Gregory Thomas García (born April 4, 1970), is an American television producer and teleplay writer. He was the creator/executive producer on the long-running sitcom Yes, Dear and the creator/executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning My Name Is Earl (where he made two cameo appearances). He has also worked for the series Family Matters and as a consulting producer on Family Guy.
García grew up in Arlington, Virginia, graduated from Yorktown High School, and attended Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland and participated in the Warner Bros. Writing for Television courses, which ultimately opened the door for him as a writer in Hollywood. While at Frostburg he was president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣAE) Fraternity, an experience that showed through in an episode of My Name is Earl when a brother of the fictional Phi Alpha Fraternity hands out flyers, as Phi Alpha is the motto of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
García worked as a board operator for The Tony Kornheiser Show on WTEM radio. He was also briefly an intern and recurring character on the syndicated Don and Mike radio show.
García and his wife Kim together have three children.
García has been incorrectly labeled as a Scientologist, as many in the Earl cast are members of the church, after reports in the Daily Mirror and comments made by actor Alec Baldwin.[1] Garcia, however, is a Roman Catholic.
His name is mentioned in Entourage when writer's agent Andrew Klein (Gary Cole) tells Ari Gold that he signed Garcia with their agency in the series' season six premiere "Drive".
