MD says on 17/Apr/10
Tim Urban is 5'9"...on Mars and/or in your head.
Bandet says on 17/Apr/10
Tim Urban is 5ft9, by the way, Seacrest not much smaller... Where did all this come from.... It seems now, if you're a celeb and you get a pic taken once with someone tall, then you're a midget... Sign of the times, so it is. US and UK are about as bad as each other in this idiotic superficial landscape, cos in Europe there's a bit more wisdom going around. I'm British by the way....
Phil says on 17/Apr/10
Casey had a camera advantage next to Adam. They're probably just an inch apart.
jane says on 16/Apr/10
he is about the same height as giuliana rancic she never uses heels around him
the shredder says on 15/Apr/10
I can see 5'7 if he is a lift wearer , btw , that Casey guy is HUGE , he made Adam Lambert look short !
jtm says on 14/Apr/10
man how did this guy become famous? all i hear about is how short he is. like when i was watching this episode of tmz, they were talking about who was taller him or harvey and harvey said they were both the same height and yahoo omg says he is my height.i mean is that all he is known for.
Bandet says on 14/Apr/10
gokat..... that's true enough! maybe people think he's so small cos his face does look kinda small.... Not that it matters. No. Not at all. Not at all.
gokat says on 14/Apr/10
Regardless of his height - the man looks tiny, not just in stature, but also dimension. His head looks tiny compared to others he stands next to - at least when I see him on Idol - it's weird - it's like he's miniature!
Bandet says on 13/Apr/10
Did you see him with David Archuleta. Kind of proves my point. You all get fixated when you see him with someone tall and then just ignore seeing him with someone regular. Ignore the lift issue it's irrelevant, he has looked the same height since he started.
the shredder says on 12/Apr/10
Weak 5'7 would make Kris Allen 5'4.5 , Danny Gokey 5'7 and Adam Lambert 5'11.5 , does not add up !
Bandet says on 11/Apr/10
Rob..... Seacrest is the prefect example of a not very short guy, being accused of being a very short guy, and this is based on people seeing him with tall females on American Idol, not even thinking about the lift of not life issue, because he would always be wearing the lifts. He really isn't that short, Stallone isn't that short.... but it appears now if you're a celeb unless you're over six foot, people's perceptions of you are completely skewed. Like Cruise, there isn't one pic of him that shows him with someone who is short and being as short as them.
Brad says on 9/Apr/10
Weak 5 feet 7. His 5' 9" figure is in the long list of lies like Wahlberg, Stallone,Eva, etc.. People aren't dumb.
jason says on 9/Apr/10
Hey guys please do don't make any assumption without a realiable resource. I saw on TV that reveal the true about Celeb height and Ryan Seacrest is 5'5 without shoes. Im not just guessing but I saw it on a TV show.

hahahhaha he says he is 5'9" but he is not it says he is 5ft 7.75!!!!!!! LOL!!!

I'm 5"8, and I think thats pretty tall. although, last year on idol, it was funny how short he was next to ♥Adam Lambert♥
the shredder says on 6/Apr/10
Rob , so are you going to add him at 5'6 ?

[Editor Rob: I might, I would look at some more stuff first]
Saskia says on 4/Apr/10
If you saw the latest Idol-Show, you know that he weight only 95 pounds. So in fakt of these informations, he can´t be over 5´5.
nyc says on 4/Apr/10
I believe he is 5'9"... in shoes. So about 5'8" or little under. The given 5'7.75" could be spot on. I agree that 5'5" and 5'6" is kind of bogus. People at that height get towered over by everyone.
Anna says on 3/Apr/10
I met Ryan Seacrest today at the Darius Rucker/Daughtry concert and he's my height or just a tad taller and I'm 5'8".
MD says on 2/Apr/10
Because, he's 5'8" in lifts and heels. I wish people would stop being so stupid.
Bill says on 2/Apr/10
I work with Seacrest. I'm 5'9, IF even that. I wear athletic sneakers to work. Whenever i walk by Ryan he's about 1.5-2 inches shorter than me. I also am positive he has some type of height enhancement in his shoes so thus making him even SHORTER.
John Shin says on 2/Apr/10
Ryan Seacrest isn't even that short, what's up with people endlessly ragging on him about that? 5'8 isn't that short. All this 5'5, 5'6 estimation is bogus.
Bradi says on 1/Apr/10
If he were 5'8'' like this listing says then people wouldn't call him hobbit. 5'8'' is pretty normal and only an inch below average.

