How Tall Is Nick Cannon?

Very few stars from the 1990s have such staying power as Nick Cannon. Initially rising to fame through Nickelodeon's "All That" in the 1990s, Cannon then parlayed that experience into further television opportunities with "Kenan and Kel," "The Parkers," and "Chappelle's Show." The actor has also had a fruitful film career with starring roles in "Drumline," "Love Don't Cost a Thing," and "Roll Bounce." Cannon's career truly took off, however, in 2005 when he launched the hit MTV series "Wild 'n Out," a live sketch comedy and improv show featuring celebrities from all walks of entertainment.

Since then, Cannon has used his entrepreneurial spirit to launch his own brand, N'Credible Entertainment, as well as land prominent hosting gigs on "America's Got Talent" and "The Masked Singer." So basically, if you've watched television at all since the late '90s, you know who Cannon is. On top of his widely-ranging appearances, Cannon is known for his engaging sense of humor and Casanova ways, boasting seven children amongst four partners (including ex Mariah Carey, whom he was married to from 2008 to 2016).

And while Cannon may not be the biggest person in the room at all times (Terry Crews would like to have a word), his boisterous personality and funnyman attitude have surely landed him in the hall of giants. With that being said, let's take a look at how Nick Cannon really is!

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average male height in the U.S. is a little over 5 feet 7 inches tall. The results were agglomerated between 1999 to 2016 and accounted for males across multiple races and age groups. So where exactly does Nick Cannon fall here?

Well, Cannon is not your average television show host, he's not your average comedian, and he's not of average height either — because he's slightly above average! According to CelebHeights, the N'Credible Entertainment entrepreneur clocks in at around 5-foot-10-and-a-half. Heightline provides a similar sentiment, noting that Cannon is 5-foot-10 and three-quarters while highlighting certain discrepancies and mysteries surrounding the TV show host's height.

The outlet mentions that Cannon has reportedly given 6-foot-1 as his height, though they agree with the 5-foot-10 sentiment given Hollywood's reliance on products such as specific boots and extra couch cushions to boost an entertainer's height. So while it's safe to say Nick Cannon is 5-foot-10, it is possible that he may float around the 6-foot range on a good day.

Nick Cannon is slightly above average when it comes to his height, but his personality is as big as the moon. If you don't believe us, just take a look at Cannon's love life. Mariah Carey, Christian Milian, models Selita Ebanks and Brittany Bell, and DJ Abby De La Rosa — all have fallen under Cannon's love spell. When juxtaposed alongside his lovers, it becomes evident that 5-foot-10 is a valid assumption in relation to Cannon's height.

Heightline notes that lovers De La Rosa and Bell clock in at 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-9, respectively. Sharing pictures of the two couples, Cannon visibly towers over the former, while barely hovering over the latter. Carey, whom the outlet notes is also 5-foot-9, gives Cannon a run for his money while Ebanks (whom Fashion Model Directory notes is 5-foot-9-and-a-half) also rivals the "Wild 'n Out" host in the height department. "Love Don't Cost a Thing" co-star and former flame Milian, however, is the smallest of the lot — clocking in at 5-foot-2 (per CelebHeights), appearing noticeably shorter than Cannon.
