Anthony Clark, the stand-up comedian who became a household name as the star of CBS’ Yes, Dear, has died. He was 62.
Clark died on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a post from his former co-star Mike O’Malley. He reportedly died from complications related to pneumonia, according to Deadline.
O’Malley paid tribute to his friend on social media, remembering how popular Clark was in Boston’s comedy scene long before Hollywood came calling.
“When my wife Lisa and I were dating back in the mid-nineties, Anthony was already famous in Boston, regularly selling out comedy shows,” O’Malley wrote. “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.”
Clark starred alongside O’Malley, Jean Louisa Kelly and Liza Snyder on Yes, Dear, the sitcom about two very different couples living under one roof. The show premiered in 2000 and ran for six seasons.
Yes, Dear executive producer Greg Garcia, who also created My Name Is Earl, said Clark had “the most insane sense of humor” of anyone he knew. The two had recently reconnected and talked every month.
“Recently, he was so full of joy and encouragement when he found out I was trying stand-up comedy for the first time,” Garcia told Deadline. “Just a few weeks ago we were laughing hysterically on the phone, trading jokes and telling stories. It’s a sad day, and I’ll miss him very much.”
Clark got his start in stand-up and was featured in an HBO Young Comedians special alongside comics including Dave Chappelle and Dave Attell. He also landed film roles, appearing in 1993’s A Thing Called Love with River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock, and playing a flamboyant hairdresser who gives Sean Connery a haircut in the 1996 action hit The Rock.
Before Yes, Dear, he starred in the sitcoms Boston Common and Soul Man. In 2006, he returned to his stand-up roots as the host of Season 4 of Last Comic Standing.
