Exhibit C: November 2009. Jorge Posada, Andy Pettitte, and Derek Jeter, all (at the time) New York Yankees, are six feet two, six feet five, and six feet three, respectively. Jeter, sitting directly next to Letterman, appears a full foot or so shorter than the host, despite actually being an inch taller than him.

I wrote about chairs!
Chair height can be deceiving, depending on torso/leg length. I’m not saying that Letterman isn’t on a high chair and that they’re not taller, but my fiance is a good two inches taller than me standing, but when we sit I’m at least an inch taller (I have short legs and a long torso).
