“Yes, Dear” star Anthony Clark has died at the age of 62.
Clark’s former co-star Mike O’Malley took to X on Wednesday to share the news, writing that the actor — who passed away the day prior — “was a hilarious guy.”
He added, “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 noted that the first time they saw Clark at The Comedy Connection, they “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 recalled, noting that he was “a fan before [he] was a friend.” O’Malley recalled that the pals “spoke on the phone three weeks ago.”
“He had us laughing loudly once again,” O’Malley wrote, drawing attention to snapshots from the beloved CBS sitcom, which he noted “ended 20 years ago after 122 episodes.”
“Rest in peace Tony,” he concluded the post.
In the comments thread, fans mourned the loss, with one person writing, “RIP Anthony. You made us all laugh so hard.”
Another chimed in, “he was a genuinely funny comedian who clearly brought a lot of people joy. Thinking of him and you.”
A third remarked, “Yes, Dear” was a great show. 🙏 to all that loved and knew him,” while a fourth lamented, “Yes, Dear” got us through some times 💕 RIP.”
Via O’Malley’s similar Instagram post, celebrities also commented on Clark’s death.
“I performed with Anthony during our early years in Boston at the Faneuil Hall Comedy Connection,” wrote fellow comedian Dane Cook.
“He was one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Destroyed to a point he made you wanna quit right then and there while watching him do it effortlessly. This is really terrible to hear. ❤️
