Anthony Clark, best known for his work on the CBS sitcom Yes, Dear, has passed away at the age of 62
His de.ath was announced by his former castmate Mike O’Malley who penned an emotional tribute to the ‘hilarious’ actor.
‘Anthony Clark d!ed yesterday,’ he wrote in a post shared to Instagram and X on Wednesday. ‘He was a hilarious guy.
‘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 recalled seeing Clark for the first time at The Comedy Connection, and said ‘we laughed and laughed and laughed.’
He added that the comedian was ‘unique’ and a comic ‘who is laughing along with you at the absurdity of his stories and observations and it just made you laugh harder because he was laughing.’
O’Malley expressed that he had been a big fan of Clark before the pair developed a friendship.
He then revealed that he had spoken to the late star shortly before his passing.
‘We spoke on the phone three weeks ago,’ O’Malley wrote. ‘He had us laughing loudly as he always did.’
He concluded the tribute by adding, ‘Attached are some snapshots from our last episode of “Yes Dear” which ended twenty years ago after 122 episodes.
‘He invested his money well and essentially retired after we wrapped. Rest in peace, Tony.’
One black and white photo showed Clark and O’Malley flashing small smiles towards the camera while on set of the sitcom. Another slide had captured the comedian taking a seat on set while holding a script in his hand.