He is about an inch taller than Ellen in some mysterious shoes. 5'6'' is his height 5'7'' being the max morning height
j says on 1/Apr/10
My best guess would be that he is 5'7" barefoot, and probably around 5'9" in shoes/lifts. He has good proportions but his build just looks like a 5'7" build to me. I'm 5'8" with 5'7" and 5'6" friends so I'm familiar with the heights.
Phil says on 1/Apr/10
On tonight's episode of Idol, Usher stood next to Seacrest and appeared about 2-2.25 inches taller, and I hear Usher wears lifts. If someone can post a pic of Usher and Ryan together, maybe Rob could consider downgrading Ryan's height.

As for Big Mike's height, I think he is closer to 6'0.5".

@lynn: 5'8" is a pretty good height imo.
the shredder says on 31/Mar/10
Rob , if you add him will it be 5'6 , 5'6.5 ? I don't see 5'7 for him , but I also don't see 5'5 that people think ?

[Editor Rob: well yeah not 5ft 7 but as low as 5ft 5, I'm not sure he's that short, somewhere near 5ft 6 mayeb]

short is as short does. my father was 5'8" he seemed like a tall man, even when i became an adult daughter, at 5'6"
the shredder says on 28/Mar/10
Rob , how come you have not added Kris Allen ? He even claimed 5'7 , which is a joke !

[Editor Rob: I haven't really looked at him]
Shaun says on 27/Mar/10
You know. If you actually see Crest lext to 5'6" women like Hatcher and Jasmine Waltz he looks easily 5'8". Its quite surprising actually that he isn't a short as he sometimes looks (surprised even me who used to think he was 5'6.5") I think he is a possible 5'8". 5'7.5" at very lowest. This about right.
Shaun says on 27/Mar/10
Seacrest had around 2 inches on 5'6" Hatcher, both in flats. I think he is the same height as Tom Cruise 5'7.5". Both claim 5'9". Sure it is easy to get carried away. There is something irritating about the guy I agree. But 5'5" or 5'6" is just silly. Look at the Hatcher pictures. They rule out 5'6" as Hatcher actually comes across as taller than she is actually listed at and Crest was obviously taller than her.
the shredder says on 27/Mar/10
Gokey is listed as 5'10 on sites , I think he should be added here as 5'8 !

He has a good posture and nice proportions, that makes him look like 5'9 - 5'10, but flat footed, I think he is barely 5'7 flatfooted.
Anonymous says on 24/Mar/10
I just saw him next to 5'4" Molly Cyrus and he is absolutely no more than 2 inches taller than her-----and she didn't have heels on. He's a whimp/shrimp!
Dylan says on 24/Mar/10
Annonymous - Seacrest is not skinny, in fact he was quite podgy as a kid if you look at his photos. He is perfectly proportioned which gives him a taller appearance when he is standing alone, it is only when he is photographed next to people that you realise he is not very tall. When seen alone on television, I could quite easily assume he was 5'10" it is only seeing him besides other people that I have come to the conclusion that he is only around 5'7"

Seacrest looks really short, like under 5'8....5'8 MAX maybe it's cuz he's pretty skinny too...guy's a shrimp.
Dylan says on 18/Mar/10
MD - I agree with you about Mike, I think because he is very stocky his height can be deceiving. I still cannot accept that Seacrest is anything over 5'7" and I am actually watching American Idol wishing I could think of him as taller.
Bandet says on 18/Mar/10
To me Seacrest is easily 5ft8. People really can't see height properly when they look at celebs. He's taller than a lot fo the guys this series cos they're short-ish, but they're not that short. Someone saying Aaron is 5ft is an absolute fool. WHat none of you seem to get is the celeb factor in judging height and also what 5ft9 actually looks like on screen and more so, in person. I have heard more peopel get height wrong when they see a celeb in person than on screen.
Rebecca says on 18/Mar/10
Casey had a DWI when he was a teenager and there's a mug shot circulating around - I don't know if it's real, but if so, it shows him in front of a height chart at 6'4".
He does look VERY tall to me.
MD says on 18/Mar/10
6'2" for Casey is actually kind of generous, though, he is definitely over 6'0".

BTW, I'd completely forgotten about Mike Lynch. What's weird is that during his audition, he literally looked an inch or two taller than Ryan, but he was in some really flat shoes during the audition if I remember correctly. The other night, though, he was noticeably taller than Ryan. I wonder if all of this comes down to shoes? I also wonder if Mike's incredibly wide build is one of those rare cases in which it actually makes you look shorter than you really are? I honestly can't peg Mike.

