Comedian Anthony Clark, 'Yes, Dear' Star, Dies at 62 of Pneumonia Complications
Photo: Fox NewsAnthony Clark, the comedian and actor best known as Greg Warner on the sitcom "Yes, Dear," died at age 62 on Nov. 10 of complications from pneumonia, according to Deadline. His longtime manager, Barry Katz, called Clark one of the funniest and most talented comedians and actors he had ever watched. Co-star Mike O'Malley confirmed the death in a post, saying they had spoken by phone three weeks earlier. Clark was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1964, graduated from Emerson College and starred in NBC's "Boston Common" from 1996 to 1997. "Yes, Dear" ended 20 years ago after 122 episodes.
Right-leaning sources Fox News and the Washington Times both lead with the pneumonia cause. Fox News quotes manager Barry Katz and O'Malley's X post, including the 122-episode run, while the Washington Times headline and excerpt focus on the death at 62. Left-leaning The New York Times leads with Clark's Greg Warner role and O'Malley's confirmation, reports his age as 63 rather than 62, and its excerpt does not mention pneumonia. Alternative source The A.V. Club matches the others on the death, pneumonia and age 62, but adds a career history from Lynchburg through Emerson College to Los Angeles and the film Dogfight. The sides agree on the death and O'Malley's confirmation; they differ on his age and on the platform O'Malley used, Instagram in The A.V. Club and X in Fox News.
