For the major Jon Stewart fans out there, there has been points in the comedian's career where he hasn't been limited to sitting behind a desk. Prior to his turn on "The Daily Show," Stewart was actually an established actor. A year before replacing the show's first host Craig Kilborn, Stewart starred in the Robert Rodriguez sci-fi horror "The Faculty" as well as the romantic comedy "Playing by Heart" opposite Gillian Anderson, who was best known for her role as Scully on "The X-Files" at the time.
What Anderson was also known for was her height, especially beside "X-Files" co-star David Duchovny. The actress stands at 5' 2," according to the Express, and like Duchovny, Stewart towered over Anderson. While maybe not as tall as Duchovny, who stands at 6 feet (via Celeb Heights), Stewart is around 5 '6" or 5' 7," according to the Celeb Heights website.
But Stewart wasn't always this tall. In fact, as a kid he was often referred to as the "runt" of his friend group. "I was very small in high school," Stewart told the Los Angeles Times "So my role in every social interaction was always the wisecracking runt who had big friends."
