\n\tAnthony Clark<\/a>, an actor and comedian best known for starring in six seasons of \u201cYes, Dear,\u201d died Tuesday. He was 62.<\/p>\n

\n\tClark\u2019s death was announced by his \u201cYes, Dear\u201d co-star Mike O\u2019Malley, who shared the news on Wednesday in a statement posted to X.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnthony Clark died yesterday. He was a hilarious guy,\u201d wrote O\u2019Malley. \u201cWhen 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 \u2014 one of those comics who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cI was a fan before I was a friend. We spoke on the phone three weeks ago. He had us laughing loudly once again. Attached are some snapshots from our last episode of \u2018Yes Dear\u2019 which ended twenty years ago after 122 episodes. Rest in peace. Tony.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYes, Dear\u201d first aired on CBS in 2000, and starred Jean Lousia Kelly, Liza Snyder, Billy Gardell and Joel Homan in addition to Clark and O\u2019Malley. The comedy followed two young couples and their contrasting views on parenting, per the show\u2019s official description. The fan-favorite show ran for six seasons, despite never garnering major acclaim among critics \u2014 back in 2005, in an article titled \u201cAnother year for \u2018Yes, Dear\u2019?\u201d Variety wrote that the \u201clittle-comedy-that-could\u201d was \u201cmaking a strong play for another season\u201d after \u201ccheating death last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore starring in the sitcom, Clark had roles in films including \u201cDogfight,\u201d \u201cThe Thing Called Love\u201d and \u201cThe Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnthony Clark was born on April 4, 1964, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He first began his career as a comedian, and in 1995 was featured in HBO\u2019s \u201cYoung Comedians\u201d special.
