Anthony Clark, the stand-up comedian who played Greg Warner on CBS's Yes, Dear, died November 10, 2026, at age 62. His co-star Mike O'Malley announced the death on November 11. The latest reporting adds a significant but qualified detail: several outlets citing Deadline say Clark died from complications related to pneumonia. No independently verified family or medical statement establishing the cause was available in the sources reviewed, so the pneumonia account should be treated as a reported cause rather than a formally confirmed finding.
Tributes have also expanded beyond O'Malley's initial remembrance. Longtime manager Barry Katz praised the joy Clark brought to colleagues and audiences, while Yes, Dear executive producer Greg Garcia recalled reconnecting with Clark through regular phone conversations in recent years. Those reflections add to the picture of a Boston stand-up favorite who became a network sitcom lead and remained closely tied to the craft of comedy.
Destaques
O'Malley wrote on social media on Wednesday, November 11, that Clark had died the previous day. The November 10 date and Clark's age, 62, are supported by the Los Angeles Times' reporting. Clark was born April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Subsequent reports, including Us Weekly's account, attribute a pneumonia-complications explanation to Deadline. This marks a change from the earliest reports, which said the cause was not disclosed. The source of the reported medical detail is not made clear in the available material, however, and a public statement from the family or a medical authority was not independently established. That distinction matters: the cause has been reported, but its official status remains unverified.
O'Malley recalled first seeing Clark perform at Boston's Comedy Connection during the 1990s, when Clark was already drawing sold-out audiences. He described a distinctive comic who seemed to laugh with audiences at the absurdity of his own observations. O'Malley said they had talked by phone roughly three weeks before Clark's death and shared another round of laughter.
Clark's longtime manager, Barry Katz, said in a statement reported by People and Us Weekly that he was among the funniest and most talented comedian-actors he had represented, emphasizing the happiness and affection Clark brought to his work.
Greg Garcia, an executive producer of Yes, Dear, told Deadline, as quoted in Us Weekly, that he and Clark had renewed their friendship over the past two or three years and spoke about once a month. Garcia remembered Clark's spontaneous humor and encouragement when Garcia began experimenting with stand-up comedy. Comedian Nick Swardson, who said he opened for Clark for years, recalled their enduring friendship; Dane Cook also remembered Clark as an outstanding live performer from the Boston scene.
For a generation of sitcom viewers, Clark was Greg Warner, the frequently anxious, career-minded father at the center of CBS's Yes, Dear. The series featured Jean Louisa Kelly as Greg's wife Kim, Mike O'Malley as Jimmy Hughes and Liza Snyder as Christine Hughes. Its humor often emerged from the differences between two households sharing one property, with Greg's carefully organized world continually disrupted.
Yes, Dear aired from 2000 to 2006 over six seasons and 122 episodes. That sustained network run made Clark recognizable far beyond comedy clubs. Yet the character's nervous energy and precisely timed reactions also reflected techniques he had refined through years of stand-up.
Born in Virginia, Clark attended Emerson College in Boston, where he studied mass communications and developed a reputation as a performer. His live comedy career grew through clubs in Boston and later Los Angeles. In 1995 he appeared on an HBO young-comedians special hosted by Garry Shandling, in a lineup that also included Dave Chappelle and other rising stand-ups.
His early screen credits included the film Dogfight, the drama The Thing Called Love and appearances on Ellen. He then landed starring roles in the NBC sitcom Boston Common and CBS's Soul Man before Yes, Dear became his signature television success. His appearances in films including The Rock showed his range beyond the sitcom format.
Clark also worked on stage, including a role in the Broadway production of The Grapes of Wrath, a production associated with Tony Award recognition. That distinction applies to the production, not an individual Tony for Clark. His live comedy performances remained an important part of his professional identity even after television brought him a much larger audience.
In 2006, following the end of Yes, Dear, he hosted the fourth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, a particularly fitting assignment for someone with deep ties to comedy-club culture. Later credits included the movie My Uncle Rafael and the television series West of Liberty. TV Guide's credit listing documents his work across film and television.
Clark's television work introduced him to millions, but the strongest themes in colleagues' remembrances are his generosity, quick improvisational instincts and commitment to stand-up. He built a career across live comedy, Broadway, feature films and broadcast television without losing the admiration of comedians who knew his earliest work.
Further reliable information could clarify the circumstances of his death and any memorial arrangements. Until an attributable statement establishes those details, reports about pneumonia should retain their qualification, and no memorial schedule should be assumed. The confirmed story remains a performer remembered both for a long-running network comedy and for the personal connections he made in comedy rooms.
He was 62. Clark died on November 10, 2026, according to Mike O'Malley's November 11 announcement.
Several news outlets, citing Deadline, have reported complications related to pneumonia. An independently verifiable official cause-of-death statement was not found in the sources reviewed.