That said, Seacrest is not 5'8" barefoot, the shredder, so you can stop spamming this page with that opinion, already.
Me says on 17/Mar/10
I think a lot of you people judging his height are forgetting to take his lifts into consideration.
the shredder says on 17/Mar/10
Big Mike is about 3.5 inches taller , If he is 6'0.75 then Ryan Seacrest is 5'9 , Big Mike is more like 5'11.75 ! I think Ryan Seacrest is 5'8 , he is taller then Ellen !
Anonymous says on 16/Mar/10
I thought Casey James was a lot taller but I guess I was wrong!
Phil says on 14/Mar/10
Here is my take on the guys in the Top 12:

Casey James looks about 6'2" and there's also Mike Lynche who is around 6'0.75".

Then the next four are all shorter than Seacrest - in other words, they're all shorter than 5'7". I'd say Lee DeWyze is about 5'6.25"-5'6.5", Tim Urban: 5'6", Andrew Garcia: 5'4.5", and Aaron Kelly is around 5'3". I noticed Aaron wearing shoes with a slight heel this past week, so his height could be debatable and might actually be lower.

My observations are based on the assumption that Seacrest is 5'7".

Looking at all 12 of this season's male contestants: Ryan is shorter than six of them and taller than six of them.
Dylan says on 13/Mar/10
Big Buddy - This is a height site not a character site, so everyone is entitled to debate how tall Ryan Seacrest or anyone else is. No one said he wasn't cool or intelligent we are just saying his 5'9" claims are alot of nonsense, so either his claims are his idea of a joke, which I have said all along or else if they are serious, then honesty about his height is not one of his qualities and that is all that matters on a height site.
MD says on 12/Mar/10
Anonymous,

Yep, save for Casey James, I there is not another guy remaining on the show over 5'9". This year's cast of guys has been unusually short with a few exceptions. The one 17-year-old guy is towered by Seacrest, which is really weird to see; he can't be much over 5'0".
MD says on 12/Mar/10
Big Buddy, just about every observation you made in your last post is just wrong or a sign of someone imperceptive. I mean, just to begin with, the guy's last name is real, and it doesn't take more than a minute of research to find out. You're so dense. The 120 lbs is SO ridiculous. He's a small guy, but he's not frail and has stated time and time again his weight, and how overweight he was as a kid. He's regularly between 140 and 160 lbs.
Big Buddy says on 11/Mar/10
Anyone who thinks they can gauge height by anything they see on TV, in pictures or movies is a fool. It's Hollywood, Duh! It's all about deception. I went to college with a guy who went to school with "Seacrest" (you know that's not his real name right?). He might be 5'5" on a good day and about 120 Lbs soaking wet. But he's cool with it and has done well so why is it an issue. He's confidant and secure in who he is and his abiities and that makes him stand tall. Cowell is much more deceptive about his vertical challenges and is much more insecure about who he is physically. The Frankenstein platform boots give him about 5 extra inches. Although appearing more stout thanks to steroids, working out and possibly implants, height wise he doesn't have much on Ryan - maybe a couple of inches.
Anonymous says on 11/Mar/10
the guys on American Idol must be very short cause seacrest towered over them last night.
Mathew says on 11/Mar/10
5'6.5" - 5'7" is enough. 5'5" is too short. 5'9" is too tall. 5'7.75" is even very generous.
Bob says on 11/Mar/10
I agree with the naysayers just because of how looooong his shoes are. Gota be lifts in there
Warren Ford (Hawaii) says on 10/Mar/10
Ryan Seacrest is 5'5"-5'6". 5'7.75" is way too generous versus his real height.
justsawhim says on 9/Mar/10
i am 5' 8'' and my best friend is 5'6'', so i'm well aware of the difference between the two. ryan seacrest is definitely NOT 5'6''. it's possible that he's wearing lifts, but i walked right by him and he seemed a little taller than i am, like 5'9'' tops.
Dylan says on 6/Mar/10
Two conflicting Statements from jujubear 09 and R2, two people who have been up close to him. I will go along with R2 unless it is proven to me that everyone on American Idol including the women are 6' plus!
jujubear09 says on 5/Mar/10
I met Ryan in LA and he was gracious enough to take a picture with me! Im 5'5 and he was at least 4 or 5 inches taller than me! I would say between 5'8"-5'10"
R2 says on 4/Mar/10
Saw him close-up on the street in Manhattan. He makes a very short impression. I'd say 5'6"
Shaun says on 2/Mar/10
5'7" flat. Looks too short to be close to 5'8".
MD says on 26/Feb/10
Because at 6'3"-6'4" Joel McHale is taller than most about everyone he meets in Hollywood. Albeit, Ryan is short, but for McHale to call him a hobbit doesn't mean anything, at all.

