Anthony Clark, the comedian and actor best known for his role in the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear, has died at the age of 62. His death on November 10, 2026, has left fellow comedians, former colleagues and fans remembering a performer whose humor made a lasting impression both on and off the stage.
The news became public on November 11, when his former Yes, Dear co-star and longtime friend Mike O’Malley shared an emotional tribute. But it was one particular detail in his message that caught people’s attention. O’Malley revealed that he had spoken with Clark just three weeks before his death. Their conversation was filled with laughter, much like the many moments they had shared over the years.
O’Malley also remembered the first time he watched Clark perform in Boston during the mid-1990s. At the time, Clark was already a popular comedian, regularly selling out shows. O’Malley recalled attending one of his performances at The Comedy Connection with his wife, Lisa. The experience left such an impression that he never forgot how effortlessly Clark connected with the audience.
What made Clark different, O’Malley explained, was the way he delivered his comedy. He was not simply standing on stage telling jokes. He laughed along with the audience as he shared funny stories and observations about everyday life. His natural delivery made people feel as though they were sharing a conversation with a friend rather than watching a comedian perform.
O’Malley also shared photographs from the final episode of Yes, Dear, the CBS sitcom that brought Clark to a much wider television audience. The show ran for six seasons, from 2000 to 2006, producing 122 episodes. Clark played Greg Warner, appearing alongside O’Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder.
For O’Malley, however, Clark was much more than a television co-star. His tribute made clear that their friendship went back years before they worked together on the sitcom. He remembered being a fan of Clark’s comedy before the two eventually became friends. Their relationship continued long after their time on the show ended.
Other comedians also shared memories of the late performer. Nick Swardson, who described Clark as one of his closest friends, recalled opening for him for years during their early comedy careers. He remembered their time together as a period filled with nonstop laughter and good memories.
Comedian Dane Cook also paid tribute, recalling performing alongside Clark during their early years in Boston. Cook described him as one of the best live performers he had ever watched. Fellow comedian Jay Mohr also remembered Clark’s performances at Stitches in Boston, praising the impression he left on audiences.
Clark’s career extended beyond Yes, Dear. He also starred in NBC’s Boston Common and CBS’s Soul Man. His film appearances included Dogfight, The Thing Called Love and The Rock. In 2006, he hosted the fourth season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, adding another television role to his career.
His longtime manager, Barry Katz, also confirmed the news and remembered Clark as one of the funniest and most talented comedian-actors he had represented. Katz praised the happiness, love and joy Clark brought to the people he worked with and the audiences who watched him perform.
Reports have also linked Clark’s death to complications from pneumonia. However, further medical details have not been publicly established, and no additional information about the circumstances has been released.
Clark was born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He attended Emerson College in Boston, where he developed his comedy career before moving into television and film. His early success in the Boston comedy scene helped open the door to the acting opportunities that eventually made him familiar to viewers across the country.
Information about his funeral, memorial service and surviving family members has not been publicly announced.
For those who knew Clark personally, his death means the loss of a friend who could turn an ordinary conversation into a memorable moment. For television audiences, he will remain familiar as Greg Warner. And for the comedians who watched him perform in Boston, he will be remembered as the man who could leave an entire room laughing.
