Hi Rob, Is Billy Gardell worth adding. I noticed he was measured on a Mike and Molly episode and it stated him as 5ft11 and that could be accurate.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 9/Dec/20
That IS cool! At least she won't need to jump up and down every time she talks to him!

@ Sandy Cowell - Ha ha! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’ve given at least one celeb their 25th comment tonight so I’m not too wound up, this may end up the 25th comment too after Rob has done a bit of trimming!

It’s cool that her husband is 5’6”!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 6/Dec/20
I thought Melissa was an inch less, but I see I've already talked about that nearly 4 years ago. πŸ™„

Instead, I'm going to wind young Nik up by giving Melissa her 25th comment. It looks as though there's been a bit of a trim round, Nik, as happens from time to time!

5ft2 πŸ˜„πŸ‘πŸ’

The average guess justifies her claim and so does Rob’s vote too! I’m delighted to offer Melissa her 25th comment!

Billy gardell is listed 5 feet 11 everywhere i seen guessed him that range on mike and molly so maybe that episode was accurate have not seen that episode rhonda only seen the first few series of that show
Faza said on 14/Nov/17
Rob would you consider putting billy gardell up thought he might be a 5ft11 guy and rhonda mentioned he was that height on the show wonder on reno wilson who played carl on mike + molly he looks taller than gardell so he could be a 6 footer
Editor Rob
not so familiar with him yet.
Rhonda said on 5/Jun/17
she is 5ft2, Billy Gardell is 5ft11, he was measured on S5E8 Mike and Molly at the doctors on the show, he thought he was 6ft since 17 it says. i know it is a show but probably accurate.

Is Billy Gardell worth a page?

I think he looks 5'10- 5'11 range.

Reno Wilson could look close to 6'0 also
Sandy Cowell said on 19/Dec/16
I really thought she was 5ft1! I've heard that more than once.
She was on the Ellen de Generes show a while back, getting on well with the fellow comedienne, but as I took it quite for granted that she's 5ft1, I didn't think to compare her with Ellen! Let's just say there was a noticeable height difference between the two.

I feell like she is much shorter as in under 5ft

again,i didnt see scott.i saw the other guys.maybe its my blackberry type phone that doesnt show me all the pics.
Anonymous said on 26/Feb/08
I'm mean the picture I'm showing below that Scott Ian looks more than half inch taller than Sully Erna who is 5'5. So I would say 5'6.5-5'7, but it's hard tell because he standing closer to the camera than the rest of the people in the picture.
glenn said on 25/Feb/08
i dont understand what your trying to show me?i didnt see scott ian.scott claimed 5-7 once.but he is 5-6 tops.sometimes looking smaller.
Anonymous said on 24/Feb/08
hey glenn take a look at this, I know this picture is kind of awkward though, I think might be closer to 5'7, I think 5'6-5'6.5 is the real height correct me if I'm wrong, cuz sully erna is 5'5, vinnie paul is like 5'9-5'10, ace frehley is like 6'0-6'1. and Scott is taller than sully by alittle bit, it's hard to tell, he standing to close to the camera lol.

I had the chance to meet Scott on 2 occasions at guitar shows(played guitar w/ him the 2nd time). The 5'5.5" is accurate. Awesome dude to hang with
Mike said on 27/Oct/07
I walked by him in Detroit Metro Airport earlier this year. He is compact and surprisingly muscular. 5'6 with shoes.
Lady Vertebrae said on 12/Jun/07
Yeah, 5'5" is right. That's how tall I am and we were the same height when I met him.
Anonymous said on 28/Sep/06
Met John Bush, Frank Bello, Rob Caggiano and Benante backstage at a gig at Wembley Arena a few years ago. They're all in the 5'5 -5'7 range. Dont know about Scott Ian though but on stage Bello looked like a basketball player compared to the rest.
D. Ray Morton said on 8/May/06
That's a pretty telling photo. He looks about 5'5" (Spitz must be 5-Nuthin'). No way in hell he's 5'7", unless Glenn is levitating.
Glenn said on 8/May/06
5-6 tops.5-5 more like it.look at photo.
shawn said on 8/May/06
saw scott in Palm Springs. I'm 5'7, he was the same height.
Mr. R said on 28/Jan/06
Saw him At LA airport. This is pretty accurate.
Danimal said on 22/Jan/06
5'5 1/2"-5'6" next to Glenn.
