"If you don't give power to the words that people throw at you to hurt you, they don't hurt you anymore. And you actually have power over those people."
~ Stephen Colbert
American comedian, political commentator, actor, satirist, and television host, Stephen Colbert (more like Kohl-Bair) is perhaps best known for hosting The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
About Stephen Colbert's Real Height
There is not much to know about Stephen Colbert's height, he is an average-sized guy (though big in the world of political commentary and satire), who makes people laugh -- well, sometimes anyway.
Mr. Colbert once claimed to be 5'11" tall and after taking a look at him and comparing his height to that of Donald Trump (6'1" now -- 6'2" in prime), Barack Obama (6'1"), Ryan Reynolds (6'2"), Liam Hemsworth (6'3½"), and some more such fine gentlemen, we think that Colbert can pull off looking like 5'11" tall -- at times.
But we think most of the time he looks a bit shorter -- so he missed the entry into the elite 5'11" talk show hosts club -- whose exalted members are Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver.
The real height of Stephen Colbert is
5'10½" or 179 cm

"Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow."
