Yeah I can’t see Hasan under 6’2. 6’4 in those boots (and probably where that claim came from)

Hasan with 6'0-6'1 xQc, barefoot vs with footwear: Click Here
Barefoot, they look very close in height, even with xQc slouching a little. However, as you can see Hasan often wears these elevator boots which give him a few extra inches. He's not as tall as he appears in most photos.
A strong 6'2 seems fair for Hasan.

Hasan seems like he’s in the 6’2”-6’2.5 range.

Yeah Hasan next to Cenk looks 6'1.5, 6'2" at most. Just LOL at the 6'4" claim.

It's weird he isn't even above 5'9 but his nephew Hasan is comfortably over 6'1 (not sure if he's the 6'3 he's listed on some sites, probably 6'2). Wonder how tall his siblings are.

The Hasan Piker guy only looks 5-5.5 inches taller than Cenk. I’d be super surprised if he’s anything over 6’2. Click Here

@ vastlybetter566 - oh there is such a thing as liberal media. It's just that there is also such a thing as the conservative media bubble too! So many people in whichever echo chamber they prefer these days.
Cenk is listed reasonably, he tries to look tall in photos.

I shook Cenk's hand after a Bernie Rally in California in 2016. I stand at 5'7 1/3 and he looked 5'6 or 5'7 at best. Maybe I'm wrong but 5'9 seems way off.

Yeah I agree about including Hasan, he's supposedly 6'3. But his height kinda varies between shots, is like he was being recorded from a perspective that makes him look taller but he's defo quite taller than average nonetheless.

Rob, would you consider adding Cenk's nephew Hasan Piker to the site? His popularity is growing and his height is interesting.
Some leftist or liberals would look good in the "Political Commentators" category. The overwhelming majority of commentators there seem to be on the right. So much for the claim of the liberal media.

Lmao I always thought this guy was like 6’0 range because of the proportions of his head and broad shoulders, and he’s sitting 99 percent of the time so you don’t see him a lot next to other people. Lol but only a 5’8 or a weak 5’9, that’s pretty funny he is only that tall since that’s literally my height. To be fair it’s still a normal average height but when all this time I thought he was some big dude that makes it hilarious.

Rob he is at least ~2 inches taller than Joe Rogan. I'd give him the 174 and take Rogan down to 169. He also kinda dwarves Ben shaprio who didn't look much smaller than maher. So I think he is 5'9 comfortably in the morning

I could also see an argument for only 6" between the two I guess.

Rob, they have a few photos with Cenk near his taller nephew in this album: Click Here
Do you have a height estimate of the Nephew? Personally I was thinking maybe he looks about 6.5" taller than Cenk.

Editor RobI wouldn't have guessed him as tall as 6ft 5, 6ft 3-4 could be possible.

He's got his eye line raised more and is holding better posture in the picture with Shapiro. He's taller than Ben, but the absolute most the difference could be is 1.5" imo. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if it was less than that.

@Rob: Are you convinced he’s nearly an inch below 5’9? I’d at least put him at 174 cm personally. He’s a guy who can look 175 cm with good posture.

Editor RobI wouldn't exactly rule 5ft 8.5 out...he's a guy who I think is a bit aware of height and likes to look as tall as he can.

I think he is taller. He might be 5'9. He looked 5'9 minimum with Al Gore

Reminds me a bit of my dad. He also has a heavy, stocky frame, and usually has pretty poor posture. He's 178-9 when standing straight but due to his posture usually looks 176 or so.

He has to be 5'9" otherwise Joe Rogan is sub 5'6"
Also he definitely looks taller than Alex Jones in this video: Click Here

Ben Shapiro 5'9 claim appears more credible here.
More credible than what? He's noticeably shorter than a guy who Rob thinks is a strong 5'8". Everyone can look bigger or smaller than they actually are, depending on the circumstances.

Actually, watch the video of his confrontation with Alex Jones at the RNC....I don't see any chance in hell of Uygur being shorter than Jones. Rob?

Editor Rob they seemed reasonably close, but I'd have said Jones is the taller of the 2 if measured.

Editor Rob: sitting behind his desk, he has a big personality, but is pretty much average height.
I noticed, at times Cenk wants to look taller in photos and raises his eyelevel up a bit.
"raises his eyelevel"
What do you mean, Rob?

Editor Rob it's what folk do a lot who subconsciously want to be taller, just raise eyes up a bit.

I'm kind of shocked by this. I always saw him as a strong 5'9". I remember him looking only a couple inches shorter than Al Gore, but evidently he's actually below average. That second pic demolishes Ben Shapiro's claims that he's 5'9" (not that his fanatics care, they'll still claim Shapiro "rekt" the stadiometer).

In the photo you can clearly see he's wearing some kind of cowboy boot footwear, likely with a massive close to 2 inch heel. And also raises his eyes up to appear taller in photos like Rob says.
I think 5'8" for him and 5'7" for Shapiro (who probably has similar footwear). If Cenk wasn't trying to look taller by tilting his head back their eyes would be 1" apart in height, which for guys close in height a better way to judge than trying to look at the top of people's hair covered heads.

I know Cenk is in boots in that picture w/ Shaq, but if Brooke Shields is wearing heels I think Cenk should get the 5'8.75"
Click Here
On a side note, I'd say it's safe to wager his wife is comfortably under five feet tall...no, Rob? Might be even less than of his weight, too!

Editor Rob Brooke at times can look 5ft 10-11, although you could argue Cenk at times isn't far off what he says, a kind of weak 5ft 9 range.

Yeah that's what I also thought for him, decent 5'8", maybe near 5'9" morning kind of guy, looks around youre height Rob.