Ryan is 5'7", tops, probably more likely in the 5'6" range barefoot.
Paka says on 25/Feb/10
Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it.
Kristen says on 25/Feb/10
I don't think he's any taller than 5'7. It wouldn't surprise me if he's 5'6 and a half.
Falkor says on 24/Feb/10
Have you ever heard Joel Mchale made fun of Ryan Seacrest?? He always calls him a Hobbit ! I wonder Why
Anonymous says on 23/Feb/10
Why is he listed as 5'7.75 on this site? This is the only height on this site that I've come across that's really bugged me. He's clearly below that height.
Dylan says on 22/Feb/10
D - No way is he as short as 5'5", 5'7" is a fair assessment in my opinion, although I have to admit, for some reason he looks taller to me in this series of American Idol than he did in previous series.
D says on 20/Feb/10
He's 5' 5". Yahoo omg says he is that tall and If you ever watch him on tv he is always standing on a small box to make him taller( or as tall as his co host/interviewe). He works in Hollywood and it is easy to make people look taller then they really are in person ( stand on boxes and only film above foot level, have women wearing flats , wearing lifts and shoes with high heels). Guy is ridiculously short.
ACG says on 18/Feb/10
Exactly, Merci. And his shoes can't be THAT tall if he's playing sports.
MD says on 17/Feb/10
Big T,

I was watching Idol, last night, and when they all go into the respective rooms to reveal the news of who did and didn't make it, it was bizarre how uniform in height most of the cast was. Ellen was the shortest, but by no more than half-and-inch, and Simon was the tallest, but only because of his special boots/lifts. Otherwise, they all appeared in the 5'7"ish range. It was really weird. It's clear that the men are short and each of the women is slightly above average.
Merci says on 16/Feb/10
Ryan Seacrest plays boccie ball with Stu Vanormer 6'3" but he doesn't seem to be more than 4 or 5 inches shorter than Stu .He does wear tall shoes though.
Big T says on 16/Feb/10
Ellen claims 5'8" and was clearly shorter than Usher, Seacrest, and even Jeremy Piven.

I think she's 5'6" and a height exaggerator, while all of those guys are at least 5'7" (I think Piven is the shortest while Seacrest and Usher are probably as listed here).

Paula Abdul is only 5'0" and you say a 5'7" man would look closer to her height than Searcrest does? What sort of nonsense is that? Seacrest is only 5'7" I don't think he is any less but definatley not taller. Rob is being generous saying he is 5'7.75" and I think he has only added the 0.75" because of Seacrest's ridiculous 5'9" claims which he never meant to be taken serious anyway.
ACG says on 14/Feb/10
A true 5'7" man looks much closer in height to Paul Abdul than Seacrest ever did.
Dylan says on 11/Feb/10
I doubt he has suddenly started growing again in his thirties, therefore if he is suddenly appearing to look taller I would think the most logical explanation is that he has started to wear lifts. To be fair to him, I don't think he ever wore them before.
Rusty says on 10/Feb/10
On American Idol last night, he looked to be about an inch taller than Ellen Degeneres. Take that as you will.
Dylan says on 8/Feb/10
Well I am sorry ACG but the footage you showed of him with Seacrest has proved to the contrary. Anyone who is dwarfed by Seacrest is no more than 5'6" maximum!
ACG says on 8/Feb/10
I'm friends with Ian on myspace and he lists himself as 5'8"....I've seen plenty of photos and footage of him to verify that claim.
Anonymous says on 7/Feb/10
How would you know Ian Benardo is 5'8"? Judging by your assessments so far, I would say you are no judge of heights whatsoever!
Dylan says on 7/Feb/10
ACG - If Seacrest and Benardo are in the same height footwear then Baenardo is NOT 5'8" and instead of digging up things like this, why don't you just watch American Idol, that is all the evidence you need. Seacrest is 5'7" maximum. The pure myth is that he is anything over that and those myths are spread by Seacrest himself and people like you who are naive enough to believe him.
ACG says on 6/Feb/10

Look at Ryan Seacrest with contestant Ian Benardo. I know Ian to be 5'8" and Ryan towers him even when slouching.

