"There's always going to be someone out there... who doesn't believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you're not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing."
~ Jimmy Fallon
Comedian, actor, television host, singer, writer, and many other things, James Thomas Fallon or simply Jimmy Fallon is perhaps best known for hosting nervously the late-night talk show -- The Tonight Show and before that, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
About Jimmy Fallon's Real Height
Where height is concerned, IMDB lists the great Jimmy Fallon at an equally great six feet of height (this perhaps stems from the man's own claim). But as we pride ourselves to be something of a height detective, we couldn't help investigating his height further.
After carefully looking at Mr. Fallon and comparing his height to that of Conor McGregor (5'8½"), Gisele Bundchen (5'10"), Brad Pitt (5'11"), and some more such interesting people, we have to admit that Mr. Fallon looks like he belongs in the elite six feet neighborhood -- but on the southern side of it.
Another interesting thing about Jimmy is that he is also the height twin of another Jimmy - Jimmy Kimmel, who as it would happen, also happens to be a talk show host -- but it could be that and they are the same person with a beard and without it...
