Actor Anthony Clark, known for "Yes, Dear," dies at 62
Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, best known for his role on the sitcom "Yes, Dear," died at age 62, his co-star announced on social media.
Actor and comedian Anthony Clark, who starred in six seasons of the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," died on Tuesday at the age of 62. The news was confirmed by his former co-star Mike O’Malley, who posted a statement on X on Wednesday.
"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."
O’Malley added that he had spoken with Clark three weeks before his death and recalled a recent phone conversation that left them both laughing. He also shared photos from the final episode of "Yes, Dear," which concluded twenty years ago after 122 episodes.
"Yes, Dear" premiered in 2000 and followed two young couples navigating parenting differences. The series ran for six seasons, ending without major critical acclaim but maintaining a loyal audience. Prior to his television work, Clark appeared in films such as "Dogfight," "The Thing Called Love" and "The Rock." He began his career as a stand-up comedian, featuring in HBO’s 1995 "Young Comedians" special alongside Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. Clark was born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia.