Seacrest should be upgraded, the '5'7" tops' claims are pure myth.
MD says on 5/Feb/10
RisingForce,

You're not the only one that has argued this. It's absolutely clear to me that Cowell is probably the most noted lift-wearer in showbiz, these days, and that Randy Jackson is ALWAYS in cowboy boots (literally), or dress shoes with prominent heels. They are ALL in the 5'6" to 5'8" range.

If I had to guess given all the heels and lifts between the three, Randy and Simon are obviously the tallest, though, I really couldn't tell which would be the tallest without lifts. Ryan is clearly the naturally shortest of the bunch, who I really don't believe to be more than 5'6.5" barefoot, but could tolerate a solid 5'7" listing.
Dylan says on 4/Feb/10
RisingForce - Don't know about the others but Simon Cowell wears huge lifts. You can tell by the way he is always perched forward, I sometimes think he is going to fall flat on his face. Not sure about Randy because he always seems to be seated when I see him. Another one who should be downgraded alongside Seacrest is Dermot O'Leary. I don't know why these 5'7" hosts have to claim to be 5'9"
RisingForce says on 4/Feb/10
Well if Rob downgrades Seacrest to 5'7" he also has to downgrade Randy Jackson because I just looked at a bunch of pictures and there's no way Jackson is 1.5" taller and if anything Jackson's footwear usually looks more suspicious. The same goes for Simon who always wears big heels yet he doesn't look that much taller than Ryan.

I'm not saying Ryan isn't about 5'7", I'm just saying that Randy Jackson and Cowell would have to be downgraded as well if Ryan is.
Dylan says on 3/Feb/10
ACG - On one of the American Idol shows a female contestent told Ryan Seacrest he was short and that she would never date any guys from his hometown if they were all as short as him. He asked her how tall he was and she said 5'9" to which Seacrest said, "I too am 5'9." He could barely keep a straight face when he said it and the girl thought it was hilarious. Now whether or not she could sing, was not the issue, however, she was at least 2" to 3" taller than him. His 5'9" claims are a joke and I don't think he meant anyone to take him seriously. I said before, anyone who thinks he looks 5'9" needs their eyes tested, that was my opinion. Anyone who thinks he looks 5'11" needs their head examined and that is not just my opinion it is a fact and I think any poster on here with more than half a brain would agree with me.
ACG says on 3/Feb/10
Go watch Ryan's cameo in the film "Knocked Up" and tell me he looks less than a strong 5'9".

I could buy 5'11" for him in a jiffy from that scene.
MD says on 2/Feb/10
ACG, you're so obviously a fanboy/girl. lol
Dylan says on 2/Feb/10
ACG - There is a huge difference between being able to sing in front of a panel of judges than acess someone's height. I am not underestimating Seacrest's height, he is 5'7" maximum end of story. Anyone who thinks he looks 5'9" needs their eyes tested in my opinion.
ACG says on 1/Feb/10
This guy has to be one of the most underrated guys ever in terms of height. The short rumors you hear about him are just that- rumors.

Usually the only AI contestants who make remarks about his supposed lack of height are the very same ones who are STUPID enough to think that they have even one iota of singing talent.
Dylan says on 1/Feb/10
ACG - All I can say is, you must be looking at a different Ryan Seacrest to the one I see.
ACG says on 29/Jan/10
Whether he is or not, he usually looks his 5'9" claim....sometimes even taller.

People mag listed his as 5'10" in his bio.

5'5" for Ryan is even worse than 5'8" for Stallone.
Aaron says on 27/Jan/10
I'm not sure about that Dylan. I have to respectfully disagree with you. Here's why: I'm a strong 5'10 male. I'm 5'11 in the morning and somewhere between 5'10.25 and 5'10.5 at night. I still get short comments. I'm physically fit from running, not weightlifting, so I'm not stocking by any means. It could be that my brothers are both over 6 feet (one's 6ft2 and the other is between 6ft and 6'1), and people might think I look short in comparison to them. I have good posture as well. So, I have to disagree about that 5'8 comment. Guys that are 5'8 look short to me. I see myself as average height and I think that two inches under average can be viewed as short.
M.P. says on 25/Jan/10
He's NO taller than 5'6". And he's really insecure about it.
Dylan says on 23/Jan/10
MD - I think he is about 5'7" tops, he is weel proportioned so if you saw him on his own you would not think him particularly short. I cannot understand why he is listed as 5'7.75" on here. If he were that height, which is not particularly short, people who meet him on shows like American Idol, wouldn't be constantly referring to how short he is.
MD says on 21/Jan/10
I think it's pretty clear he's not as low as 5'5". If he was, he'd look tiny even in lifts. I think it's equally clear, however, that he's not anything over 5'7", so why is the three-quarters inch still attached to him?
MD says on 20/Jan/10
Rob,

Maybe so, but don't you think it's time to list him more realistically? You know, like at the 5'7" TOPS he is?
Joe says on 19/Jan/10
Its true...yahoo omg did say ryan is 5'5 but who knows..
SomeDude says on 18/Jan/10
Aren't you going to change this 5'7 listing ?Yahoo OMG said he's only 5'5 .

