Anthony Clark Dies at 62: ‘Yes, Dear’ Star Remembered by Mike O’Malley and Greg Garcia

Anthony Clark dies at 62. The stand-up comedian who became a household name as Greg Warner on the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear died on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. His former co-star Mike O’Malley announced the news on Wednesday.

Clark was 62. Born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia, he built his career the hard way: first the Boston comedy-club stage, then network television. For millions of viewers, he will always be Greg Warner, the uptight producer sparring with his brother-in-law Jimmy Hughes.

How Did Anthony Clark Die?

Clark died on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to O’Malley. Deadline reported that he died from complications related to pneumonia, but no official cause has been shared. No family member has spoken publicly, and The Hollywood Reporter noted the cause was not immediately available. So treat the pneumonia report as unconfirmed for now.

Nobody has said where Clark died. His family has not announced funeral arrangements yet. His manager, Barry Katz, confirmed the death and praised the joy Clark brought to everyone he worked with.

“He will be missed for the joy, happiness, and love he brought to everyone he worked with and the audiences that were blessed to see his undeniable performances,” Katz told Deadline.

Mike O’Malley and Greg Garcia Lead the Tributes to Anthony Clark

O’Malley played Jimmy Hughes opposite Clark for six seasons, and he shared the news with a warm, personal tribute.

“Anthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy,” O’Malley wrote. “When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows. The first time we saw him at The Comedy Connection we laughed and laughed and laughed. He was so unique — one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations. I was a fan before I was a friend.”

O’Malley added that they had spoken on the phone just three weeks before Clark’s death. “We spoke on the phone three weeks ago,” he wrote. “He had us laughing loudly once again.” He posted photos from the final episode of Yes, Dear, which ended twenty years ago after 122 episodes. “Rest in peace. Tony.”

Meanwhile, Yes, Dear co-creator Greg Garcia told Deadline that Clark had “the most insane sense of humor” of anyone he knew. The two had reconnected in recent years and spoke every month.

“I’ve been very lucky to be friends with some of the funniest people in the world, and Anthony Clark had the most insane sense of humor of all of them,” Garcia said. “The things that would come out of his mouth were so unexpected and hilarious. Over the last two or three years we had reconnected, and I always looked forward to our monthly phone calls where we would catch up and make each other laugh.”

“Just a few weeks ago we were laughing hysterically on the phone, trading jokes and telling stories,” Garcia added. “It’s a sad day, and I’ll miss him very much.”

Anthony Clark’s Career: From Boston Comedy Clubs to Yes, Dear

Clark got his start in stand-up at Emerson College in Boston, where he graduated in 1986 with a mass communication degree. Soon he became a fixture of the city’s comedy scene. HBO even featured him in a Young Comedians special alongside Dave Chappelle and Dave Attell.

Hollywood noticed. Clark appeared in 1993’s A Thing Called Love with River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock. Three years later, he played the flamboyant hairdresser who cuts Sean Connery’s hair in the 1996 hit The Rock.

On television, Clark starred in the NBC sitcom Boston Common (1996–1997) and then in Soul Man (1997–1998). But his defining role came in 2000, when CBS cast him as Greg Warner in Yes, Dear. Greg Garcia and Alan Kirschenbaum created the show about two very different couples living under one roof. Clark starred alongside O’Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder. The series ran six seasons and 122 episodes, and it even earned guest star Betty White an Emmy nomination.

After Yes, Dear ended in 2006, Clark returned to his stand-up roots and hosted Season 4 of Last Comic Standing. Later, he stepped back from Hollywood to focus on real estate.

Anthony Clark’s Life and Career Timeline

What Is Anthony Clark’s Legacy?

Clark’s legacy lives in two places: first, the Boston comedy scene. He sold out rooms there before most of America knew his name. The comics who watched him never forgot his style: a storyteller laughing along with the crowd at his own tales.

Second, Yes, Dear itself. The show never chased prestige, yet it lasted six seasons because its central pairing worked. Clark’s uptight Greg and O’Malley’s easygoing Jimmy gave the sitcom its engine. Reruns keep introducing the show to new viewers today.

Clark died on the same day as two other beloved performers: Stacy Keach, 85, and Irma P. Hall, 91. He will be added to our running remembrance, Celebrities We Lost in 2026, alongside those honoured in our September 2026 tribute.

What Happens Next?

Co-stars keep sharing memories, and clips of his stand-up and best Yes, Dear scenes keep spreading online. For viewers who want to revisit his work, Yes, Dear remains the place to start.