The OMG website has hom listed at 5-5. Maybe not that short, but certainly not 5-9.
Nero says on 15/Jan/10
for some reason i thought he was something like 6'0 or 6'1 when i watched american idol for the first time (i got bored) i'ts really weird because now he really look like about 5'7..
AG says on 15/Jan/10
I think he's about 5'8. Not any taller than that.
elle says on 14/Jan/10
Ryan Seacrest is always several inches taller than the female judges, who are wearing heels. Also, he looks very height/weight proportionate, so I don't think it's just lifts. Besides, they show his whole frame every day on that show, feet and all. I think people would notice if a man was wearing 4-inch platform shoes, don't you?
MD says on 10/Jan/10
If he really only did come that high, he'd be MUCH more than just five inches shorter than you. This is not even to mention that it's weird for a dude to say he "came up to my nipples". She'd say that he came up to your chest. You're just a poor judge of height. He's 5'6"ish, but you only got that from the rest of us.
joewhite31 says on 10/Jan/10
MD, you're right. if they didn't include the height of hispanic americans and/or asian americans, the avarage height would be 5'10 1/4 (male). im 5'10, and i dont feel that tall. i still consider myself as an avarage guy.

I actually saw Ryan Seacrest last year in a club Tanjun in NYC he is very short. Looked like 5ft 6inch at the most. I am 5 11 and he came up to my nipples.
MD says on 9/Jan/10
I don't think the 5'5" is accurate. He can look 5'8" in his lifts, but the lowest I've ever seen him listed in 5'6", and he really does look like he could be that short, but no shorter.
Paul R says on 9/Jan/10
I happen to know first hand that Ryan Seacrest is between 5'5" and 5'9". There...case closed.
JayB says on 8/Jan/10
Does Ryan seacrest wear lifts? What if he's really 5'5" but wears lifts to bring him up to 5'7"-5'7.75".
SexxyBeast says on 8/Jan/10
On OMG, they said he was 5'5". I would've never figured he was that short. He looks about 5'7" to 5'9" on tv. I guess he wears thicked soled shoes to make himself look taller.
MD says on 7/Jan/10
Hey Rob,

Can you at least take him down to his legitimate 5'7", now? This addition of 3/4 of an inch has always been one of the more glaring errors, here.

Casey,

Average height for 20-and-30-somethings in the US is actually slightly over 5'10", at least for black and white Americans. In fact, for black Americans it's 5'10.1" and for white Americans its 5'10.4". What pulls the average down is hispanic Americans, though, even they are growing taller, though, still a good two or three inches off from blacks and whites.
jenna says on 7/Jan/10
Yeah there's this crap video that says he's 5'5" when he's actually 5'8"and a half. It's funny because if he was only 5'5" he wouldn't be taller that half the people ( chicks ) he interviews. Think for a moment next time you see him on AI he is around 5 8
Sunny says on 7/Jan/10
I read in 2 articles that was 5'7", the yahoo video says 5'5", and he says he's 5'9". I say we average and go with 5'7".
JayB says on 7/Jan/10
This video from Yahoo! says Ryan Seacrest is 5'5". Click Here

Now the new report from 411 says, Ryan Seacrest is just 5'5" and Tom Cruise is 5'7". If the report is true, then most of the comments were wrong, since they put Ryan at 5'7" . I guess he will be stand 5'7" if he is wearing a leather shoes that will add up another 2 inches.

Yes, Average height for an American Male is 5'9-5'10.. the young american male from age 20 to 30 is closer to 5'10 on average. Usually I think of the range of normal sized men as being 5'9 to 5'11 1/2. I'm 5'7 and I consider myself short (and feel shorter than the average man for sure), though not very short.
funkyfresh02 says on 6/Jan/10
Hey I just watched the 411; Sizes Exposed and it states that Ryan Seacrest is only 5'5'. O_o Oh well, it's not like I've met met Ryan Seacrest in real life so who am I to judge? :P
